OK, stick with us here. Remember that game Bright Memory: Infinite that was revealed for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S back in May? It now has a release window of 2021 for the next-gen systems, but the original 2019 version of the game (just called "Bright Memory") is now a launch title for Xbox Series X|S.
The news was revealed during the PLAYISM Game Show earlier today (thanks GamesRadar).
This is the version of Bright Memory that was released on Steam last year, created by one-man development studio FYQD using Unreal Engine and currently holding a "Very Positive" rating on the platform. It's described as a "lightning-fast fusion of the FPS and action genres", but don't expect too much - it only features around an hour of gameplay.
We anticipate next year's game will be significantly expanded, but this is certainly a welcome addition in the interim.
Pleased to see Bright Memory heading to Xbox Series X|S? Let us know in the comments.

Well, this is a strange way to release a game. Almost like a paid demo.
An hour or two of gameplay is fine for something narrative-driven like Gone Home or What Remains of Edith Finch, but something about a FPS that's that short is rubbing me up the wrong way.
the trailer on Steam has got my interest. i need more singleplayer FPS games in my life
I enjoyed it but it was very short. Like shorter than MGS Ground Zeroes short. Of course you get Infinite free if you buy Bright Memory which is a hell of a deal. Edit: Does that apply to Xbox too? I know it does on Steam.
Q) Pleased to see Bright Memory heading to Xbox Series X|S?
A) Surprised is my dominant emotion, but as someone whose very much intrigued by Bright Memory: Infinite and have heard a fair bit of praise to the original, I guess I'd say I'm pleased. Whether I'll purchase it or not will depend on price; I think I'll let my preference for physical games slide for what looks to be a smaller title (I do make the odd exception every year).
Also, I am perfectly okay with a shorter length game. They are much more to my preference as well, although only a couple of hours might be pushing it (sounds more like a demo at that point).
Should put it on Game Pass
@Trmn8r
I agree. If it’s an hour or two long, it should be on Game Pass. It would, essentially, be a demo for the upcoming game on XSX.
@KelticDevil Very much agreed
If it's included on Game Pass or bundled with Infinite then no problem! Anyway, it's very cheap on Steam, Ground Zeroes was not.
