Black Ops 6 and Indiana Jones released in this measured quarter. Mainly COD pulling these numbers up.
30% is huge though. I think with game pass, keeping those subscribers means adding more high quality games at a good cadence. Doom the dark ages, Avowed, Fable releasing this year might be a part of this strategy.
This year is already looking crazy good. Citizen Sleeper 2, the surprise drop of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Ninja Gaiden 4 day one, O.G. Diablo... The hits just keep coming.
I had a game pass sub a couple of years ago and quit it because the games that I wanted to play quickly ran out. I had a sub for a month until a few days ago and I must say game pass is in a way better place than it used to be.
Nine Sols, Kunitsu Gami, Cocoon, Chants of Senaar and black ops 6 campaign were all unexpectedly good experiences.
I'm loving doing eternal on my new 3070. But not from game pass though.
How good does Doom run! It is incredibly well optimised. My steam deck was getting a solid 60fps on medium settings from memory.
Maxed out, 60 fps. I like vsync when the card is good enough, so it's locked there. Buttery smooth, I just suck and run out of ammo all the time lol
Just asking why for the vsync? I got a new PC last fall and have only used freesync going forward. I wasn't aware there was still a reason to vsync ever again if you had the option to do so.
No idea, I don't know what freesync is, I turned on vsync and it was super smooth, didn't look past that.
I don't game a lot, just wanted to play a few newer titles.
Ahhh, my bad. I figured you were talking about freesync (AMD) or g-sync (Nvidea) options, which allows you to get the benefit of vsync without using as many resources to power it. Your monitor and gpu have to support it before it can be enabled. I was like, how is this bad haha!?
No you're good. I never used the vsync before because I felt like it always made my movements too slow but now with a better graphics card and a better monitor it's super smooth and accurate and I really like it
I upgraded from a 1070 and a 1080p basic monitor. I now have dual 1440p asus IPS monitors and the 3070, so huge upgrade, about a decades worth of technology
I don't think Fable is releasing this year, they've still shown barely anything and it was missing entirely from their recent developer direct of high profile 2025 games.
Oh, I thought Fable was getting released sometime later this year. Google suggests as much.
Games have short marketing cycles these days, so it's not much of an indicator for when it's due to release. Perfect Dark wasn't there either, and I think both are allegedly slated for this year.
