Xbox Game Pass |OT| Our Backlogs Are Doomed

Isn’t it only on there until like June or July? I’d bet after that.

I’m wondering what 3rd party Devs and publishers are thinking about the massive sales success and player base that outriders has had.

Ya, it makes sense for Avengers. I think being on Game Pass might help the dying game a bit. There can be good amount of PR generated if its on Game Pass

Huh, guess GTAV is back? Didn’t see that coming.

Bunch of games leaving EA Play in addition to the ones we already know are leaving Game Pass. Seems like the reason for this is because online services are shutting down for those games:

This list is a love letter to Square Enix, MLB and EA. Maximise attention for Outriders, NHL and MLB as much as possible.

Square Enix especially is getting amazing preferential treatment for its games. What is happening there?

I thought second Extinction was early access in Gamepass this month? Was I wrong about that? Maybe just waiting for the second half to announce that stuff.

MAD PROPS to team Xbox for implementing so many games with touch controls. At this rate almost every game is going to have touch controls lol. It’s so crucial to have touch controls for easier and more affordable accessibility in regards to xcloud. Phil & team really thought about everything.

[ChuckeRearmed]

I wonder how they add touch controls. I presume they don’t need to change the game for that? Similarly like with FPS boost etc.

Yeah, they always do two announcements. MLB is the only game revealed in the second half of the month so far, so there’ll be more to come.

That’s what thought. Not that I care. Outriders will keep me busy.

At first, I didn’t think much of that, but it is truly essential to have the most mobile phone experience, and not needing to buy a controller to play the games. Really essential for Game Pass to pick up on mobile.

They can change the game for it, but this isn’t needed.

Here is a Game Stack presentation about it:
