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

Look at the post i’m responding to if you’re confused.

The point I’m making is that some publishers don’t want to release their games on gamepass day 1 despite being approached by MS, we know for a fact that some publishers have rejected lucrative gamepass day 1 deals.

In fact, it’s foolish to think MS isn’t approaching every major publisher regarding gamepass deals. It’s not as simple as some of you are making it out to be.

I don’t see what Sony pays for their timed exclusives has to do with the price of Game Pass deals.

Well most games right now are crossgen so PS4 does count, well we know Sony doesn’t like Game Pass and put clauses in contracts to not allow games go on there even just for marketing deals. We’ve also heard Sony bullying certain studios and supposedly dishing out threats if they do certain stuff. Gotta remember if Game Pass gets big with big titles like Elden Ring that hurts Sony because people might buy a new Xbox instead because of it and people who have both consoles won’t buy it on PS5.

So what you’re saying is that Sony is putting pressure on EVERY big game? So there’s no way to win against them if they have that much power, and as I said the PS4 install base is irrelevant since the game is going to be sold on the platform anyway.

I didn’t mention Sony a single time in the message you quoted.

Not every devs/publisher it’s clear EA and Ubisoft are more Xbox sided it seems but most of the Japanese publishers and devs lean more Sony. I do think Sony has a lot of power and pull than people realise, didn’t Sony get RE8 marketing and no game pass clause for almost nothing?

I with the last part it’s more about Sony not wanting to allow it. Just want to add I don’t think this will continue happen into this generation.

I implore you to look at the post I was responding to, instead of quoting me about my response to another poster.

Well

welp haha i don’t think it would happen but do i expect 3P content small games and maybe big games, time would tell.

@Weaam

the reporting that we have doesn’t mention ANY day one releases. so you’re jumping the gun.

I think 3P is coming, Sony already released 3P content day one with PS Plus.

If they get any BIG game day one, I’ll stay silent and just watch.

What pisses me off is people STILL think you cannot buy games if you sub to Gamepass.

Not only can you buy every Gamepass game digitally but you get a discount. If you BUY ALOT of games gamepass actually makes more sense since you will easily recoup the cost of gamepass with the discount you get on every game.

You could even think of gamepass as atrial service and if you want to keep the game you get a discount.

The great thing about exclusives is that they all stay on the service. Only multiplatform titles leave.

Why is this some sort of gotcha when big third party games release on Gamepass as well in your little hypothetical scenario lol.
