Do Forza allow say 20 + players to join 1 game?


I remember Toca on the original Xbox I had went online and you could have big numbers playing. A lot of fun and as you all remember Toca was such a great game.

Toca was superb! Codemasters are still developing games, they make the F1 and Dirt series, bloody good at it too.

Forza Motorsport 7 allows for up to 24 on the grid I think...

Forza Motorspot 7 is, as it is an Xbox exclusive. Dirt 2.0 Rally, Dirt 4 and F1 2019 are there. F1 2020 nothing has been announced so far for Game Pass.

Full list is here - https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-game-pass/games#

It is worth mentioning, the only games that will stay on Game Pass permanently are the Xbox exclusives (Forza, Halo, Gears of War etc.). Third party titles are removed from time to time.

F1 2019 only recently went onto GP and they removed F1 2018 at the same time, so likely it will change again once the next game comes out.

I am curious, do you think with current climate (COVID) we will see the digital consoles cheaper than console with disc, so we can download from the house, rather than having to go out and buy a game?

Who goes out to buy a game it’s Amazon game or another online and it’s delivered.

But yes games consoles is a great way to play with mates and family you otherwise couldn’t with covid.

Actually think the new model will finally kill off stores like "Game" just like blockbuster died when Netflix etc came along

At present it looks like you’ll only able to get Xbox All Access via Game or Smyths Toys.

Austin Evans unboxing non functional devices:
- Series S - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcop0L-_CX0&ab...
- Series X - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0R1i6l1Rs&ab...

I'm undecided having watched the video. The X is pretty chunky, and given how rarely I game now and the fact that the gaming room only has a 1080p, maybe the S is the one for me. I suppose the man-maths argument for spending the extra £150 is to have the slightly larger SSD (in addition to a stronger GPU and drive).

Unbox Therapy with dummy units too. Series S is about half the size of an original shape PS4

i like unbox therapy but come on that is pointless.

I don't think the X is going to fit in my gaming hole. Ahem.

Any dimensions anywhere?

I’m concerned I’m not going to accommodate this in my hole too

Yes. Google says 15.1cm x 15.1cm x 30.1cm

You're welcome

Hmm that's a problem.

3 or even 5 m HDMI cable dude you could even have the console in one room TV in another.

Xbox box:

My PC is just about done in terms of running modern games. It needs a hefty overhaul and I cant see me getting much change out of £1k.

I think i'll be going down the Series X route and keeping the PC for sim racing with the wheel.

And you’ll only be spending £26-28pcm 0% plus it’s discounted too over outright buy. Well played MS.

It’s a frankly obscene deal

Never in a million years did I consider gaming next gen could be so cheap.

It’s totally swayed me over. I was teetering on going PlayStation this time having had every Xbox and no PlayStations since the 2nd one.

Firmly with the series x right now.

I’m actually considering —- both! Assuming similar pricing / selling option makes a lot of sense + 8 year min life peanuts.

I've just looked through the Xbox page about the monthly payment option. What happens to your existing game pass credit if you go for the monthly payments?
