Starting with the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X bundle, Xbox consoles that come with games will no longer give codes, but instead will have the included games pre-loaded on the console through the Xbox Digital Direct program. Essentially, when you boot up the console for the first time it’ll have you sign into your Xbox Live account and the included games will become tied to that account. Once it’s been claimed, you’re unable to redeem on another account.

Mr. Moody @MrGloriousOne: Things are crazy right now & hearing your podcast is a great distraction, thank you to you both. My question is there any feel good games out there you would recommend to your listeners. Please be safe during these time.

Darren Michael@HaloKitty343: What’s a former dashboard feature that should return and what’s one you want? Mine? Return 360’s option that auto inverted my shooters. And they need to combine rewards app and Game Pass quests. Separating them makes no sense and current location of quests is awful. #BLM

Todd oxtra @toxtra - What franchise relaunch on Xbox Series X would blow off your tuke? Voodoo Vince, Brute Force, Banjo, Mech Assault, Crimson Skies or something else?

HP @BobLoblaw574 - Seeing that Dreamcast and GameCube behind you made me wonder. What are your favorite non-Xbox consoles? I know it's a little off topic but I'm curious.

Mr. Moody @MrGloriousOne - Indie games have been some of the best games this generation! Are there any 2020 Indies games that have stood out for you so far?

Seumas MacIsaac @FamousSeumas - With Mafia 2 and 3 Definitive Edition coming out today and anyone who already owns either games already can get all the DLC for free, what games do you think should have gotten an definitive edition with graphical improvements, better controls, all the DLCs etc.

The CaNERDian @The_CaNERDian - What’s the worst game you’ve ever played that you enjoyed for some reason? Doesn’t have to be Xbox, but you get bonus points if it is, I guess? BAAAAAAW!

todd oxtra @toxtra Everyone seems confident in playground games is going to develop the next Fable, but what makes an arcade racing team capable of excelling at a charming character based action RPG? The game mechanics, storytelling and fantastic lands/creatures seem like a big challenge.Plugs:
