    This sale does only apply for active Game Pass subscribers. Those who have no subscription have to pay full price.

    Edit: Damn, Ninja'd again laugh
    If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing.

    A decent showing this week.

    Sonic Mania
    that is a pretty good price for mania and was thinking about it, but man am i garbage at 2d sonic games laugh

    much prefer his 3d outings
    I'm not a Sonic fan persay I only really kinda liked the 2D games and Adventure 2 Battle. Everything is just buggy or not well put together as a package.

    I had thought that was the case the other week when the icons arrived, but sadly it's not the case as I just checked Stalker on the MS store and it's just that you get the discount if you've got Game Pass.

    Thanks. You weren't ninja'd lol, the other response was incorrect as they're not necessarily on GP (specifically the Stalker trilogy), which is why I asked the question as I don't think I've noticed it before. Seems odd for there to be a GP discount on non-GP games.
    Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas... Whatever!

    Wish Turok 3 would go on sale for less than $21. Thats way too much for a remake when the other 2 games are so much cheaper.
    I will admit: that game's not worth the full price of admission.

    Slightly unrelated: Microsoft, can we get back compat on the 2008 Turok? I know it won't happen, but a man can dream, right?
    Which is weird too Because Turok 2 IMO is the one thats actually still worth $20.
    I adore that game. Unfortunately the Switch version is buggy as heck. Gosh I love that game.
    I was a huge fan of it on the N64 even without the expansion pack. That black carriage and scale textured box took it to another level.

    Not really since every subscription tier is called Xbox Game Pass… nowadays. They used to be called Deals with Gold and now Deals with Game Pass.

    Hello people,

    I was wondering something about 2 LEGO Star Wars games, I need your help to know the exact differences between them, if there are any.

    Is "LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens" exactly the same content as in the "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga" compilation? In other words, if I take the full saga, do I need the "episodes 7-9" game anyway? Maybe the saga bundle is not just a compilation and remade/remastered the previous episodes/games, making them different to play?

    Thanks for the replies.

    I'm really enjoying Lost In Random. Great pickup from the sale even though it's on GamePass.

    I’ve had my eye on that one forever. Trying to finish up some other short games before I pick another up, got Agatha Knife a week or two ago and finally have a gap to play it. But let me know how you feel about it when you’re mostly done, I’d be interested to know.
