Is it just me or is the Xbox typeface on the light theme really hard to read?

Also…

Shame.

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?

Wow… so I pushed a game installation to my Xbox via the mobile app and was able to have it installed and ready to go for the night. Loaded it up last night and was expecting to be presented with the “Do you own this game?” dialogue and be taken to the store. Instead, I just went straight into playing.

Anyone experienced something like this?

@GregRedd I beseech thee… can you (or anyone really) ever recall if Assetto Corsa Competizione is or was part of Games With Gold? Just trying to make sense of the above scenario.

Okay, I think I have figured it out. It just so happens it has entered as one of the “Free Play Days” titles.

Haha that’s a nice coincidence. Also it gives you some time to try it out!

Definitely! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
