If I want a more involved session, I wang the Xbox on and play it on the big screen. On everything I own, all as part of the Game Pass functionality. Compare that to the PlayStation 4-to-PlayStation 5 pipeline (where I lost half my saved games and nearly ruined my hardware), and the difference is night and day. Here I am, using the PC version Vampire Survivors, the Cloud version, and the Xbox version – and I haven’t paid a penny for it. Then, when I wanted to play the game on the train on the way to my other partner’s house, I downloaded the game on my laptop. I am not kidding when I say: I can't put it down.Īnd you know the best thing? When I went back to my office to play the game when I should have been working (sorry, boss), it was all there: all of my upgrades, all of my characters, all of my progress… it just all transferred itself magically over to my Xbox Series X. I don’t think I really took in the impact of Diana setting fire to the royal system in The Crown I was too focused on making sure my clock lancet was leveled-up enough to survive a minute against the Reaper in the Bone Zone. I don’t think I was really paying attention to who won Bake Off I was too involved with making sure Poppea would be able to evolve her weapons when I killed the next boss. “Don’t forget, Dom,” it said (I’m paraphrasing), “that you can play whenever and wherever you like! Sitting on the bog? In the queue at Asda? Enduring another anecdote from your most milquetoast friend? Download the Xbox Game Pass app now, and play wherever you wish.” You know what I did next? I downloaded the Xbox Game Pass app, and since then, I’ve been playing wherever I wish. But how the hell am I supposed to get all my Shit To Do done and also tick off all 1200G of Vampire Survivors in a week? How can I make sure I’m blasting through the game and unlocking all the characters whilst seeing who wins this series of Bake Off? I didn’t think there was a clean solution… until Xbox itself sent a push notification to my phone. I have Shit To Do: socialising with my partner, walking the dog, seeing friends.
So I can’t just sit in my pants, dip bread in anything runnier than bread, drink beer, and play games all night. I am not kidding when I say: I can't put it down.īut I’m also 30, and live with my partner, and have responsibilities.
