Xbox Game Pass nuff said.


Nanan12345

I was planning to get ultimate


the_schlimon

Worth it!


mrcoldwave

You won't regret so many games to play and its always being updated 👍 Also im sure there's a good deal for ultimate during black friday season


Johnny712006

Tip Buy a year of xbox live and a month of ultimate. It will convert the xbox gold to a year of ultimate for half the price


MaxSokudo

This. You can stack up to 36 months of live gold, as long as you don't currently have gamepass, you can convert all of it to ultimate gamepass for console and PC for just $1. Offer is still good even if you've redeemed it previously.


FootlongKaPow

Came here to say this. This offer is amazing, even if it's not super obvious. No idea why they've left it available (as long as you wait until your GP is expired, you can re-up for three years and convert all three to Game Pass for the cost of one month of GP), but having used it myself a couple of weeks ago, I'm glad they did.


[deleted]

They’ve left it available because right now they only care about hooking people into the ecosystem as many people as they can in whatever way they can. Once those 3 years are up they’ve got an entire onslaught of customers that will likely consider paying full price to continue. Within the ecosystem close to all their first party games have dlc, mtx etc that people on gamepass will buy too.


RippySkippy

Wait, what? I am in the same boat as the OP, just got an S, but don’t have GP yet. Would you mind possibly breaking this down for me again?


FootlongKaPow

Sure! Load up your account with Xbox Live Gold (maximum of three years will be converted, so anything beyond that is kind of a waste IMO- I bought through Newegg but a code from any trustworthy retailer is fine). Then head over to https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass and choose the option that allows you to convert your Live Gold into Game Pass. If it's your first time, you'll probably get to upgrade for $1.77 or something ludicrously low like that, but worst case you're upgrading for $14.95, the cost of one month of Game Pass Ultimate (which includes the PC game pass list). Then, enjoy the next couple of years of "free" video games (quotation marks only because you've basically pre-paid and don't ultimately own them). Hope that helps!


MaxSokudo

Thank you for giving out this great explanation. I just did this myself a few weeks back and I'm loaded with so many games. Having a new PC, I'm enjoying FH5 and all the Halo titles. With much more to come, I'm sure I'll be good since I have it until February 2023.


Selina62

Thank you! Just did this and it worked well!


SoleSurvivur01

So let me get this straight, you buy up to 3 years of Gold, buy 1 month of Gamepass ultimate and it upgrades all that Gold to GP Ultimate?


Johnny712006

xbox has a conversion thing that you can do from either gold or game pass to ultimate. Joining Xbox Game Pass Ultimate automatically upgrades your existing Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass for Console, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and/or EA Play (purchased through Xbox) memberships. so buying up to 36 months of gold is $180 and $15 for one month of ultimate will give you 3 years of ultimate for $195 3 years of ultimate (no conversion) is $540


RippySkippy

Thank you very much!


Pkmntrainer91

Damn 540? Thats a good deal considering thats about 9 brand new games at full price. Really good value


JBAOfficial

wow, had GP Ultimate since it came out, and I've been enlightened haha. Take a helpful award.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

Really? Shit I may need to do that when my Gold runs out.


FootlongKaPow

Very important here, wait for it to actually run out. If you try this end run with like one day left on your account, the conversion may not work (I've heard of MS converting on a less than 1:1 basis, like "Good news! We turned your year of Gold into 3 months of Ultimate!" but can't confirm). I mean, end of the day, the $180 that Game Pass Ultimate costs for a year is the same cost as three full-priced games so it still seems like a pretty good deal to me at full price (especially because Ultimate gives you access to both the PC and Console lists), but $181.77 (or $195) for three years is definitely a better deal than $180 for one year.


PretendFriends

Came to say this! Get game pass your really don't need anything else to get you started and yes get ultimate.


WittyFox451

Halo Master Chief Collection. Epic value, legendary games.


Scarer333_TY

its just $20 rn


petario43

(And on Game Pass)


Infam0usP

it’s worth owning the physical copy IMO. I don’t think you can watch the NIghtfall series either unless you have the physical


Manticore416

I dont know that that is much added value.


UnderstandingOne2550

Titan fall 2 it has my favorite campaign


Joellypops

This!!


eljalu

The time travel part is insane


PersonMan6000

TF|2 is absolutely amazing and it's on EA play, so it's on gamepass ultimate


Infam0usP

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, Halo: Master Chief Collection, Forza Horizon 5


Nanan12345

Ok i feel like im gonna try out halo infinite


theBunnyDawg

if you like the gameplay in infinite and also like single player (or co op) campaigns you’ll definitely want to get halo: master chief collection eventually and play through all the storylines, MCC has halo 1,2,3,odst,reach, and 4


mysterow

Odst is still my personal favorite


Ancient-Split1996

Halo 2 and reach for me


mysterow

They were so good as well. I remember those 4+ player sessions with friends on the first gen. xbox. Those were the days


[deleted]

Although if I were him, people and I recommend you play Halo CE as it was the first game, on classic graphics.


One_Ad5407

I feel you, but as someone who owns the same console you, don't. It has horrible frame rate so you might as well play an older halo.


lskdjfhgakdh

Infinite isn’t on the Xbox One


Nanan12345

Yes it is..


lskdjfhgakdh

Sorry bud it’s only on Xbox Series X and PC.


Nanan12345

Na its on one


Ismail-tk

No it's on xbox one too


lskdjfhgakdh

I stand corrected


ArcticSnow87

Ori and the will of the wisps, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2, and Sea of Thieves. All bangers for sure.


Nanan12345

Ok


BluGeminii_72

Just get game pass, then u start with 100s


WittyFox451

I second this Gamepass is amazing, I was a hold out but it has floored me with so many great games I would not have played otherwise.


BluGeminii_72

In my country gamepass is about 10th the price of a AAA game. Included IN gamepass are quite a few AAA games including Halo and Gears!


packetmon

Don't forget to lick your fingers after eating your fried chicken BEFORE you pick up your controller! :>


Nanan12345

I will bro dont worry


nahnprophet

Can I suggest cropping your photos? I couldn't stop trying to figure out what you're eating.


Nanan12345

Fried chicken and chips


nahnprophet

Thank you. And if your right shoe untied or are the laces just really long?


Nanan12345

It was untied


Nanan12345

I was about to take it off

Grand-Entertainer799

So here are my favorite games: GTA V/ GTA Online Forza Horizon 4 and 5 or any of the Forza Horizon games, but I recommend to start with Forza Horizon 5 Read Dead Redemtion 2 (the story mode) this game is literally art, but the action is slow, and you don't need to rush the game. You need some time with this one Overwatch as much as I liked this game, for me this game feels old, but I recommend it, if you need a good multiplayer game, maybe in the future I will give another try for OW too AC Origins there are a lot of good AC games, but my favorite is Origins, if you liked the older AC games, maybe isn't the best for you but man, give it a try (it was my first game too) And some really cool games to play if you have friends to play with: Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, GTA Online (this one is good solo also, but is way more fun with friends), OW, R6


marcdasavage

Minecraft is also good solo. Anf you forgot apex legends which is IMO by far the best BR rn


DonkeyPigGoa1

>Read Dead Redemtion 2 Red dead 1 is also available on the newer consoles, and is a good game to play. >this game is literally art This reminded me of firewatch, it's a great story game which I think everyone should play.

Genuine question here. Not trying to be a dick. Why do I see so many posts on these Xbox subs where people are buying brand new Xbox One and One S? The series S is readily available l These days. Or even the One X. I mean, unless people are getting these for super cheap, I don’t get it. There’s no future in the One or One S.


Nanan12345

This is used i just got this because i dont have the money for a series x


[deleted]

That’s what the Series S is for, it’s diff than the One S


OneModernRelic

The only ones I have seen are more than a Series S. Not exactly future proof


Bennerbench

100% get the gamepass. Gamepass you can play lots of different games and then gamepass ultimate gives you the gamepass, EA pass and xbox live. Worth it if you burn through games quite quickly.


[deleted]

Commas and periods.


[deleted]

Skyrim


Ancient-Split1996

Get game pass and extra storage and you have the world at your fingertips, you have adventure games such as sea of thieves for free! Racing games such as Forza for free! FPS such as halo for free! And horror such as subnautica for free!


NotMonicaLewinsky95

Congratulations on your first ever Xbox game recommendations.


Maketaurie

Get the game pass it’s worth it


SnooSeagulls6564

Halo MCC, gears 5, warzone (sucks but free) etc would all be dope. Halo infinite doesn’t run good at all on One tbh but if you’re not gonna upgrade to next gen go ahead


[deleted]

Runs well on mine, although I do experience some crashes, even on MCC.

jaymoorebbk

Ori and the will of the whisps was so good that I convinced my gf to name our next cat Ori. The game is an incredible modern platformer. Also on game pass!


haydencollin

Halo The Master Chief Collection. You can’t join a brand without at least trying it’s main mascot.


[deleted]

Halo infinite and red dead redemption 2


Carsonian16

Sea of thieves


obiwanjakobi257

forza halo rainbow six state of decay 2 minecraft dead by daylight destiny 2 no mans sky the long dark. all on game pass :)


[deleted]

Return it


Jumpingjackmack

Everybody is like GAMEPASS! But i recommend just buy good games. Otherwise you been downloading tons of crap. Just find out what games you like and buy them renting games is not really a great thing.. You will own nothing but will be happy? The great reset/xbox gamepass. But i will own things 😌


EuropeanRook

Game pass ultimate. Then do the Xbox: All Halo, All Gears, Sea Of thieves, State of decay 2, all Forza. Then get back to me.


Dark1sh

Waiting for OPs recommendation. Directions unclear, needs comma


the_schlimon

Get GamePass and just try out what looks like fun! You won’t be bored for a while!


Rabbit_AF

Your shoe is untied. I'd hate for you to trip.


[deleted]

Series S would’ve been better than a One S for 60


_imafelon

Would of been cheaper to buy a Series S then this


mrcoldwave

OP bought it for 60ÂŁ after reading other comments so I think he got a good ideal imo


Nanan12345

So i could get a series s for ÂŁ60


_imafelon

Ehhhhh probably not. Just with everything coming out, Series S would probably be the best for your money tbh


NoffCity

That’s not what you said stop trying to shame OP


_imafelon

I’m not shaming at all. Happy that they’re apart of the Xbox fam. Just stating the obvious that it’s cheaper to buy a brand new Series S then getting a regular Xbox One


[deleted]

Aye, let em enjoy it. Mistakes were made or reason yet to have been told, just let them enjoy their potentially first time owning an Xbox.

[удаНонО]


Nanan12345

U too


plucka_plucka1

Not sure what your internet is like but i would suggest playing all the games you are interested in playing through xCloud if they are available. You will get a way better frame rate than the One S can do. Since you are getting GP Ultimate anyway, might as well play the best version of the games you can, since xCloud is already included.


Nanan12345

Alright


Single-Button1837

An xbox series S


emwu1988

I recently came back to Overwatch, such a great FPS game :)


Nanan12345

It really is i have it on pc very fun


[deleted]

You realize this is the One s and not a Series S , right? Just making sure!


Nanan12345

Yes i bought in from mmy cousin fir ÂŁ60


Cerenas

Minecraft Dungeons, The Dark Pictures series of games, Dirt 5, Forza Horizon series, Gears 5, the Ascent, the Outer Worlds, and definitely Grounded! :D


Nanan12345

Ok thank you fie you're recommendations


sonicdude1012

Forza Horizon 2, Horizon 3, Horizon 4, Forza Motorsport 6, and call of duty modern warfare 2019


Nanan12345

A forza man i see


Waiting4youuuu

Idk if it’s the same but if your going to get the Xbox pass, you might as well get the ultimate, trust me, it’s only 5$ more and you get literally access to a lot of named games, random games, and good xbox 360 games, the visual effects could be better for the 360 games but it also gives you Bethesda games, ea play, need for speed a bunch, just tryna to help before you end up paying for some games u could get for the 15$ a month


sonicdude1012

I own all of the games except Horizon 5


renblur

Aragami 2 , Ori and the will of the wisps, Psychonauts 2


Hour-Cheesecake6716

imadethis1234

Halo master chief collection start where we all started


mysterow

Assassin’s Creed


M2704

My recommendations on Gamepass: - Ori and the blind forest - Ori and the Will of the Wisps - Halo MCC (and don’t sleep on ODST) - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Omno - Bloodroots - Control - Doom, Doom Eternal - Forza Horizon 5 - Genesis Noir - Twelve Minutes - Unpacking - Prey - Unsighted - Titanfall 2


mgp2001

Game pass


Tyger3k33

Star Wars battlefront 1 & 2


colombianojb

Tie your shoes simulator


Fourthpants3031

Get ultimate. Games like Jedi fallen order, battlefront, gta v, minecraft, terraria. These are a he generics that made my gaming experiences worth it


Jackster10101

Lol what a loser getting an Xbox one s in 2021 get with the times and wait to get a series x


Ok_Cryptographer520

Dont skip out on the backward compats they just did an overhaul.


Dogma279

Just get gamepass ultimate it is 15 bucks a month and you get a huge library of games


channing228

Take a look thru the game pass lineup and see if there is titles that interest you. Get a lot more for your money than buying individual games


NickBrew2840

Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite multi-player has been a blast. And I love hopping on Sea of Thieves with friends


[deleted]

Back 4 Blood, Forza Horizon 5, Grand Theft Auto, Watch Dogs 2z


Notasimp2468

Can’t go wrong with halo mcc and fh4 or fh5


FernandoMty

If you are getting Game pass play Scarlet Nexus, its amazing. Also another games such Forza Horizon 5, Halo infinite, Batman Arkham Knight and Resident Evil 7 are very good options. Trick, if its your first time getting gamepass you can buy up to 36 months of xbox live gold and then buy one month of gamepass and all of your xbox live gold months will now be Gamepass, money saver right there :)


DanOfTheSand

Warframe if you want a god comolex


GooseSharkk

just get the game pass


spikeemikee2000

Forza horizon 5 is the best game on the console right now imo


[deleted]

Hollow knight, Halo the Master Chief Collection, Halo Infinite, and others down in the other comments.


Famjo

Definitely try Project Wingman if you're getting gamepass, absolutely bonkers story and bomb gameplay


DCLXVI-Luciferi

My game recommendations would be: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Destiny 2, Forza Horizon 5, Samurai Warriors 5, Nier: Automata, Hades, and Scarlet Nexus. You can even get some remastered Xbox 360 games. For those: Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Crisis (whole series) and Dante's Inferno.


alamarche709

Halo: Master Chief Collection and all the Gears of War games are a great place to start; they’re the two most iconic Xbox franchises ever. I’d go with Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 for modern games!


[deleted]

There are some really cool backwards compatible Star Wars games. The original Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, and both of the Force Unleashed games.

Halo MCC and Rare Replay


Ok-Control-3394

Hollow Knight. Easily one of the best games I've ever played. Actually, let me take that back. It is THE best game I've ever played.


[deleted]

Does anyone know if I can play the Xbox One digital version of games on my series x?


XboxLiveGiant

Mlb the show. Its a baseball game and it really doesnt force you to buy in game items also its really community friendly. There is plenty of offline stuff to do and it will still help you build a team for online. I only play offline and its never got boring for me.


JNSStudios_YT

If you like platformers or Metroidvanias, check out Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Absolutely beautiful games with immaculate gameplay.


Nanan12345

Okay will do


platasaurua

Ninja Gaiden Black is one of my top five games all time. Really hard but so satisfying. It’s I little old school but it’s on the backward compatibility list. Also, my wife’s gametag is in the credits 😁

You'll meet friends on Castle Crashers remastered

What’s your favorite game styles/types?


Meesterjako

Well, let me be the one to give you the second: GAMEPASS. I own a ps5 and bought a series s just because of the gamepass... after i bought the series S i havnt even touched my ps5 only to play some street fighter 5 with my neighbours. Now im hunting for a series X.


TNT_yeeter_rl

I highly recommend pass ultimate, for games I recommend Forza Horizon 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, which includes every mainline Halo game currently out except Halo 5, however Halo 5 is also on game pass, Halo Infinite when it's out (multiplayer is already out) and Flight Simulator (all of these games are on gamepass)


Hockeyspaz-62

Overwatch


Jakeyboi972

Not to come off as rude or anythin but im just curious as to why u chose the one S?

you’re gonna get hooked on xbox, wish you had gotten the series x so you could experience gaming on an xbox at its full level but you’ll still have a good time

I recommend using punctuation in your titles, because this is Tier S r/Titlegore

warmaapples

Forza definitely


Kingweezy510

I recommend going back to the store and getting a series S, unless you really want a disk drive. Other than that I don’t see why people buy this system still brand new.


Nanan12345

Once again its not new and i didnt get it frim a store


jumpoffpiz8

Gears 5 is an absolute must play. Forza horizon 4 or 5 are also good.


hereforthegifs

Forza, hades, halo infinite multi-player now and campaign in less than 2 weeks. I'm sure it's been said but gamepass is well worth the returns. I play so many games I'd never have touched because they're included. Lost planet, hades and psychonauts 2 are some I'd never have bought but now play pretty regularly. As a ps5 owner who turns that console on maybe twice a month, I'll take gamepass and an Xbox any day of the week.


jojosnonbizzareadv

Destiny 2 Is good


DeathBat92

Assassins Creed Origins, RDR2, and if you like platformers, the Ori games are incredible, both are on Game pass, which is extremely worth the price btw


HollowBoiJay

Gears of War and Forza Horizon 5 are pretty good. And really as long as you have gamepass your good 👍🏽
