bought this xbox with my first ever paycheck 5ish years ago… just can’t handle the newer games so well :/ will probably keep it around to play with the roommates and stuff though. a new controller feels wrong in my hands haha

I can't believe how stacked 2025 is, I honestly think it could go down as a top 5 or even top 3 gaming year.

Xbox has: Avowed, Fable, Doom, South of Midnight, The Outer Worlds 2, and more are rumored (Gears?)

Third party: GTA 6, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Monster Hunter Wilds, AC Shadows, Borderlands 4, Mafia The Old Country, Elden Ring Nightreign, Atomfall, Judas

PlayStation: Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2

Nintendo: Switch 2 and probably some big launch games

There will be more games announced as we get into next year too. Of course delays are possible, but if everything makes it, I really think this will be a generation defining year

Love it when products make it's way into media things like for this consoles and people wondering its Creature Commandos

Recently I noticed my cloud gaming didn't work. I power cycled my console, restarted my internet, nothing.

Before a bunch of other people made posts asking what to do to fix the error I decided I should alert everyone of the server outage of xbox so they are aware.

This game is hand down one of the best games I’ve ever played! A true gem that doesn’t get enough recognition! Get it while it’s hot ! I guarantee you won’t regret it :)

For those interested in what the game is about here’s a brief excerpt

A vibrant, neon city teaming with life, Hong Kong’s exotic locations and busy streets and markets hide one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the notorious Triads. Play as Wei Shen – the highly skilled undercover cop trying to take down the Triads from the inside out. You'll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover.

If I had to describe it I’d say it’s a mix of true crime and gta 5. It’s open world, tons to do, and looks stunning! Especially on the series X! (And s)

Thank me later !

That is it. That is the post

My daughter gave me the same Christmas wish list that she gave her boyfriend.

She asked for headphones as hers were no longer working.(not ear buds she can't wear them)..

We don't exchange gifts until New Years and I got her a rather expensive pair of over the head headphones. She came home with an Xbox headset from her boyfriend.

Now I'm torn. should I return them or not? I'm kind of stupid when it comes to gaming, but I do appreciate a nice set of headphones for listening to music. And I know she does both.

So you gamers/ music appreciators would you also use the Xbox headset for music or would you prefer to have both?

Definitely just a normal xbox nothing out of the ordinary!

For Christmas, I treated myself to a backbone. What's great is that in addition to being compatible with Xbox remote play and Xbox Cloud, it is also compatible with GeForce Now, mobile games on Apple Arcade and surprisingly with remote play on PlayStation 5 . From the outset a good investment.

Happy holidays to you, and if like me you are used to receiving lousy gifts every year, don't hesitate to treat yourself for yourself.

Kisses. 😘

Wasn’t Fight Night Champion supposed to be given away as free from the EA giveaway on the 26th? Or they did and I didn’t notice? https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/12/16/ea-play-rewards-december-2024/

If so, can you bind the paddle buttons to your potions??

That is all…thanks!

Hello all. Hope everyone had a great holiday season.

My friend recently got a series X for Christmas. His meth addicted brother has a habit of stealing his stuff and selling it and I have no doubt that this will happen to his new console. Is there some sort of find my iphone feature for the series x? I doubt it as google comes up with no results but just wanna double check. If not, is there anyway to maybe open up the console and just tape an apple airtag to the interior? Thank you.

I’ve been loaded with gift cards and no big titles are really calling my name. What’s some indies or lesser known titles you would recommend?

It needs to be able to be used with a guest account, it needs to be pvp oriented, and it needa to have 2v2 capabilities.
