Very possible. I’ve left the console off all day, in an unplugged state.

I am still battling to find a place where I can view all my Xbox screenshots, apart from viewing them on the Xbox mobile app.

Edit: nevermind, seems this policy changed a little while ago.

Play XBOX Bingo at the press conference :wink:

Only thing I really want to hear is “Surprise! The new Forza Motorsport releases right now!” but I’ll settle for a good few “Coming to Game Pass on launch!” mentions.

Oh man, I loved Super Off Road as a kid. Having people gathered around one keyboard to play that became quite entertaining.

I think someone around here in some thread mentioned something quite similar in nature, but obviously updated and recent?
