Xbox’s gaming subscription service, Game Pass, keeps growing in value with every passing day. Already making hundreds of games available to players for a low monthly price, the recent acquisition of Bethesda’s parent company ZeniMax Media has made the service a lot more convincing for a massive chunk of gamers. In addition to this, the rumor mill keeps churning with the latest among the bunch being theaddition of Ubisoft games on the platform. One additional rumor suggested that People Can Fly’sOutriderswas on its way to be included in the service.
It seems that those rumors ended up being very true, as Xbox has officially confirmed thatOutriderswould be available on Xbox Game Pass day-and-date with the game’s launch day. Fans are already delighted at the prospect of trying out the game at launch, and it seems that a multitude of factors makes the Xbox Game Pass service the best platform for the game.
Xbox Game Pass: Monumental In Warranting A Try
As much asOutridersmay turn out to be great, the concept of third-person shooters with co-op elements and team abilities is one that has been explored multiple times in the subgenre. Adding injury to the fact is many recent titles have suffered from disastrous launches, with two notable examples being Bioware’sAnthemand Ubisoft’sGhost Recon: Breakpoint. While this doesn’t imply thatOutridersmay follow the same path,but that there will a bunch of gamers refraining from purchasing the game initially because of these concerns.
Generating Continous Feedback
While it’s true thatOutridersisn’t a games as a service title, that doesn’t rule out the possibility of additional content or expansions in the future. People Can Fly has already stated multiple times thatOutriderswould be a one-time purchaseand there are currently no plans for DLCs. However, the looter-shooter nature of the game does warrant a lot of rigorous feedback in terms of drop rates, balance updates, and the likes.
Outridersis set to release on April 1 on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
