Five More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass

I've been keeping my eye on Hypnospace Outlaw for a while now, was thinking of buying it on Switch but I saw it was gonna be on Game Pass so I get to play it for free!

And Tell Me Why supports Xbox Play Anywhere?! Awesome, installing on my Surface Book 2 as well!

I really like Xbox Play Anywhere. I don't always have dedicated access to a TV so it's nice to be able to play natively on my Surface Book 2 and share my save file rather than relying on Xbox streaming.

Plus, even though it's technically weaker than my Xbox One X, I prefer to be able to increase graphical options and use a lower resolution, rather than play games rendered in 4K with lower graphical settings (my TV is only a 1080p TV, so super-sampling doesn't matter as much).

I am definitely going to be playing Tell Me Why!

Nothing for me..

I think episodic games like Tell Me Why are perfect for Game Pass.

And have they shown these games running on Series X? No of course not don’t be daft.. that would undermine their message to promote Game Pass...... why did they even bother making another console at all? I’ll give Wastelands 3 a bash later though!

Had little interest in Wasteland 3 but after watching some trailers and reviews of it, I'm definitely willing to give it a go, especially since it's on Game Pass. It seems like a title that I could get lost in for hours, lol. Hopefully I'll find it to my liking!

I’ll definitely be grabbing Wasteland 3. inXile was a great purchase by Microsoft. Along with Obsidian, Xbox will be getting some great RPGs from their 1st party studios.

Like I have said before, I love the diversity Microsoft is doing with their 1st party. Nintendo does a great job of this, as well. Sony, on the other hand.....well, I won’t go into that here. 😂

@S1ayeR74

They made another console so you can play Game Pass on your TV with an Xbox. And it’s way more powerful than the PS5, so they’ll appeal to all who want their 3rd party games looking the best. And they make way more $ on software sales & services than with each console sold.

Microsoft didn’t get their billions by being a stupid company. Lol.

@KelticDevil No they did it by licensing their software, and dominating the market. But this is games and a games console, it the same thing. I don’t think they are doing a very good job of launching a new console.

@S1ayeR74

That is your opinion. I think they are doing a fine job, but it’s not the traditional way of marketing a console. And some people don’t like it. Microsoft just want you in their ecosystem, whether that is on Xbox, PC, your phone, XCloud, etc.

Game Pass is a huge part of that, obviously. If people don’t like it......Sony has $60 Spider-Man DLC they’ll sell ya at launch. 👍🏻

@KelticDevil admit it, they are releasing a console in a couple months with a single first party offering, and still have to show any game play for that game. The only game they did show up game play for won't release until next year but they still want us to think it counts for "launch window"... Oh wait I'm talking about PS5 here 😅

Seriously: why everyine keeps this "they have shown nothing running on series X"? Literally the only launch game for PS5 is Miles Morales and all we seen is a single screenshot.

@FraserG Pretty sure they just shadow dropped Drake Hollow https://youtu.be/QDg7EKFr9Kk and https://news.xbox.com/en-us/

@KelticDevil That’s it keep saying if people don’t like it they can go away and buy a PlayStation because one day, you’ll wake up to find no developers supporting the Series X because no one is buying it because they ‘don’t like the way it’s being marketed and all went and bought a PlayStation’. You do remember Sega right? You know games console kings who were kicked out of the market by competition....
You need to stop defending Microsoft and demanding better from them otherwise you will find developers stop supporting it.
Anyway not saying anymore as this has nothing to do with this story.

@Tharsman

Exactly!!! But everything is all perfect for PS5. But for Xbox, it’s the end of the world!!! 😂🙄

@S1ayeR74

Actually, I don’t “need” to do anything except enjoy games on my Xbox, as millions of others do. Thanks. 👍🏻

@S1ayeR74 “you’ll wake up to find no developers supporting the Series X because no one is buying it” that’s the most nonsensical logic I have heard in a long long while.
Microsoft is a 1.7T$ company which literally controls the Windows PC and Xbox market let alone other huge services like Azure, Gamepass etc. They literally make the APIs and programming languages that game developers have to use. They can literally buy out every games for next decade that’s coming to other platforms without even blinking an eye. The even slightest thought of developers abandoning Microsoft platforms will be the last thing that will come to a rational person’s mind. I mean after all the Xbox One, Windows Phone, Windows 8, Zune etc that company is still going on to be another 2T$ company very soon and thinking to buy TikTok for 25B+$. 😂
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to generate $2.6B in hardware sales.

@mousieone that game actually looks quite cool, even if it seems to overlap a bit with Grounded.

@FraserG thanks right back

@Tharsman yeah I noticed people using the avatars for Ground icons. I am curious about the game though. The drake are cute too, but yeah the overlap.

@Medic_Alert I completely agree. I have a Surface Book 2 with a 6GB Nividia 1060 that does a pretty decent job with most games, but I do find myself deciding if some games are worth running on my laptop or on my Xbox One X.

Yakuza series is one - I ended up choosing my laptop for Yakuza Kiwami. I chose my Xbox One X to run Yakuza Kiwami 2 as the game didn't seem to run well on my laptop. I haven't gotten around to Yakuza 0.

I wish The Outer Worlds supported it as well.

I hope that next-gen will have a lot more cross pollination of save files.

@Z3u5000

Yea that guy makes no sense. Xbox is doing just fine, obviously. Just because they don’t sell as many consoles as Sony.....who cares?

Microsoft is doing things a different way, obviously. And because a lot of PlayStation fans are still stuck in the 90’s or early 2000’s, they won’t accept the fact that multiple companies can thrive in the industry doing things different ways. It’s sad, really.

Nintendo has been doing their own thing for awhile now & is doing just fine. Microsoft can do the same, but just in a different way.

I’m not sure why some people can’t seem to get that through their heads. 🙄

@Z3u5000 Sorry what you said is utterly meaningless and irrelevant, go look at the Nintendo WiiU. That’s my last word in this.

@Medic_Alert "I wish Play Anywhere was getting a bit more love from MS to be honest".

You mean "from third parties" 😁.

@S1ayeR74 The problem with you is that you're assuming that Series X/S won't sell. I'm sure that you assume that PS5 will be a massive success like PS4. Xbox One X sold out the minute it was discontinued. Game Pass was a real success before hitting PC...

Even if PS5 sell more than Series X, games will be optimised for Windows and Series X and will run and look better than on PS5. The same games will be downgraded for PS5. It's always like that since Xbox One X and it will be even more noticeable in a new generation with a larger difference in power, between sustained and more powerful CPU and GPU of Series X and variable and weaker CPU and GPU of PS5, which will be a Sony's exclusives machines for those that love them and that won't be as successful as PS4 because Nintendo and Microsoft are doing alright.

I know well that you're a huge Sony fanboy but I'm sorry to tell you that Series X will do all right, will be fully supported like the mid-gen revision Xbox One X was, even more than PS4 Pro, and that Series S will be the most popular choice for budget-conscious consumers.

Windows and not Sony dominates the games market (ignoring Android "games"), whether people buy on Microsoft, Steam, Epic or whatever store, they all play on Windows and Xbox consoles are Windows machines with Series X being the most-powerful next-gen console. Series X will be the best console hardware-wise and fully supported by every company except small Japanese studios that focus on the Japanese market. Even Square Enix, the best that Sony has ever had, is supporting Xbox and Game Pass.

@Medic_Alert I agree but I think that third parties think twice before offering a PC version for free. They shouldn't because it's the same game and the same user but they do. Even Nintendo made me buy Mario Kart 8 twice and they own the platforms and game! Of course, I support your idea and as long as there's Windows version, the game should be included in Play Anywhere. Let's hope third parties do it like Microsoft.

@Medic_Alert Cross-save should be mandatory for all games available on Xbox and Windows!

@S1ayeR74

You said this was your last word on this like 8 last words ago. 😂

And everything @Z3u5000 said was correct. And like I said, if you don’t like the way Microsoft is doing things...... 👋. Game Pass is amazing & if you can’t see that, then go play Bugsnax. 😂

@S1ayeR74
Yes, I remember how Sega was also sitting on $300 billion in assets. It was the EXACT same situation.

@KelticDevil Your just too blinded by fanboyism to see the reality of the situation, and if I got a PS5 if he playing Ratchet and Clank and Horizon 2 and GT7 whilst your dreaming of playing 1 AAA Xbox game that’s not a third party...

@Akimi Exactly, it’s called business, it’s why Microsoft don’t care about the Series X as the CPU will be used in their servers for cloud services, and the Series S CPU is said to be going into Surface devices, they just want you in their eco system and don’t care how. The less attention they give the Series X the more obvious this becomes.

@S1ayeR74

You still here? I knew I smelled a troll.

Bye. 👋 Ignored.

@KelticDevil You can’t handle simple facts, sad really, ignore returned.
