Outriders Is Coming To Xbox Game Pass On Day One For Console And Streaming

@Pyrosa: my assumption is that square is not stupid. Would not take much of game at this point in time to get huge sales. If they did not get a considerable amount up front or a good amount(40 bucks) per download on game pass they are losing out. Guarantee you even if Outriders ends up being a fluster cluck like anthem or fo76 its going to be a huge seller just because of its timing.

@theduckofdeath: they do huh? When did Microsoft ever try innovate their console? They been copying playstation since their inception. Yeah MIcrosoft is a huge company but xbox has never been anything but a cheap knock off and Microsoft has never even tried to do their own thing.

And game pass is not a gaming innovation it is a business model and it is about as sneaky and anti-gamer as the f2p model is. Nintendo might not of went the direction i wanted but at least they innovated. And although Sony's innovations been crap at least they are trying. But do not worry if Sony does succeed with one of their innovations Microsoft will steal the idea.

@6t4gp: shortages on both systems was an old hype ploy thats done all the time. But they messed up and it is a real shortage now because of the shortage on microchips. Every ps4 player i know that switched to xbox only did it because they could not find a ps5

@6t4gp: Because US. It tends to be that way in the US, but everywhere else, not so much. I'm seeing a few of them around in my area. Still can't find a PS5, though.

@keiser69: gta 5 sold 20 million copies at 60 bucks each on playstation that is 1.2 billion for a single game how many games does game pass have? Game like outriders has to be predicting at least 200 million in sales on xbox to sell for game pass for anything less would of been dumb.

@Archaicc: consoles sold at a loss but not with the express intent to stifle competition. They sold at a loss but they end up profiting because of their cut of the thousands of games that get developed for their platform.

@Archaicc: Their response is the response you get when sites like Gamespot only discuss the Playstation 5 being sold out, and make dedicated pages for when the PS5 is in stock.

@keiser69: People Can Fly employs 250 people across 6 separate studios and was responsible for games like Gears Judgment and Bulletstorm. It's not a small developer.

@keiser69: I’m gonna give it awhile to get its footing before I give it another shot. There’s potential, it just needs to be executed correctly.

I’ve been wanting to play sea of thieves but I don’t have a PC or Xbox sadly

@legacyrxt: That's what Betas are for.

@legacyrxt: Hope so. I didn't see any reason Outriders HAS to run at 30 or less on the Series X; it's not the most amazing looking game or anything. I enjoyed it significantly more on my PC, so if it's not smooth on the Xbox I may still buy the game on PC, even though I've got Game Pass. Guess that wouldn't put me out anything I wasn't expecting to be before I heard this news.

@keiser69: He didn't suggest it was.

@keiser69:

Except Outriders isn't a live service game... The devs have stated this numerous times. Outriders is a full-package game. All content is included from day one and it has a start and an end. Think of loot games like Diablo 2 or Borderlands - that is the formula Outriders is using, except unlike those games, Outriders also has a fully fleshed out endgame component as well.

They are not drip-feeding us content like other games of this type do or waiting to see how many big the playerbase is before moving forward with expanding the game. You get it all from day one.

@keiser69: I don't wish the game ill will. You may be right.

I have a feeling it's going to be a 6.5-7 rated game.
