What AAA titles should Xbox try and get on Game Pass for the First Half of 2022?

With Elden Ring day 1, right?

lol nah it’s not going to happen but it would ignite this thread to oblivion if it happened.

i thought this thread built on new big Games from 3P and no new big Games from MS in next 6 months ?

The thread claims a Game Pass drought in H1 2022 when we don’t know what games are hitting Game Pass in H1 2022. It was premature to think Game Pass wouldn’t see meaningful releases when we know they many of them are not announced far in advance.

The OP says that the “drought is real” and “Game Pass needs games that aren’t co-op shooters” and now we have Hitman 1-3 a day later which is entirely predictable.

It’s definitely a good addition! I think the first two, or at least one of them allready has been on the service though. Doesn’t matter, Hitman 3 is exactly the kind of games we need, like I said earlier in the thread even though people can’t read and/or construct their own versions of events.

This is not a “gotcha!” moment, I think we all agree this is part of whats needed.

this wording is false, it is not “real”. It is possible if they don’t add things in. They always add things in, though. I’ve linked a spreadsheet to every single game ever on the service and the “they need some big games” talk is covered by the fact that they always have put big games into the service over the past 3 years.

That is why the thread exists, spun off from the STALKER 2-thread, but some people pretends it is about something else for some reason.

I can link a thread that already exists for that.

Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

I’ve played 2 or 3 hours into Olija and it seems interesting. The combat is a bit simple, but its effective enough that I haven’t really got bored with it yet. The game does a good job in tone and atmosphere to make it feel like you’re in some mysterious, foreign place. This along with the story made it really feel like there’s some kind of inspiration behind the game. So I looked around a bit and found that one of the inspirations are “Out of this World,” and the other is the developers (Named…

This thread is built on a faulty premise because it implied that Game Pass was due for a significant drought because Xbox hadn’t announced their entire slate for the next 6 months. Games pop up on the service all the time, and a majority of games are not announced until days ot weeks before they release.

If you want to argue about day one games that are on the level of Elden Ring that’s a different story, but again we simply cannot predict the future.

Honestly this thread should be locked.

Game Pass has a history of adding games nearly weekly and the majority of the time will not announce games until a few days or weeks before it releases. You simply cannot make a good argument that the first half of Xbox’s Game Pass slate is dry or weak because there’s no way to prove that’s the case. Ever since this forum started to complain about a “dry spell” they’ve added R6 Extraction and Hitman Trilogy.

These threads are good because they keep the main from devolving into this discussion.

@Doncabesa

Oh, I agree this discussion could very well have been kept in that thread. That has nothing to do with what the topic of this thread is or isn’t though.

[Weaam]

adding old big games from last years is not something new for GP, i think javy created this thread because there was no new big games announcement day one on GP next 6 months.

Yes, that is to my understanding why this was kept unlocked. I don’t know why mods would allow it otherwise, and complain about it now seems odd.

I found the thread to be embarrassing but yes it’s open to keep that out of the OT as well as just having more threads and less gigantic time commitment OT’s in general.

The mods should ban/warn people who don’t let this toxic shit die. The thread premise is faulty so it shouldn’t exist.

[Shakez]

Great deal, we need more like this one, way more.

[pg2g]

Big games from 12 months ago are still big additions to the v service IMO. If RE hits this Spring id be very happy.

But nobody is saying Game Pass isnt adding enough games. The whole premise is that game pass should absolutely do what it can to secure BIG Day 1 AAA games in addition to what they do now as a natural evolution of the service independent of if Stalker got delayed or not.
