So what are everyone's most wanted games they want to land on gamepass ?
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

It could be a very long list but I'll reduce right now to these:

Disco Elysium
Nier Replicant
REmakes 2 & 3
Divinity Original Sin 2
Baldur's Gate 3 (when it's on consoles)
Several indie metroidvania which may not be released or even planned for Xbox (like in example Ghost Song)

Some others I'd like are already announced or assumed like Silksong, Diablo IV or Deathloop.
More or less realistic list for now, except maybe some Indies.

Oh and I could throw in some games I'd like ported as well, that have been exclusive to ps for now. I'd love for Kena and Sifu to be ported and get on game pass day one for example. Also Stray but that hasn't even launched yet and I'll probably have a ps5 before it gets a port (if).

Man Far Cry 5 is really good huh?
A couple hours in and really enjoying the gameplay and setting. Exactly what I wanted for the summer.

Don't know why I never copped it since I kinda loved 3 and 4...

Loving Game Pass lately.

I echo Tales of Arise, Disco Elysium. Would love to see Saints Row come this year.

If we're getting a little crazy, I'd say 13 Sentinels and Guilty Gear Strive haha

Hell yeah, more quality indies is what I'd like the most. Now that you mention it, I don't think Kena and Sifu had their timed-exclusivity windows revealed, did they ? Thinking they might be full exclusive :/

I doubt it. Sloclap and Ember Labs have both already confirmed that there's only timed exclusivity. There's a possibility that Sony paid to extend exclusivity.. but.. why?

I can't find anything on exclusivity window other than they're both timed exclusives. For example:

Q: Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a EGS timed exclusive! Any specific reason for that? Also, can you share the time for which it will stay Epic Games Store exclusive?
We are currently focused in our launches for PlayStation and Epic Games store, which are timed exclusives. We will look into other platform releases after launch and a rest.

Kena Bridge of Spirits Interview With COO and Co-Founder of Ember Lab

Tomorrow, we will be able to play Ember Lab's highly anticipated game, Kena: The Bridge of Spirits. When the game was first revealed last year, it quickly
segmentnext.com segmentnext.com

And Sifu, confirmed timed directly by sloclap here:

Reddit - Dive into anything

www.reddit.com www.reddit.com

Kena will be a year from release this September, so the soonest of these. Sifu would be next year and Stray hasn't even released yet and I hope it's also timed but I could get a ps5 before a year passes since it gets released.

I also have thought about 13 Sentinels a lot, anyone think there is some chance of that coming to Xbox eventually? If I ever find it at a good price for switch will pick it up, but would love to have on Xbox

Realistically? Probably not. Vanillaware has never made a game for Xbox. On the other hand, 13 Sentinels was published by Atlus. They at least know that porting to Xbox is theoretically possible lol. So, is there any chance? Yes, because Persona came over. Is it likely? Probably not without a game pass deal that takes all the risk out of the port - and even then, it'll probably be a while since I'm not sure Vanillaware would try to do the port on their own.

Children of Morta is leaving Game Pass. It's great so if you haven't tried it I strongly recommend it.

Every roguelike fan should play Children of Morta. It's a fantastic game with nice story, great characters with various abilities, good artistic designs, great music and addictive gameplay.

If you also have Playstation Plus Extra or Premium both Children of Morta and Cris Tales are on Playstation Plus Extra/Premium so if you have not played ot bought the games yet you could still play it on Playstation.

but like Digimon Survive and One Piece Odyssey sometime too because I can't really justify buying the anime games like that but they are good gamepass games for me to mess around with for a bit and never finish :P

Echoing the various Children of Morta posts - one of the absolute best games i've played through Game Pass.

Carrion was great as well.

did the update that added online co-op to morta ever get added to the game pass version? I already finished it solo but I wanted to replay it after that update and the game pass version was left behind at that point.

Wanted to play Umurangi Generation as it seems right my alley but the controls are unbelievably awful. Genuinely feels like something no one ever tested.

Was it like this on the original switch release? Can't understand the praise if so, it's borderline unplayable.

Far Cry 5 is pretty fun so far, some of the vistas are quite beatiful. Although Ubi has usually been good with that imo.

I really want disco Elysium, I think that's my only game pass wish at the moment.

I should go back and try and play more morta. I was enjoying it but got worried I was bad at it so I dropped it.

There's tons of stuff i would love added to Game Pass. Dying Light 2, OPUS: Echo of Starsong, Eastward, Behind the Frame, 13 Sentinels, Crash 4 and CTR, the new Doraemon game, damn, lots and lots of stuff.

Lethal League Blaze leaving makes me sad.

Oo good calls. I was trying to think what games released this year I would want on the service. I thought about Tiny Tina's, and I do want to play that eventually, but it wasn't as much of a departure from Borderlands as I was expecting.

I somehow totally forgot about DL2. I'd be so down to play that on GP!

From recent AAA I want RE8 and Cyberpunk the most. Lots of indies I'd like to get added, old and new, so I won't even begin to list them 😂

Definitely play Children of Morta, guys! This type of game does not so often come with a a gripping story and great characters. But Children of Morta delivers on all of it.

Will give Carrion a shot before it leaves. I was so excited for Cris Tales but that game just did not stick with me at all. I felt bored playing it.

As far as games I'd loved to see on game pass, has to be The Quarry. Pretty interested in that.

Gonna echo the sentiment that everyone should give Children of Morta a shot before it leaves. Fantastic game.

Yea.. Cris Tales was alright. I gave it several hours, but I feel like I had seen the majority of the cool bits of the game by then already (bolstered by reviews that said you had seen most of it by then). The pacing and difficulty also didn't feel well-tuned through that beginning section. The first boss fight is cool, though. And there were some cool ideas with the fights and environments. Glad I checked it out. Glad I moved on.

In a good way! Really enjoyed the game overall and the last playable sequence was awesome

I'll post more thoughts when I'm back at my PC

I'd like to see Tiny Tina and Neir Replicant show up at some point. Plus countless indie stuff that looks good to me.

I'm interested to see what is coming in the first half of the month. I think Matchpoint Tennis is all we know so far.

If only I enjoyed One Piece Warriors more.. I played it for a couple hours, and it was aggressively ok. Dynasty Warriors 9 was kinda a disappointment, but honestly, having it on GP would probably set it up well for a follow up - if they ever do again.

I thought someone in this thread (a while ago) had mentioned that Ember Labs had stated there's no plan "at this time" to port Kena to Xbox? Would love to be able to play it sooner, rather than later (aka whenever I get a PS5). This, Sifu, and F.I.S.T. are the three indies currently console exclusive to Sony platforms that I'd love to see on Xbox platforms (and even better yet, Game Pass).

I'm inevitably expecting Zero Time Dilemma and Danganronpa 3, even though I already own them elsewhere, to eventually hit Game Pass, but still excited for them as I have not yet played either!

Can't find that with a quick search. Think there's just been no news since the one interview. They were a little evasive when asked directly, but also, that's the nature of exclusivity deals.

In Sept 2021:
Q: Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a EGS timed exclusive! Any specific reason for that? Also, can you share the time for which it will stay Epic Games Store exclusive?
We are currently focused in our launches for PlayStation and Epic Games store, which are timed exclusives. We will look into other platform releases after launch and a rest.

Q: On consoles, the game is also a PlayStation exclusive, any chance that we might see it released on Xbox platforms down the road. Is it up to Sony to decide?
Right now, with just a few days to launch, it's very difficult to think about next steps or future offerings. We have been responding to the requests from the community as best we can. For example, we just announced a physical release and the addition of Russian and Brazilian-Portuguese.
