I'm already using GeForce NOW to play my Steam library (limited to the games available on Nvidia's cloud). Since PC Game Pass is also compatible with GeForce NOW, it adds even more value to both services in my case. Plus, PC Game Pass includes its own Cloud Gaming feature, which is a nice bonus.

I also have a CloudDeck account, and I have this habit, wherever I go, if there's a screen, I try to convince the owner to let me hook up and play. My wife can't stand it, but I find it hilarious. I've definitely gotten more "no's" than "yes's", but when I do get a "yes"? Bruh!

Like one time at Ricky T’s, when the staff actually let me plug into one of their screens via HDMI. I played and drank for hours with a bunch of random, equally tipsy niggas. It was amazing, until Google Fi hit its high-bandwidth cap and shut my ass down. Their WiFi was useless, completely overloaded with locals who weren’t even at the bar. I'm surprised I don't see other gamers doing this sort of shit.

The staff at my local Sam's club was pretty damn cool as well. It's where I purchased my 85inch because they let me hook up my tablet and play a few games to see how they look. BestBuy & Walmart Staff said no so I let them keep their shit. When Sam's saw how many people started gathering around me and Rocket League on a 85inch, they were sad to see me go. lol This is where it all started because my wife takes so long to shop I have to find something to do.

In Orange Beach, Alabama, the hotel had a beach bar with a pool area and just one TV screen. Since it was evening downtime and the bar wasn’t busy, the tender (for a modest $40 tip) let me hook up my Switch. People kept walking by, catching a glimpse of the game, and going, “Wait, they have smash Bros?” And I’d hit them with, “I’ll buy you a drink if you beat me one on one” Nine times out of ten, they were like, “Say less.” Next thing I knew, their was several of us just talking shit and challenging each other to duels.

Good times.

Anyway, Play Anywhere has come in handy for me on a few occasions like those. I forgot to mention them, but if you've made it this far, you get the idea.

You're like a real life Switch commercial. You gotta throw a rooftop party next. Sounds fun.

So, 7.6%

Mild success

But it’s great when it’s there!

I want play on my couch.

"Xbox has no games"

“Xbox has no games, but please release all these games I say you don’t have on the PS5.”

 

[Gryllis]

That's terrible. If everything is an Xbox, then everything I own and is playable on Series X should be play anywhere.

They went way too early with that campaign.

 

[DenchDeckard]

So here's the push. Only buy play anywhere games. Interesting that they seem to be talking about this now....

Not gonna lie. I love the play anywhere program. So, keep em coming.

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

"Xbox has no games"

---That people want to play.

Where is Black Myth Wu Kong, for example?

Who needs that when you've got bangers like 15 in 1 solitaire:

Given I game on PC and Xbox, Play Anywhere is often the differentiator between buying a game on Steam versus buying a game on Xbox. We're in 2025 - frankly, everyone should be offering this stuff.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Please make Dead Space remake a play anywhere title. It's the only game I purchased for Series X...
( that I sold last summer for a PS5)

Do you always fabricate?

 

[DeltaPolarBear]

Do you always fabricate?

Just speaking reality. People are either playing free games or specific games they want to play. A large quantity of random titles that cost money is not what gamers are after.

Xbox Series X is not a bad machine. A pity it will always be paired with its weaker twin that drags it down and stops it from getting ram heavy game titles.

Reality is Xbox has games that millions are playing and want to play. Just because it’s not outselling the Switch doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a lot of games that appeal to a lot of people.

They are certainly not willing to pay for it. All the people who are willing to pay for games are at PlayStation.

You need to go outside once in a while and talk to real humans.

That isn’t true either. Game Pass is only 10-15% of Xbox game content revenue. The other 85-90% is retail sales of games and DLC. According to MS.

 

[Esppiral]

Play anywhere
Play no one .

 

[ManaByte]

Play no one .

Again, this is bullshit.

All I play are MP games (COD, Fortnite, OW2, Apex, Halo, SoT) and I play them mostly on XSX/XSS (OW2 gives you a GP XP boost) and I never have a problem finding matches.

Wtf is that nonsense. What drives a person to knowingly write something so blatantly wrong?

 

[Kacho]

Is there a full list of games that's easy to browse, like an Excel table?

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Touting their shovelware and closed down, no where near complete BC program is a weird flex. But Phil pulled the string for the “influencers” to repeat. Just the latest propaganda.

One title. One.

At least every first party title falls in that category. Including COD.

Why wouldn’t they tout their BC program? They went above and beyond to get 360 and original Xbox games running on Xbox One.

Weird.

Yeah I saw that. Better than the main site but still a pain in the ass to sift through. They need play anywhere filters in our game library and on the console store.

Does look like they’re retroactively updating older games to play anywhere titles, although it’s a very small number. They have a metric shit ton of work to do there.

Wonder how they plan to deal with legacy titles like Fallout 3 and New Vegas. The console versions are 360 games with none of the DLC included, while the PC version is its own thing with all the DLC included, but no achievements.

They’re terminally online. They’re posting on a forum that’s like 95% pro PS5, and their X feed is made up of such illustrious accounts as Red Dragon, Zuby, and NIB.
