It's fun seeing how bad games run on a One S, Art of Rally runs worse than the alpha build on pc 2 years ago.

I'm really enjoying The Ascent, unfortunately the new DLC for Valhalla has dropped so I'll be playing that for the foreseeable.

Sad that Art of Rally runs like dogshit on the S. I've got it at 120fps on my laptop and it's glorious. Yet to try it on the Series X though.

siroccojetprop do a console restart. That fixed it for me, but only temporarily- it happened again after I went to another game and back again

Just tried it on my Series X and it synced all my progress from PC and seemed to work OK. It was definitely bullshit the first time I ran it on PC though - endless loop, restarts, all sorts to get it running.

On the Series S it looks great, from the videos I've seen. Not sure how it fares on the last-gen consoles though. And the Switch version looks pretty shocking. |

Art of Rally didn't seem too bad to me? Not sure if it'll hold my attention that long…

It's a great game to zone out to, I'm finding. Already near the end of the Group 3 career rally events, bouncing between PC and Series X.

I’m addicted to it, have done a couple of days DIY this week but “rewarded” myself with a quick stage (or three) every couple of hours.
Any of the daily/weekly events have refused to load though, just never work- anyone else?

I've been enjoying Dodgeball Academia. It looks fantastic and the dodgeball fights are great fun. The sound design is clearly Pokémon influenced but that's no bad thing.

Playing The Ascent: the gameplay is good but the endless traversal and shitty fast travel system is wearing me down. I basically play it till I rage quit about having to go all the way across the map for the umpteenth time. Will finish the story and call it a day, good game pass game though I guess.

I found travel in The Ascent just takes too long. The game's... erm... "high friction". Very pretty, but I dropped it after a couple of hours.

With the ascent its nothing special apart from the graphics. The game play gets very stale, mediocre quests and the awful fast travel. The game is gamepass fodder (aka not actually great game but I have gamepass and glad I didn't buy it)

Art of Rally Daily worked for me yesterday- including the leaderboards- but Weekly still wouldn’t load.

What are good touch-based cloud games that I can play on my phone when I'm supposed to be working? I just default to Slay the Spire but kinda wanna mix it up.

I actually tried Gears 5 with touch controls today out of interest. I...I wouldn't recommend that one.
The golf game on there works pretty well for a pick up and play option. Not the greatest game in the world mind.

Out of all the Codemaster racing games now added to Gamepass, which ones are worth the download? There seem to be about half a dozen DIRT games alone.
