Or maybe something else! What are you hyped for?
I’m definitely cautiously optimistic for starfield, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too high.
In general I’m excited by how many unknown but potentially interesting games that will come to the game pass. There were a couple of games that looked interesting in the xbox showcase but that I probably wouldn’t want to pay for, but if they are in the game pass I’ll definitely try them.
