    I think we had every Quest before except the Outlast one. Thats weird, considering the amount of Games in Game Pass
    Hollywood Tony Yeah

    @Hollywood_Tony A Human still needs to oversee the program (add quests, etc), and I imagine there is some amount of coding and tracking that needs to be done on the Xbox side to get things to track (telling the Quest system to look for X kills in a game, or walking a specific distance), which could involve reaching out to developers. Both cost Time & Money for a feature that ultimately is free reward points, so they're probably gonna cheap out and recycle some quests. We just happen to get a lot of overlap this month.

    I'm just glad they're all mostly quick ones this time. No randomness like "Get X kills in PUBG"

    Hmmmm, the Max quest isn't completing for me after drawing five objects. I feel like these quests reliably worked up until a couple of months ago, then things started going on the fritz.

    EDIT: Popped on its own after about a half hour.

    Anybody else having trouble with the Game pass on the go quest? I can't get the games to download from the app. It just keeps erroring out.

    @Scottish_Sin - this may not be it, but check and make sure the xbox is on, or at least in standby mode (I think)

    It’s day one of release. Relax, for most of these quests you have a whole month to complete them!

    Try going to the settings on your Xbox, and if the Remote Features is enabled, try disabling/enabling again. Used to work for me when I had this problem (didn't have it recently because in the higher rings of insider updates, it disables itself after every update).

    Yes. This is at least the second time Max: The Curse of Brotherhood has made an appearance.

    Everyone's talking about the Max one, but we literally just had the Psychonauts 2 one last week (or was it the week before).

    Fair enough, although the Max one is the starred (Ultimate GP) one this time... :/

    Fine by me - these are easy points.
    Looking for a place to happen, making stops along the way.

    I had to see the list twice to be certain this wan't the previous list of september. I don't have a problem with recycling, just wondering if they don't care about this reward system.

    I haven’t been able to complete this quest for the last ~ 6 months so thanks for the suggestion. I’ll give it a go then update...

    All this time I thought every quest required XGPU.

    A Back4Blood no challenge got added. Earn 3 achievements for 150 points.

    Think I'll pass on that one personally but it's out there for anyone who wants it.
