Do you think that Cyberpunk 2077 will come to Xbox Game Pass on day one?

[Magic-Man]

This is inspired by this thread: https://www.resetera.com/threads/i-...-bring-their-games-to-game-pass-day-1.194331/

I saw a few people bring up the idea of Cyberpunk 2077 coming to Game Pass on day one. There's a case to be made for this, with Microsoft increasing investment into the Game Pass service, the marketing deal between CDPR and Microsoft, and the fact that the Witcher 3 launched on the service late last year.

Personally, I can't see it. You risk the chance of pissing off everyone who pre-ordered the game for the system. I see it coming later for sure (maybe when the Series X comes out) but not on the first release date.

 

[Toumari]

No.

 

[giancarlo123x]

That's a one sided opinion on the poll. Lol

 

[salromano]

Nobody knows.

 

[Windu]

No, cyberpunk is also from the same company as GOG.

 

[Outrun]

Give it 8 months...

 

[FelipeMGM]

No. We would've heard that by now I imagine

 

[Smurf]

lol

 

[DNAbro]

No lmao

 

[Bear]

No. Definitely not.

 

[Soiks]

I don't think it makes sense financially for either party considering the vast amount of money it's likely to bring in.

 

[CloseTalker]

So many people have pre ordered at this point, MS would catch just as much flak as praise for it

 

[Rocketz]

Not day one but later down the line. CDPR has a good relationship with MS and I would suppose they worked this out with the marketing deal.

 

[Fiel]

Cant see AAA 3rd party doing this.

it basically suicide and also give day1 discount to your game..

 

[sensui-tomo]

More likely to see it be like the FF15 game where if you buy the xbox version, you get the windows store version as well, before ever seeing it on gamepass day 1.

 

[Couscous]

40 votes no and 0 votes yes lol. Microsoft's pockets are deep, but they're not reckless with spending money.

 

[Mediking]

Nope

 

[The Gold Hawk]

I don't think so.

It being added reasonably soon (as in after 18 months) possibly.

I wouldn't have said RDR 2 would have been on it as quickly as it was.

 

[Yog-Sothoth]

100% not happening.

 

[Renteka-Bond]

Not a chance. The Witcher 3 is super old and has no bearing on any new releases. Cyberpunk is far too high-profile a release not tied already to Microsoft to see them going that route unless Microsoft is paying them an inordinate sum, especially with the previous announcement that buy Cyberpunk on Xbox One guarantees you the Series X version so you don't have to rebuy it.

 

[Rowsdower]

No.

It'll come out on Game Pass within the following year though.

 

[Iron Eddie]

No but it would be a great move to put it on after Series X comes out. They won't want to subsidize new sales too expensive but of Series X comes out 3 months later that wold be a bold move.

???

 

[Starlatine]

of course not

 

[//ARCANUM]

not a chance in hell

 

[Pancracio17]

Nope. I dont think itll take too long for it to be on gamepass though, id bet a year. Which honestly is pretty fast for a game that huge.

 

[bobeth]

No. No no.

 

[Xam3l]

One day, maybe.
Day one, no.

 

[finally]

How much would this cost Microsoft, something like $200 Millions?

 

[Masagiwa]

I gotta stop reading these titles so fast. I read it "one day"

 

[Deleted member 923]

Lmao

 

[Kordelle]

Absolutely not.

 

[Kolx]

Yes. MS would just have to pay a cool billion, and all will be good.

 

[Windu]

How much would this cost Microsoft, something like $200 Millions?

Probably more tbh.

 

[TheDutchSlayer]

NO WAY seriously no way.

 

[Deleted member 61469]

I would imagine MS would give people who pre ordered a heads up in that case.

 

[Gay Bowser]

No. No no no.

 

[Kill3r7]

Nope but I would love it if it did.

 

[Magic-Man]

Like I said in the OP, I can see it coming to Game Pass alongside the Series X launch (that would be a killer third-party app that could get some advertising attention), but not in September.

 

[Hey Please]

No. CDPR made news about how they support MS's Smart Delivery initiative. That would be rendered irrelevant if there were plans to bring it to Pass, day 1. I do foresee it coming to Pass one day however.

There's a case to be made for this, with Microsoft increasing investment into the Game Pass service, the marketing deal between CDPR and Microsoft, and the fact that the Witcher 3 launched on the service late last year.

I don't see how any of that translates into a case being made for Cyberpunk2077 on Game Pass day one, but that's just me.

And to answer the thread, no.

 

[Joo]

I think the soonest it can happen is once the sales start to really slow down, and that might take a long while. But definitely it'll be on game pass at some point I'd imagine.

 

[Raide]

Possibly. Maybe MS threw some money at them to grab a short exclusive period for the Next-Gen version. Who knows! Getting a solid launch date would be good also!

 

[Knight in Shining Armani]

RDR2 took 18 months. It'll be closer to that than launch.

 

[Empyrean Cocytus]

I think it's pretty likely. Xbox One is definitely the primary platform for this game and Microsoft seems to be putting a lot of marketing behind it, especially with it being the main third-party game behind Microsoft's Xbox One/Series X cross-generational play.

 

[Deleted member 864]

I wouldn't be against it, but no.

 

[Damn Silly]

No. I can see it being on the service relatively quickly, but not day one.

 

[Arex]

we could turn this into a bet thread for the 14 yes votes :P

 

[LinkStrikesBack]

Absolutely not. Microsoft would have to pay CDPR near the whole RRP for every copy minus whatever cut MS normally take to get something close to that. They'd have to toss them probably hundreds of millions of dollars.

Sign me up if it is lmao
