What will happen to my current two years of prepaid GamePass Ultimate? There's a cap of three years for game pass pre-paid time. AFAIK the system won't let you activate the included GPU until it's valid for you to have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK the system won't let you activate the included GPU until it's valid for you to have it. Here is the blurb from the walmart FAQ: If you’re already an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member, wait until your existing membership has a prepaid balance that is less than 12 months before redeeming the 24-month Ultimate membership through Xbox All Access. You will be unable to redeem with more than 12 prepaid months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. To check your prepaid balance, go to https://account.microsoft.com/services/. Note, once converted to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Live Gold and other Game Pass memberships cannot be unconverted. Learn more at https://xbox.com/gamepass. Carlos.

Romier S 5,189 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Cross posting in both Xbox and PS5 threads. https://www.tweaktown.com/news/78096/amds-upcoming-dlss-competitor-will-be-on-pc-ps5-and-xbox-series/index.html I’d put it in the rumor until completely confirmed but a DLSS equivalent for these consoles would be HUGE.

Romier S 5,189 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 New update for the X/S added the ability to set FPS Boost and Auto-HDR per game. Just click on the options button on the game and select “Manage Game” and you’ll see compatibility options there. Very cool! I didn’t like having to go to the settings menu to disable Auto-HDR on some titles. AlbertA, Angry the Clown and JoeyN 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry the Clown 4,330 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 That's excellent. Now if Sony would disable forcing HDR on SDR games.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kelley 840 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Early reviews of the Microsoft Headset are in and it’s good, really good for its price point. https://www.theverge.com/22325883/microsoft-xbox-wireless-headset-gaming-series-x-s-pc-windows-10-review I’ve got two on order so my kid and I can quit screaming at each other across the hallway.

Paul 206 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I slept on the headset when it first was put up for preorder, now having a hard time finding one. Plan on purchasing when I do though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brandon H 297 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Have one arriving tomorrow! I prefer to game with my surround-sound system but that’s not feasible when the chat headset picks up every explosion and broadcasts it to my party. I don’t like to be “that guy” in the gaming session. Hopefully this is a good substitute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 206 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I found a pair at Best Buy, so I bought them. Now a quick question. How come it doesn’t automatically mute your other audio source when you have the headphones on? It’s minor, but something I appreciate on the PlayStation, whereas it’s been like this on every Xbox I can remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s always been like that on every Xbox console I’ve used headphones with unless there is an option I’m missing? It just always seemed strange to me. But a minor inconvenience at worst.
