The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

They only paid for a year’s exclusivity which ran out almost two years ago now. Square still haven’t ported it I think they said it’s “because the Xbox is fail”?

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
Gamepass cannibalizing sales is the dumbest gaming thing I've read about in awhile. #1 no poo poo people who own gamepass arent going to buy the game #2 Gamepass has been around for years now, companies understand what theyre getting, if the money provided by MS + Dlc sales and exposure weren't worth it for the studios they wouldnt take it, yet we have big studios and games continuing to take the deal time and time again so it's clearly beneficial to them. It's that simple.

I think this year might be the best for Gamepass just because they actually have large third party exclusives while last year they had smaller indie games mainly. Last year was stuff like A Plague Tale, Tunic, Total Warhammer 3 which are good but this year they got Atomic Hearts, Wo Long, Minecraft Legends, Redfall, Starfield. That's just the first half of the year and only new releases.

If the Activision deal doesn't even go through like someone said in the thread that's just Microsoft with 70bln back. Pretty sure they could just throw money at big third party publishers like Square, Sega, Ea, Ubisoft for few day one pass games or in some case straight up buy. I am pretty sure with how poorly Ubisoft/EA have been doing in terms of their stock performance, their investors would welcome a buyout and those acquisitions will have way less antitrust issues. Like Ubisoft stock is nearly at all time lows and their market cap is only 2bln euro. Even in dollars that is less than what Sony paid for Bungie even if Microsoft pays 10-20% above current market price.. So Microsoft could just pick them up yolo to have another dev for gamepass.

Point is even if Activision deal doesn't go through they can pick someone else up or throw money like they did at Sega for all those Yakuza games. Ubisoft is definitely in the down but you are really buying on the cheap and AC Valhalla by itself had 1bln in revenue. So that is almost 50% of their market valuation by 1 game. And they have like 2-3 AC games in dev already.

Either they were incorrect or the deal fell through. Instead, individual games have ended up on Game Pass.

Ya I think safe bet is the holidays but summer seems empty. They could do one presentation then reveal release date of 3-4 months. Plus guys like Jeff Grub saying they think it's possible.

fallout 4 got announced the summer of 2015 and came out 6 months later with like 2 promotional trailers, those vault boy cinematics and no previews

plus it was a buggy pos at launch so starfield is definitely coming out this year

Personally I think the game doesn't exist at all and is just a prank that got really out of control like the AEW game.
