Wasn’t there an Xbox emulation thread?

Everything EA releases is a rip-off. I saw those "deals" on the store a few days ago and just shook my head in disbelief.

Halo should be much lower.

I switched mine to shut down a few months back.

After the system update it's no more than 15 seconds to load up and connect online.
 
So games don't download updates if the Xbox is off in an effort to save energy. Isn't that counter productive? So now when I have a huge 60gb update for call of duty, I need to leave my Xbox on in full power mode for the entire update. Wouldn't that use MORE power? Especially if you have a lot of games that get frequent updates. Doesn't make any sense to me
 
They updated it so they could dl even when powered down while before you needed to have it on quick start up to dl updates when switched off.

That is how it was before the update.
 

Paradox Interactive and Xbox together for an event with lots of announcements​


n March 6, 2023 at 18:00 Italian time, Paradox Interactive will hold a presentation event of his new games, in collaboration with Xboxes. Which suggests the arrival of most of the titles announced on the Xbox Game Pass (for now, however, there is no confirmation).

Three new games and four expansions for titles already on the market will be presented during the event. Anyone who wants can follow him on Paradox’s YouTube and Twitch channels.

The announced games are developed by Colossal Order (Cities: Skylines), Harebrained Schemes (Shadowrun Trilogy, Battletech) and Paradox Tectonic, a new studio headed by veteran Rod Humble. Among the titles whose expansions will be announced, Crusader Kings III and Europa Universalis IV stand out.

Fredrik Wester, the CEO of Paradox Interactive, said about the event: “I don’t mean we have too many announcements to make, but it’s hard to decide which one excites me the most.” Wester also referred to the joy of being able to communicate directly with the community and not having to keep announcements a secret for much longer.

Of course, the collaboration with Xbox is also interesting, which certainly opens up the hypothesis of announcements relating to the Microsoft ecosystem, in particular to the aforementioned Xbox Game Pass.
