Bugsnax Jumps From PlayStation To Xbox Game Pass Later This April

I expected this when I learned who developed it. Timed vs permanent exclusivity for Indies (especially on consoles) seems fairly standard, tbh.

I'm definitely adding this to my 'To Play' list - I didn't know this game was a thing, let alone made by the same folks as Octodad, which I would be far more excited for if it came to Xbox!

Of course after i got this on my ps5 not long ago in a sale. Oh well, it was in my backlog anyway and now i can chose where to play it

At least its coming at the 'same' time as the free expansion pack is released on PS so everyone gets that content without any 'timed' exclusivity.

I didn't bother with this on PS5 so I doubt I'll bother on XSX either - can't get any fairer than that LOL

I thought this game just looked weird and not in a good way.
I will skip it, but I am glad for people who wanted to play it but didn't have a PS.

nice surprise, i've heard good things, i'll give it a go!

Everyone's talkin bout Bugsnax!

My kids will give this a go.

Meh... this looks good enough for my 4 year old to play.

@Kooky_Daisuke
PS made a big deal about it as a launch title on PS5. So, I wouldn't call it just another indie filler.

GamePass often brags about diversity of the titles and getting people to play different types of games. If I had a little kid, it seems like this would be a good intro to gaming type title. just because it isn't good for everyone doesn't make it just another indie filler title. There is a large young potential demographic for this game. (LOL. That being said, to me it is just another indie title because my kids are grown up and I have no interest in it).

@IronMan30 In general, permanent exclusivity for third-party releases seems to be a thing of the past. Expect "Switch exclusive" Triangle Strategy to hit Xbox Game Pass in a year or so as well, if Octopath is anything to go by.

I've added this to my backlog, I'm not expecting much but I've heard some good things about the game in general. It's also only about 8 hours long so fairly short playthrough. Will eventually get to it, I'm still having an awesome time with Guardians of the Galaxy and will be starting my playthrough of Life is Strange True Colors later tonight.

Game was shockingly dark at times lol, hope you guys enjoy it!

This is surprisingly fun... your in for a treat

Already played it on my ps5 back on launch but didn't finished it yet, maybe I'll finished it on my series x. It's a fun and interesting game

this was a funny game i played on the ps5 when it launched but i got bored of it fairly quickly. i think i put in two hours an dropped it.

@Royalblues Just that. Viva Piñata is so good that it helped me a lot somehow.

I heard this game is great. Can't wait to get this game for free in April XD bring it on!

@NeoRatt To be fair, they made a big deal about Knack too. And here it sits as one of the worst games I ever played on my PS4.

@InterceptorAlpha
Same can be said for a lot of Sony games. Fans think Sony is amazing, but in reality they miss just about as many as they hit. The only reason PS4 did so well, is that XB and Wii U did so bad last generation. This time around all three consoles are competing hard. And once the acquired MS studios start churning out regular releases this generation is just going to get more and more interesting.

@NeoRatt Absolutely true. Actually, last year Xbox exclusives were better received than PS exclusives. PS4 launched when Wii U was already dying because of the lack of support and the Xbox One launch was a mess, not to mention that Xbox One was more expensive than PS4. Even Sony executives stated that they were surprised at the resounding success of PS4, mentioning the lack of (new) games.
