Will PSO2 New Genesis be exclusive to Xbox?

At least timed, the original one still is after a full year I think.

Is this the game @Doncabesa was hinting about the other day?

I’m vaguely aware of the devs getting screwed on this game somehow, has that been resolved? Something about the publisher strong-arming them and delisting from stores?

Yes. I think it was delisted on Steam and still is. You can buy it on Xbox though, it is published by the original developpers, Frogwares. Nacon was the company that tried to sell the game for their own profit.

Also, be aware people, there’s two SKUs for the game with two editions (same as original game). It seems like it doesn’t take advantage of Smart Delivery.

For some reason I am not able to purchase Wasteland 3: The Battle for Steeltown, thought it was already made available to purchase :frowning:

Isn’t this the expansion that releases in June?

Yeah, but as far as I know, it was already up for pre-order.

Maybe you should wait and see if they add it to Game Pass Ultimate. Probably not because it’s Embracer Group behind the publishing but you never know.

I don’t really care if that ends up being the case, I want to support inXile, they are really good at these isometric strategy RPGs and I hope they continue doing them in the future.

In fact, even though I like seeing this team grow, I am one of those people that will be a little bit sad if they transition to a 3rd person AAA real time RPG instead of continuing doing amazing strategy games, aha.
