Two 90s Classics Expected To Join Xbox Game Pass For PC Soon

I am an Xbox Insider and these are the 3rd and 4th game out there for testing.

I am not going to say what the other is. Due to my Insider access levels, sometimes I don't know what I can or can't say.

I mean, when you accept to test these games you agree to the following:

"You acknowledge that everything related to this Flight Program for [redacted] (“Game”) is confidential and should be treated as confidential until the Game is generally available to the public.

Please keep in mind that features you see in this Flight Program may change or be removed in the final version and those features should always remain confidential even after release of the Game. "

It makes me mad this stuff gets out there as even mentioning it is technically breaking one's agreement to being a part of the program.

Wolfenstein 3D and Quake 3 Arcade for Xbox 360 are backwards compatible on Series X, but not on Game Pass. Those ports were published by Activision so that might be the reason they were held back. Could they potentially be added when the acquisition goes through?

Yay more ancient games that even a museum would say you are having a laugh guvnor.

Interesting from a history / game preservation perspective I guess but not an actual playing having fun one at least for me.

(For context I was gaming when these were launched played them a lot. For their time they are good games but that time has passed, gaming has moved on and my gaming preferences have changed too. Oh hum.)

pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleazzzzzzzzzzzzz bring Daggerfall to xbox

Hoping to see Return to Castle Wolfenstein and the Quake 2 Mission Packs added to Game Pass ( or at least the store in the case of the latter, Steam and GOG seem to be the only places you can get the "dlc" from, not that they were referred to as dlc in those days, it would have taken 5 years to download them in those days lol)

Daggerfall is probably my top Elder Scrolls after Morrowind.

That said, when the game currently being rebuilt in Unity with modern features, and it can run on the potato-edit of PC, I'm not sure an Xbox port brings much to the table. Maybe achievements?

@SplooshDmg To be fair, they've had them for free to claim for a decade on their website now.

@InterceptorAlpha i doubt it. They dont even have achievements for fallout 3 or new vegas for pc gamepass. Dont know why, you would think all first party games should.

Who cares about PC games ? I definitely do not ... #ConsolesAllDay ❎

@GamingFan4Lyf
I am in the Insiders Program, even in the Alpha Skip Ahead ring. And I feel like they put random games in for testing so spuradically, and dont give me notifications or anything. That I will rarely get into Betas or testing without someone on here mentioning the game.

GamingFan4Lyfe, where do you go to check what actual new stuff is being tested on the latest updates we get? I know they have a Reddit page, But just curious if their is some where you find info on upcoming game testing or some *****... Thanks Buddy!

Guess we knew this would happen soon as the renamed gamepass on PC. I guess these games don’t have controller support so they couldn’t even be available via xcloud on console?

I’m really hoping things between console and pc get evened out this gen. It’s already a complete piss take that pc gamers get these exact games from Microsoft but without paywalls locking off their multiplayer for cross-play play. I want to see full mod support come to the likes of Bethesda games for both pc and console. Fallout 4 was a good start…but Xbox gamers aren’t currently getting the likes of ‘fallout London’. And the amount of messages I’ve read of people saying they’re getting the pc version of starfield because of mods…

Xbox console gamepass thinks nothing of charging us to bring early access games to gamepass, free to play games to gamepass, demos… so start supporting mods - extend the life and value of your current games…especially when your own studios are struggling to get the simplest of things out.

@Stoned_Patrol I just periodically load up the Xbox Insider App on both PC and Xbox and see what's available for Preview.

I used to be a lot more active than I am - I'd check a few times per week for anything new. I am a lot less active these days; but given the recent activity, I may have to start looking more often, again.

@GamingFan4Lyf Ya I still look at it weekly at least. I didnt get a preview or test option for any of these four games you mentioned though. And I am in the Alpha skip ahead program! Thats kinda budget.

@Stoned_Patrol I am...beyond Alpha Skip Ahead.

@GamingFan4Lyf

Say.... What?

Damn well you must have really earned it honestly, I have been part of the the Insider Program for over 5 years and really try to take advantage of all of the previews and give feedback n stuff. But I know I could have done a lot more. I hope someday I get an opportunity to join the ranks of the "Skip ahead of the Alpha Skip Ahead" rank. I salute you!

@Stoned_Patrol It has nothing to do with working hard on the Insider Program. There is no higher access for the general public as far I know. You have reached the highest you can achieve.

I am not general public and I will leave it at that.

And no, I am not some games industry higher up in disguise. LOL!
