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.
…and the winner is The Outer Worlds! Would never have guessed that from the wrapper.
Another Game Pass game. Pretty cool that it’s the definitive edition.
Completely missed it when I was trawling for colour matches, so a surprise to be sure. And the full Spacer’s Choice Edition too - nice one EGS!

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…
Will be interesting to give the game a try and see if it deserved the poor reception. Epic must have been able to get this deal on the cheap
CO-OP!
Oh ya I forgot that the saints games had coop!
