Xbox 360 Game

If you are an Xbox user or are looking to switch to it from your PlayStation, PC, or any other gaming device, then you should know that it has an altogether different experience from other consoles. Plus, things get even better when you have access to the Xbox Game Pass, which is specially provided by Microsoft for players who like to explore a wide range of new and exciting games every now and then.

This article covers everything you need to know about the Xbox Game Pass, as well as what it has to offer.

What is Xbox Game Pass?

The Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service for Xbox users, and it provides them with a wide range of games that they can download and play however long they want to. It is a paid service that is quite similar to the PlayStation Plus and EA Play services. When you fire up your Xbox console or log in to the Xbox store on your PC, you will find a special section for the Game Pass, where you can explore the free games it has to offer, as well

With the Xbox One X set to storm the world next month, Microsoft is gearing up their game library by releasing visual updates. Surprisingly, even some older Xbox 360 games available on the Xbox One X via backward compatibility are set to get the visual upgrade treatment.

According to Xbox, a number of Xbox 360 backward compatible games will be getting an upgrade to support a higher resolution, 9X the original pixel count, and expanded color details.

This upgrade allows to improve game visual quality without touching the game code in any way. It's called the Heutchy Method and "leverages the power of Xbox One X to let the Xbox 360 emulator present the very best version of the game possible with the existing assets--all without touching the game code."

The number of games to get upgraded visual support is quite limited so far. The Xbox 360 games available for an Xbox One X visual upgrade are Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Halo 3.

World of Tanks has been quietly rolling by on consoles and PC for quite some time now, but the developers for the game have been working on something in the meantime. That something has finally been released.

It has been confirmed that World of Tanks has received a brand new campaign mode called War Stories. The new expansion can be played either with a friend in co-op mode or on your own in single-player mode.

The new campaigns will be available for all players to play for free, but a number of 'storyteller' bundles will get released alongside each campaign.

So far, two campaigns have been released. Details for each of these campaigns have been provided below.

Brothers In Armor - Step into the shoes of a US tank commander training a Soviet crew to operate the infamous M4 Sherman in this tutorial campaign.

Flashpoint Berlin - Take command of Western forces and fight tooth and nail in the aftermath of the collapse of the

In the recent gun running update, Rockstar included some course code for a potentially hidden UFO mission. GTA modding group Team Guru has now uncoded the mission and have got it working.

So far, the mission cannot be played legitimately and it looks as if the mission is not yet completed. Rockstar may have plans to add the full mission in the future. For now, though, the uncompleted mission starts by showing players a gigantic crashed alien spaceship.

Near the spaceship crash is a small alien egg - players can pick up the egg. After this, a group of aliens appear, and players must work together to eliminate the aliens. Players must then drive the egg to their gun running bunker.

Aliens have been seen in Grand Theft Auto 5 before. In a mission in the story, Michael starts to hallucinate after taking drugs. During this mission, players take control of Michael to bring down waves of aliens. Some players have tried to decode an alien-themed mystery, known as the Chilliad

Like previous years, Rockstar has released a brand new GTA Online 4th July update. The update has now gone live for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and includes a number of July 4th items and a new game mode.

Rockstar has mentioned that the July 4th update includes unlockable in-game tees, new patriotic liveries, and much, much more.

This year, Rockstar has brought new American themed liveries to the mobile command center, as well as adding a number of other features that have been included in previous Independence day events.

Rockstar wrote on their blog, "Firework launchers, classic outfits, the Western Sovereign and the Liberator Monster Truck are all back through July 10, and 25% off their original price. Plus this year also brings patriotic new liveries for your Mobile Operation Center and Mk II weaponry to help you flaunt your love of country."

A number of discounts have been applied to GTA Online to mark the celebrations, too. Take a look at the different discounts

The year has only just started and Microsoft are already going crazy with their backwards compatibility lineup. In January so far, 10 more backwards compatible games have been made available to play on the Xbox One.

To begin with, a bundle of seven Xbox One compatible games were launched to the Xbox Games Store. This first bundle included both of the previously Xbox 360 exclusive Battlefield titles (Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3), as well as a number of other AAA and indie/arcade titles.

A little while after the initial 7 games were announced, 3 more titles were added to the backwards compatible games list. The additional three games were Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10 and Beat'n Groovy.

The full list includes the games listed below.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ($20; 4.88 GB)
Battlefield 3 (requires disc)
Dragon Age: Origins ($15; 6.44 GB)
Ghostbusters ($15: 6.18 GB)
Scrap Metal ($15; 130.06 MB)
The Splatters ($10; 505.95

Backwards compatibility on the Xbox One is a big thing for some gamers, but it doesn't come with its own little hiccups. Halo Reach has been available on the Xbox One via the backwards compatibility feature for a while now, but the performance for the game has been terrible.

Until now, players have struggled to play Halo Reach on the Xbox One without having juttery frames, freezes and crashes. Thankfully a brand new patch has been released for Halo Reach that has been designed to fix all the performance issues entirely.

The new update has been confirmed to help with frame rate on Halo Reach and from early tests it seems as if the game is now running as smooth as ever. Not only is Halo Reach on the Xbox One now working smoothly, but in some cases it has a higher frame rate than the original Xbox 360 version.

Now that we know that patches like this are possible for backwards compatible games, we wonder whether it'd ever be possible for a developer to revive a once-popular

It's finally happened. Red Dead Redemption is now available on the Xbox One via the backwards compatibility program. If you own an Xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption you'll now be able to play it on your Xbox One.

If you don't own it, you'll be able to purchase the Xbox 360 version digitally or alternatively you could pick up a cheap second hand physical copy online or at a local retailer. Surprisingly the Red Dead digital version is under $10 so either way you'll be able to get the game on your Xbox One for cheap.

Not only has Red Dead Redemption been added to the backwards compatibility version, but the previous DLC for the game has been released for free. Not all of the DLC content has been put up for free, but the vast majority of it has. This includes some single player content and all of the multiplayer content. The new free DLC includes the Legends and Killers Pack, the Myths and Mavericks Pack and the Liars and Cheats Pack. The Outlaws to the End co-op mission

There are a number of bonuses available in GTA Online that will remain available throughout the rest of the week. Rockstar has been placing weekly bonuses in GTA Online for the last few weeks and this week's worth of rewards will feature bonus GTA dollars and RP.

Running from March 4 through to March 10, all versus missions will reward players with double GTA$ and double RP. All players will be rewarded with double points, regardless of whether they win their games or not. If you're interested in the versus mode bonuses, you'll be able to quick join into the mode within the pause menu in GTA Online.

On top of the double bonuses for GTA Online's versus mode, players will also be able to save some money on a variety of content. Firstly, all flight school gear has been reduced by 50%. All combat helicopters, including the buzzard, have been temporarily reduced by 25% too. This is probably the area where you'll save the most amount of money, so if you plan to buy an attack chopper,
