• Need to make available for the XBOX ONE...!!!!????

• Really wish age of empires 2 was on xbox one. You would think the 'worlds most powerful console' would be able to handle a 20 year old game. It really is disappointing to hear all these cool announcements but know i will never be able to play them.

• Oh and please make these games demand less specs and run smoothly on old PCs

• Oh and I live in Pakistan when we buy games they are cracked and we cannot access the multiplayer because it is cracked what should we do I mean we payed for it ~_~

  • You didn't pay the developer, you payed a hacker presumably because you either can't afford, or you don't think the game is worth the real price. I don't know what you expect exactly. You can't really file a complaint for a stolen game.

• Bro the only thing AOE needs is new ages new units and also add new campaigns 'So Please'. ~_~

• Bring all AOE to Game Pass Please and URGENT guys hehe

• Is Age of Empires going to be available on xbox one in a near future?

• I wish we (pre-orderers) can get closed beta invitations. I was AoE:DE beta tester on Microsoft Store, and I just saw beta threads (because I was so busy at work) and I think I am late to the party which makes me sad.

• I love all Ages very much.It's players' young!!!!!Great for it
