Bizarrely enough I've been unbanned from rewards. It just suddenly started working after 5ish years of not. Support never could tell me why I was banned, which wound me up no end. All's well that ends well I suppose.
Would've been nice if it happened when I was actively playing something on my Xbox instead of having FF XVI on the go...

STILL playing Grounded.
Completed the main story a couple of weeks ago, but loaded an old save and going for 100% completion. Just got the Mantis, Wasp Queen and Mouldy Hoagie to kill. Still a fantastic game and no matter how many hours in I am, I regularly keep finding new stuff, like, discovered my first moth the other day and it absolutely mullered me.

I’ve got the auto redeem on for 1 month of GPU with rewards so hopefully that still works. Gonna be annoying if they stop the redemption of game pass as I’ve yet to pay for it since doing the conversion in 2019. Still got another 3 years yet tho

Actually got enough points for two months last time, so I’m currently good until the end of September. Hope they don’t pull the offer.

Auto redeem for the 1 month game pass still worked as per usual. I can’t see it anywhere as an option now though.

GP Ultimate is back as a rewards points redeem option. Maybe they pulled it as an offer then changed their mind.

Seems like the cheap one month trial has been reduced to a cheap 14 days trial.
On the plus side, it looks like I can actually get it again. I couldn't get the one month trials anymore because I had already used it in the past, but now I see the 14 days trial for cheap. Same for the PC version, so that's technically another 14+14 days I can use for whenever something interesting comes out.

Found when I renewed my son's GamePassUltimate last night that the XBL months were converted 1:1 as GPU months.
I thought that the ratio had changed recently?
So he has 2yrs GPU for £60ish. Not bad since it is £12.99 a month rrp.
Slightly narked as he might not get to use it so much 2024/2025 as he is on a year out from Uni... could have topped mine up with that 2nd year of XBL I purchased.

It's definitely supposed to have changed, (says as much on the Xbox site), 2 years of Gold should have got you 16 months worth of Ultimate at a 3:2 ratio.
Don't actually know of anyone who's tried it since the news broke mind you.
Result either way!

So, I’ve got a twelve month code and, I think, a three month. Gamepass ran out last month. It’s all changing over in September, no? I should load those up and attempt the £1 trick ahead of time in case I can take advantage of whatever carry over the new system starts with?

Renewed my own GP just yesterday.
Bought 2 years XBLG from CDKeys - came as 8 x 3 months.
Activated them on my PC and then converted using the £1.99 for 1 month GPU option.
Unlike my son's GP for console I did suffer a conversion so 2 years XBLG is now GPU until Jan 2025. Still, not bad for about £60.

Mine is up in April and I'm not fussed with the downgrade, its not as cheap but still works well for my PC and Xbox use.

I just did *THE TRICK* conversion now. Remarkably, the code i mention above, from years ago was still considered valid, then bunged a couple more on top. Didn’t get offered the month for £1 unfortunately, but paying regular price for the first month converted all the gold in a 2/3 ratio (had 30 months, now have 20 Ultimate). That’ll do, not impressed with Xbox this generation but I can look at Starfield in all of it’s not 60fps glory and play Forza.

Didn't the £1 offer get changed to friend invites, I see it in the app to give people it.

yeah, gave it a bit of a go, tempted to change the default controls so left stick controls pitch and roll and right stick strafes and controls thrust (assuming it lets me)

Everspace 2 is interesting me. Can you do first person view for piloting your ship or is it always 3rd person?

seems to be third person only

Is it still a roguelike like the first one?

Is it still a roguelike like the first one? No, thats all gone (they do explain it in the story) its standard space shooter with crafting and RPG like stats for weapons/armour etc

Hopefully, some kind of trick conversion will still work in January, when I'm due to renew; even 2/3 is better than paying in full...

I found them OK, but only because of the locked external camera. You're basically controlling DoomGuy in space. Stuck an hour or so into it this morning on a whim, and found it enjoyable enough. I noped out at all the RPG and loot stuff though - don't have room in my brain for another one of these whilst Diablo 4 is in the rotation. Visuals are nice, controls were responsive, the whole thing is very smooth indeed. I'll come back to it for sure, if it doesn't leave GP first.

There is option B which is more space shooter (they label the controls scheme as FPS and spaceshooter)
the amount of crap you need to pick up to upgrade your perks and crafting is OTT. I don't mind the amount of weapons and ship parts eg armour, missles you get. Its not a bad game but it wil quickly be forgotten when stafield comes out
