I don't wanna be negative guys, but I don't really think that much people will subscribe to GP for Crackdown 3; and the critical reception certainly won't help. That's why I am confused as of why Gamepass will save the game.
Either way, until we know how GP works with 1st party titles, I guess we will never know
Oh, people will be subscribing because of the €2 deals. But because all these people will subscribe, Crackdown 3 will gain lots of players. I'd be surprised if it wouldn't hit 2 million unique players within 2 months.
But they already used the offer for Sea of Thieves last year no?
You do realise CD3 isn't the only game releasing on the service though right? Even if someone subs on a trial to check out CD3, there's a good chance they'll stick around for the other goodies that are on the service now and will be coming in the weeks ahead.
The current deal is also for resubs. So people who used a trial for SoT can make use of this deal too. :P
