That’s a pretty big giveaway. It seems that the colour of the wrapping is the clue.
Not sure about the next one… Satisfactory… Doubt that though.

Hmmm, some good guesses. A fair number of giveaways have been games on Game Pass. Art of Rally, Fallout 3 and Ghostwire Tokyo are either on or have been on Game Pass.

A somewhat surprising freebie for EGS today considering how new it is*:
Saints Row
Welcome to Santo Ileso, a vibrant fictional city in the American Southwest. In a world rife with crime, a group of young friends embark on their own criminal venture, as they rise to the top in their bid to become Self Made.
As the future Boss, with Neenah, Kevin, and Eli by your side, you’ll form The Saints – and take on Los Panteros, The Idols, and Marshall as you build your empire across the streets of Santo Ileso and battle for control of the city. Ultimately Saints Row is the story of a start-up company, it’s just that the business The Saints are in happens to be crime.
Experience the biggest and best Saints Row playground ever created; the unique sprawling world of Santo Ileso is the backdrop for a wild, larger than life sandbox of thrilling side hustles, criminal ventures and blockbuster missions, as you shoot, drive, and wingsuit your way to the top.
On the New Years’ Eve slate is this festive, date appropriate wrapping paper for tomorrow’s game:
* That said though, this reboot was not the rave reviewed critical success it was hoped it would be, so this may just be an attempt to get at least a few more people playing the game for a while…
