It’s confirmed: the next xbox will be a Windows PC box. It sounds very interesting that this will also be backwards compatible with Xbox games, including 360/One/Series games. I wonder if it’s just emulation, and how well that will work

    Seems worse to me than humble choice which you don’t need to play online, so you can just buy the months you like to get 8 games in your library as opposed to it being tied to multiplayer.

    Then there’s Epic which gives away games every month without having to spend any money and still retain multiplayer access.

      I canned Humble when it became apparent that I was just buying next months free Epic games.

      I used to do humble years ago, then I remember something changed and the selections were never that good. It’s been a while since I found one worth buying. I also fo Epic every week. I have been for about 3 or 4 years now.

        I’d consider August with Persona 5 Royale as a headliner good.

        Shame xbox stopped letting you keep games with gold back in the 360 era.

          Dang, I missed that. Honestly, I haven’t looked much at humble in years. If thats what they are still pushing, then I will definitely start following again. Thanks for the heads up.
