Maybe look outside of the big franchisees? State of Decay is pretty original so is No Mans Sky, Elite Dangerous and Void bds. Depends what you are looking for but the choice nowadays is insane. Online shooters will just be online shooters.

How on earth do I install my Series X version of Fifa 21?

There's a Series X 'tile' for it, which I install, but its only 280mb.
When launched, it takes me to a store page.

Delivered and set up, it's installing stuff now. The power cable is a bit short, it would be tight to put it on my TV unit on the opposite side from the plugs, where I made the space for it this morning hehe . It's a heavy thing, maybe it seems heavy because it's all packed in and dense. Setup with my profile worked using the phone app. That's it for now.

Network transfer is a bit st sadly. It caps at 90mbs and crashes my router taking the broadband down with it. Probably my cheap tp link router if anyone else has had success using it?

What brand of router do you have? My isp provides some poor tp link router which I imagine is the issue then!

My friend says his network transfer isn't working either.
Ive already transferred my games to an external SSD, I presume this will be ok.

Capped at 100mb with 2 cables I dug out. Cat 5e so should be good for 1000mb/s.

Router says good for 300mb but no joy. Not like it matters if the enhanced games all have giant updates to do anyway!

Up and running with Valhalla

Coming from non 4k it's definitely a step up but also the 60fps is lush, everything super smooth, super detailed, very happy

Now to be a Viking until Bake Off
