Oh, absolutely.
I thought influencers would have things a little early but be embargoed until when reviews release, then they would be out there hyping the product for folks to want to preorder the game to jump in day one.
At least thats my impression of how the influencers would be leveraged. Some titles had influencers able to show upto a certain point of the product weeks before release.
Influencer/streamer codes are almost always release day, because companies donāt trust them to not leak things 
. We rarely get codes before launch from SE, which as an Xbox site I figure is the norm. Still to see them so late for so many, and after playing that demo, Iām not confident on this one.
Didnāt Xbox sent codes to those when it came to Forza and Halo?
Very understandable.
What was sticking out in my early morning mind was two titles as I dont particularly see influencer streams. So could have false perception of how it would work elsewhere.
First was The Cult of the Lamb, thinking it had somewhat of an earlier influencer cycle. Second was some fighting game, maybe Street Fighter series, where they had some showing off a new fighter here and there.
I could very well be mixing up āearly access gameā and specific ādemo programā for those.
Do you think a hypothetical Gears Collection would include 4? It is my fave.
If there really is a collection, iv always expected it to be the first 3 games
Based on the demo which I just played yesterday im not expecting glowing reviews for forspoken
You know, I donāt recall the Game Pass banner in the opening before trailer starts. This should be a norm, so a personās hype can engage right away and be amazed what theyāll get as a subscriber.
Haha! Take that, Sony. We get to preload first!
But seriously, please be good!
If you loved it via game pass or digital, preorder today!
Yeah thatās a very simple but smart change

Jason Schreier says most of the rumors about Infinite scrapped DLC is wrong
4 and 5 have great PC versions. I imagine a Gears Collection is getting 1 (on pc but rough, 2, and 3 onto PC. Kinda like how TLOU Part 1 was made in large part to get the game on PC
Probably would have ended earlier if Game Pass didnāt happen. Either way, on to the next chapter, full speed ahead.
Has this person ever spoiled any news in the past?
i would like to hear what jez has to say from his sources before i believe this person
Well if heās right about Avengers iād assume heās right about PD/TR also
I was kind of expecting PD late 24/25 but I was at least hoping dev was going well
