Valheim - Xbox / Steam crossplay
As spoken about previously, Valheim, a game that was close to $30 AUD on Steam, was available on the Xbox PC Game Pass, which I used to join the ValHive server. However, if you are wanting to play a bit outside the server with friends who have played the game before, chances are they are all on the Steam version because it was not available on the Game Pass until recently. It took my friend (very experienced Valheim player) and I a while to figure out how the crossplay works, as they are used to friends' worlds appearing automatically if they are friends on Steam - this method is different for Xbox and Steam crossplay. Watch the video to see how to play with a Steam friend if you are on Xbox Game Pass or vice versa!
Assassin's Creed - How to Synchronize?
Hey guys. As you are aware I've been playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey because it is free on the Xbox Game Pass. The world map is a huge place so it gets a bit tiring if you have to ride the horse everywhere. I saw this bird icon where you seem to be able to fast travel to them, except you have to "synchronize" the location first. I wasn't quite sure what synchronize meant, and after I arrived at the location (in this case the big Zeus statue) I still couldn't figure out how to synchronize. It turns out that I had to climb right to the top of the statue to synchronize. Coming down from the top of the statue is also a bit of a problem as it is a very big statue so you don't really want to jump down - have to learn how to climb down safely..
