Does anything on this site help? https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/help/hardware-network/controller/wireless-controller-solution#:~:text=Many controller issues can be,turn the controller back on.

 

Could also try chatting with Xbox support. I know they've been pretty good any time I've needed assistance. Worst case, you could probably get a cheap Xbox One controller, as those work with the XSX console.

So the solution turned out being unplug the xbox and plug it back in. I'm not going to question it I'm just going to be happy I didn't have to buy a new controller

That is surprising the fix to a bunch of things.

Anybody tried Scorn yet? 

Played it for half an hour wandering aimlessly and pressing things at random. No idea what I need to do. 

[DFF]

Not played it, but watched a gameplay trailer and it looks like... the slowest shooter known to man?

No no. That would be Gears of War.

I mean, this looked slower...

I think Scorn is meant to be more of an adventure/puzzle game than an action shooter.

Persona 5 Royal is now out on Gamepass. If you have even a slight interest in JRPGs, you gotta play it.

I have it downloaded and ready to go. Might be able to play some tonight.

I really have no idea what to expect - all I know is that it is very aesthetically pleasing.

Highschool life sim + great JRPG/dungeon crawling + demon collecting + amazing soundtrack.

And occasionally worrying content.

Age of Empires II and IV are coming to Xbox consoles. I wonder how they could make it accessible to controller users.

[FLiam]

How long does Persona 5 hold your hand for? I’ve been playing for about 2-3 hours now and it doesn’t really feel like I’m actually in control of anything yet, just moving the story along by doing what I’m told.

[Bobfoc]

Return to Monkey Island is coming to Game Pass next week. I've never known something join the service so soon after release, but not on the release day itself.

[Bobfoc]

It's nice to see Pentiment reviewing so well. I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow.

[Baddar]

The Series S is £190 in time for Black Friday.

Oh. I might actually get this deal. Thank you for pointing it out. 

Between this and a Switch at the moment. Will have to see soon what I fancy going with on the day of purchase.

LEGO game lovers rejoice - they're teasing on Twitter that the Skywalker Saga is coming to Gamepass next month, and the official LEGO account replied to their tweet as well.

I'm assuming it's the Skywalker Saga, because putting the older LEGO Star Wars games on there would be weird. But I wouldn't be mad at it either.

Great news. I tried to play it on my laptop but it started making the sound of a Tie fighter trying to run it.
