Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass: Doom Eternal, Brütal Legend, Forza Motorsport 7, and More

Tangential side note, has anyone played Felix the Reaper? Should I take a crack at it before it leaves? I remember it looking kind of cool.
Dishonored 2 was supposed to leave at the end of the month... I assume that's not still happening. Or do you see it leaving because that's already in motion and it'll just come back eventually
Well it's no longer in the leaving soon section in the app and I can install it still so looks like it's staying.
Glad to see FH7 finally on GP. I played a bit of the FH7 demo, but otherwise, I haven't played a track Forza since 3 (don't own an XB1). Doom: Eternal and EA Play not coming to PC until later is a bit disappointing. More free PSO2 shit is always nice.
why hate? Curious if I should try.
Im excited for all the turn based games lately
Hate is a strong word. Definitely didn't offer the gameplay I expected.
Nonetheless, the console versions of those games were published by EA, and that is the version that is now being put on Game Pass on console. The EA logo is going to show up while booting it up. EA might not own the IP, but they would still have to get permission from them, as they published that specific product. You'd think they'd get it on PC too at some point, but my guess is it's a Windows Store issue there - if a game doesn't exist on the store, there is work that has to be done to get it into the format it needs to be in.EA doesn't own Brutal Legend. It's self published on steam with a copyright for Double Fine
Brutal Legend on Steam
Brütal Legend is an action-adventure that marries visceral action combat with open-world freedom. Set in a universe somewhere between Lord of the Rings and Spinal Tap, it’s a fresh take on the action/driving genre, which in this case is full of imitation cover bands, demons intent on enslaving...store.steampowered.com
They own most of the games outside of the licensed remasters from Disney and the Sesame Street game. Though I don't know if they own RAD. Steam page has a copyright for Namco on that one so who knows where it ended up.
Man how the hell do they add Brutal Legend before Psychonauts?
Get the game into the hands of as many people as possible to drum up hype and excitement for the sequel. It's been nearly 20 years!
Put it on Gamepass and promote it or give us a remaster 😭

I'm not seeing this in the Perks section of the Game Pass app, is anyone else? (UK here)
Most didn't like the RTS aspect of it. In terms of combat, it's a hack-and-slash with moments that you can fly over the battlefield and order your crew around. Try it, though!
Doom Eternal will go to PC GP in

I'm confused. Why is Forza 7 just now going up on Gamepass when Era told me all 1st party games go up at launch/day 1?
well... it meant going forward
so older games have taken some time to be added in.
i should probably add some context to this... imagine game makers get royalties per sale... or licenses aren't done with open access or streaming services in mind.... they need to renegotiate every contract they made if those things are in the deal... and it's hard giving true value to a download and play vs a purchase.
I mean, the actual answer is that I think the release pre-dates GP, similar to how Quantum Break pre-dated Play Anywhere support.
I guess I'll never play Metro now.
I wish I got more than 2 weeks heads up on when things will leave Gamepass. Can't complain too much. Will give FM7 and Doom Eternal a try.

It's not confusing at all. Forza 7 came out before they started doing day and date Game Pass releases. Clearly the licensing caused issues getting it onto the service at all until now.
Hmmmm
Looks like Gamepass launched 1st to me.
I hope Game Core or some dev kit changes, will fix the console/PC releases on Game Pass so that they always release at the same time. I am sure that is something planned, but not sure why the implementation is taking so long.
game pass existed before the day and date announcement.
they announced that after Forza Motorsport 7 came out.
Xbox Game Pass Expands To Include New Releases From Microsoft Studios - Xbox Wire
Phil Spencer, Head of Gaming at Xbox, discusses a major update to the Xbox Game Pass program. Details below: When we launched Xbox Game Pass in June 2017, we knew we wanted to craft a service with gamers in mind. That meant a diverse, expanding library of over 100 games and counting, matched...

somebody please cite a source for this - i don't see anything official beyond "later in 2020"
(but not like i can't wait til december, got enough to play before then)
I had it mistaken with EA Play! But it will be later this year, for sure.
I could have sworn that was how it worked, and that there were tracks where I cannot choose 'night' in quick race, that had night races when I used that card. I'm probably just getting it twisted though.
Not at all. Since the service launched all games have been negotiated in a way that releasing on gamepass is ok.
The problem is that you can't just pick an old game and release it on gamepass since it's an entirely new service.
Just imagine they do a contract with Mclaren that says "we can use your car for 10 years in Forza Horizon 7, we will release it on Microsoft Store-Xbox, and we will give you 0.00005 cent for every game sold". Then, releasing it on gamepass is a breach of that contract because... you don't sell the game? Does that make sense (I totally made this example up btw).
That is also a reason a lot of other car games just have "fantasy" cars, sometimes is not worth the money/licensing issues. (and car manufactures have special things sometimes like "You cant destroy our car totally")
But going forward, whatever agreements that are reach are done with Gamepass-xcloud in mind 100%.
It's just not that every track has all the condition variants, so some tracks don't have night racing.
All first-part titles launching day-and-date w/ Game Pass came later, as the early beta for it went on. Xbox Studios titles started being added early 2018, I think.
I want someone to figure out why Sunset Overdrive isn't on xCloud. Seems like such a weird omission when it's on Game Pass.
Wonder if Sony is blocking it in some way, like now that they own IG, and thus own the IP, it can't be released on new platforms (I know it's still technically on Xbox but you know contracts can be weird and streaming may be considered new) without their approval or something?
It was shown in the original Android announcement image.

I doubt it, they included it in their showcase where they said all those games were coming to gamepass.
