On the back of Xbox Developer Direct there were rumours that Visions of Mana might be coming to Xbox Game Pass - fuelled by some vague wording on the Xbox website. Well, the team has now come out and confirmed that the Square Enix RPG is not launching on the service.
In a statement provided to Eurogamer, Xbox says that this wording "was an error" and that they "do not have plans to bring Visions of Mana to Game Pass at this time." Here's a bit more from Xbox's response to the false rumour:
"We're aware that Xbox.com included language that indicated Visions of Mana was coming to Xbox Game Pass and can confirm this was an error,
While we are always updating the library and looking for new ways to provide members with value and choice, we do not have plans to bring Visions of Mana to Game Pass at this time."
Despite missing out on a Game Pass launch, Visions of Mana is launching on Xbox platforms on day one - which in itself is a step forward for Square Enix and Microsoft. Last year, the two companies committed to "partner closely" on upcoming Square Enix titles.
