That news was pretty much welcome and a big surprise. Glad to see that Tango is back and that they can now expand on Hi-Fi Rush! Lets hope that things go well for them.
Anyway, have any of you been playing the Xbox alongside the Switch? I have found myself gaming on Xbox way more frequently before I get busier soon. I've still been playing the heck out of Rare Replay, and I got to a big achievement number on there! I am a bit far away from getting 100%, I think I have 98 achievements left, but I am already happy with the progress I have made on there. I am super satisfied with the progress, mostly cuz a lot of them came from super annoying and infuriating short challenges called snapshots. The snapshots for Underwurlde were awful, maybe the worst game included in that package, but hey, it was super satisfying to get achievements from that joyless experience of a game! I am close to filling out a stamp card, so I am very close to unlocking some more videos and content in the game. I'll try to see if I can get a newer, upgraded stamp card soon. The extras included alongside the games are super interesting.
I am considering getting the $1.00 Ultimate for 14 days deal, but I don't know when I'll get it, and I don't know how frequently I'd use it in those two weeks. I love Game Pass and think it has good value, but those price hikes are a no from me unfortunately.
Started Avowed tonight and I am loving it. Its everything that I wanted Skyrim to be. Its just shows what Bethesda can do Obsidian can do better.
Currently I am trying a dual wield sword an axe build with an arquebus as my second load out. This game is alot of fun and is gorgeous looking. I am really enjoying the senese of exploration and the combat is top notch. I will be putting alot of hours into this game.

Out of curiosity, I looked at the list of best selling Xbox One games recently. I was stunned to find out it has half as many million+ selling games as the Gamecube. That's insane to me, especially since Xbox One far outsold the Gamecube. Gamepass is wild.
Even though the ROG Xbox Ally / ROG Xbox Ally X are still happening, reports are that development on the dedicated Xbox handheld have stalled out. Windows is so resource-heavy and poorly optimized for a handheld platform that MS are forced to solve that hurdle before proceeding with their own portable hardware.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,529 games (as of November 20th, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 3 games (as of November 23rd, 2025)
@kkslider5552000 Yeah they seriously suck. Record profits and they shut down studios and lay off thousands. It's getting to the point where I seriously have to question the morals of Xbox fans for supporting the brand.
I love playing on my Xbox, but I dont think I'll be buying anymore games. Just play on GP until it gets to be too expensive then I'll drop the service.
It is sad to see the Xbox brand be squandered, but the one positive is it may lead to more games on Switch 2. If I looked into the future 15 years ago and saw Gears and Halo on a Nintendo console I wouldn’t believe it, but it seems likely now.
I would love to see XBOX and XBOX 360 games on Nintendo Switch Online. I play a lot of retro games, and I have my XBOX 360 still but I generally only have two active consoles at a time (currently Switch 2 and PS5), and playing older consoles is a rare brief novelty.
@NintendoByNature I downgrade myself from Ultimate to Premium. I couldn't justify paying $10 just for Ubisoft+, one I pretty much own everything they were adding to GP like the AC games and two after what Ubisoft did to XDefiant I wont support them. I will lost out on EA but after this week's news with them selling out to Saudi Arabia I wont support them either.
So by downgrading I will be saving myself $5 a month going from 19.99 to 14.99 and pretty much will still have what I had minus EA games.
