That was my thinking. Shame for Codemasters but I just don't think there's much of a demand for rally style games anymore.
this is why all the doom and gloom around gamepass is overblown. If the game finds a decent audience on GP, there could be a dirt 6.
If all we want to see is AAA (AAAA?) and indie in the future, then ya gamepass is not needed but for AA stuff like this from established studios, gamepass and similar services could be the future.
Oh my god I got exciters seein pillars of eternity but it's not in PC :(
man shame, sure it will come on eventually

Just bought Dirt 5 before the weekend in the recent sale. I'm happy with what I paid for it but still a slight twinge of pain seeing it appear in gamepass.
I need to 100% it before it arrives to get the most for my money.

I'm down to try Dirt 5. Have been looking for a racing game and Forza 4 is just too much of a messy experience to come back to. Interested to try the 120hz mode for a minute too.
Mostly interested in PoE2: Deadfire though. I'm curious to hear if that will hook me more than the first.

No. I think people need to stop thinking of sales being consistent over long periods of time. Like, dirt 5 plateaued in terms first month and it's not a game that will get MORE sales as time goes on. There's no word of mouth for racing games. It's a nice genre save for Horizon.
A game that goes to game pass doesn't necessarily mean it sold poorly, it just means it's sales plateaued and there's no harm in it being there
if i eventually were interested in getting to know the pillars of eternity universe in anticipation of avowed, should i play both or i could get into poe2 directly?
There is though, the Dirt Rally series and the WRC games sell pretty good.
It's the Numbered Dirt ones, that have been on a rough spot for quite a while.
Oh yeah, Dirt 5. Almost bought it last week so procrastination worked out! :) Also, for folks without gaming PC, PoE 2 is very very good.
Folks should hold their commentary about an entire genre of games based on the performance of one that is, unfortunately, really not very good. Dirt 5 is another one of these games that's unfocused, not particularly engaging, and is only an "arcade racer" because it tells you it is and is lathered in bright colours.
Wreckfest is the real highlight of this.
Dirt 5 solidifies an idea/theory that I've had for a while: if you ever see Microsoft partnering with a third-party game to regularly appear in their press conferences, almost without fail, it will be on game pass within 6 months/a year of release. Jump force did the same thing, Metro Exodus did the same thing, and now Dirt 5 is doing the same thing. I truly would not be surprised to see Yakuza in the next two months.
This is also the answer to a drum that I have been beating for a while, which is how strange it is that Pillars of Eternity 2 is one of the only games released by an Xbox Game Studio post acquisition that has not been on game pass. Now, that group of titles is almost complete

code vein is one of those games that i know is going to be sort of trash but i'll still play it anyway, but i haven't bit on any of the sales yet. thanks gamepass!
Yeah maybe. I'm probably just thinking back to the PS1/PS2 days when the likes of Colin McRae were AAA titles. I guess they don't occupy that level these days but that doesn't necessarily mean people aren't buying them.
Dirt 5 was a big disappointment for me, as someone who bought it at launch. Some really bad event types (awful Sprint racing) and lighting issues — that have since been improved with patches. I'm glad it's on Gamepass now because I definitely feel it'll be a better value proposition that way. It might fix the absolutely dead MP population as well.
