I keep hearing about this game. I guess I'll check it out when it lands.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

I will try it out Day One

 

[cormack12]

That's a big get.

 

[Zoro7]

Game of the year contender.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Wow! Imagine the cock on Phil!

Xbox it is!

 

[Andodalf]

The best deal in gaming

Just


Got


Better

 

[TheKingSalami]

 

[Karak]

Finally. So tired of dancing around it.

Wish the game was better but as a get during a dead month its good times

 

[Stuart360]

 

[Jimmyisback]

Jesus fucking christ. This is too much.

 

[CatLady]

Awesome news! It's a great day to be a Series X owner. Xbox and Game Pass just keeps getting better and better.

 

[Banjo64]

This can’t be right because I read in GAF that no third parties release day one on GP

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

Guess I'll try it

 

[VN1X]

Was playing the demo for the second time just now to try out the Devastator class and had a ton of fun. I honestly think people will be pleasantly surprised by this game and even those who initially wrote it off should definitely give it another go (especially for the price of 'free'). It's just such a silly and over-the-top power fantasy type game. Smashing fools down from the sky by torpedoing yourself into the ground never gets old lol (sorry Trickster we've had a few laughs but Devastator is my new friend now). Also some of the cutscenes are actually hilarious:




Can't wait for the full game.

 

[Revolutionary]

Outriders will be available on Console and Android phones and tablets

...not PC?

 

[DaGwaphics]

So it is exclusive to console/cloud as expected.

Big get.

 

[Rikkori]

Nice. Was going to buy it, so GPU basically paid for itself - again.

Fuck, nvm, I'm on PC.

 

[AgentP]

6/10 confirmed

 

[Mr Moose]

Nice, great news for the 5 people interested in it, more people will get to try it now which is good for the game.
I didn't know it was a Square-Enix game until a few days ago lol.

 

[Stuart360]

It doesnt mention PC, fuck....

 

[a multicultural team of v]

...not PC?

Don't you have a phone?

 

[Chessmate]

Do you guys know if Phil Spencer is already married?

 

[MiguelItUp]

I honestly thought the demo was pretty shallow. Boring characters and story, and a mish-mash of gameplay that we've experienced many times before. Maybe even better back then. The end result felt more like a AA game as opposed to a AAA one.

That being said, with it being on Game Pass I'll definitely give it another shot.

This is the first wild day 1 get we've seen on Game Pass so far eh? The only other one I can think of is The Outer Worlds.

 

[pasterpl]

Nice, will save £50 to test if I like it (wasnt interested in the demo)

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

Game of the year contender.

what a weak year then.

 

[BigLee74]

Too many games. Too many games.

 

[nikos]

Not on PC, which is disappointing, but still a good pickup. Still going to buy it on PC even though I have a Series X.

 

[ultrazilla]

Clarifying that this *WILL* be on PC as it says Gamepass Ultimate, correct?

 

[RiccochetJ]

Sweet! I really enjoyed the demo and had it pre-ordered. I'll cancel that and just dive in w/ gamepass.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

To the surprise of no one who is even mildly proficient in English

 

[DaGwaphics]

It doesnt mention PC, fuck....

Cloud should open up to to PC browser soon enough. Since you are an avid PC gamer, I'm sure the opportunity to play via streaming is exciting for you.

 

[Nikana]

Color me surprised. Someone serve me the crow. Can I at least out some bbq on it?

 

[Stuart360]

Clarifying that this *WILL* be on PC as it says Gamepass Ultimate, correct?

Sounds like it, but i just have standard PC Gamepass.
Thanks Phil.

 

[Nikana]

Clarifying that this *WILL* be on PC as it says Gamepass Ultimate, correct?

That's not what GPU means. Ultimate just means you have both pc and console, gold and cloud. It specifically says cloud. I think it'll be cloud and console only

 

[tpieman2029]

I like People Can Fly. Judgement is actually my second favorite Gears of War game. I hope this game breaks out for them.

 

[48086]

This is interesting. It looks like MS has figured out a way to distinguish the Series X from a PC (at least in my mind). Up until this point, I didn't really see a major reason to get a Series X while having a decent PC. The reason is "exclusive" games on Game Pass for console. That plus the convivence factor of console gaming might actually tip the scales into me purchasing a Series X.

 

[Stuart360]

Cloud should open up to to PC browser soon enough. Since you are an avid PC gamer, I'm sure the opportunity to play via streaming is exciting for you.

 

[DaGwaphics]

The games available on PC/Xbox/Cloud are different regardless of what level of the service you have. RDR2 was available only on console for example. It sounds like this one is Xbox/Cloud.

 

[THE DUCK]

In before "gamepass is not sustainable" and "this game sucks" comments designed to minimize the value of gamepass......

 

[Strider Highwind]

I'll be playing now that i get it on GP lol

 

[Revolutionary]

Clarifying that this *WILL* be on PC as it says Gamepass Ultimate, correct?

It specifically says console and phone with no mention of PC, unfortunately. Disappointed but I was planning on buying it anyway, so whatever.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the PC version isn't included in the deal because it's already doing quite well on Steam (it's been a Top Seller since the demo came out). Or maybe it's simply exclusive to Steam.

 

[Banjo64]

What game MS actually launch day one this holiday on Gamepass.
BTW I believe these games you listed are old... at leas DQ and Among Us are very old.

That is his point right now Gamepass give you old games... the same can be said about PS Plus Collection and PSNow.

If you want to play new games you need to buy them no matter the console right now.

ethomaz - new enough for you?

Shame Knitted Night has been banned - he had a hilariously shit take on Game Pass too.

 

[Concern]

Had no interest but now i may give it a shot.

More "filler" games right?

 

[Stuart360]

I have to admit, i said the other day that this would surprise me with how well the game has been selling on Steam since the pre-orders went up. Still sucks though for us PC subs.

 

[ultrazilla]

Awe man, that sucks. Thanks everyone for the clarification on the PC.

 

[pasterpl]

Who was that forum user who looked for cheapest deal on any game to show that gp is not really a good value?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Sweet. Thanks to all PS gamers who will buy the game, so SE will do a secondary strategy of GP revenue for Xbox gamers.

Nice game to add to the library. And to think many of us did the $1 upgrade for 3 years. lol

 

[FrozenFlame]

I’m thrilled to announce that Outriders will be available on Console and Android phones and tablets via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass on day one!

Where's the pc_outside_window_rain.gif when you need it?

 

[Trogdor1123]

I literally know nothing about this game...
