Well now. I’ve considered buying both Spelunky 2 and The Outer Wilds in the last 6 months, so this is a welcome addition.
Sucks that I’ve had Desperados installed for just as long and haven’t touched it…
Woop! Spelunky 2 is amazing. Tough as nails but oh so good.
Oooh a nice selection of games I’ve wanted to play (Gorogoa, Outer Wilds, The Pedestrian, Spelunky 2… Mass Effect if I have the time). I tried playing the Outer Wilds on the Xbox but the 30fps framerate was too much to bear for my PC master race eyes…
When I saw that Desperados was soon leaving I downloaded it and started playing yesterday and I’m glad that I did. Absolutely loving the game! I’m sure I’ll be able to finish it before the 15th.
You’ve missed out! One of the best games I played over the last couple of years.
And Mass Effect being one of the best games I’ve never played, or so I’m told.
I care not for Rainbow Six, but does this mean I’ll be able to play Anno 1800 again on PC through Game Pass??? Be ause that’s the best news ever!
Correction, I read that wrong. Ubisoft+ is coming to Xbox, not game pass. I’ve tempered my excitement.
I don’t think it will be part of GamePass. Either a separate sub or maybe a new tier of GamePass including Ubi+. Although we already have GP Ultimate. What can they possibly call a higher tier?
Ultimate+ obviously . In bold and italics for that super plus effect.
Follow up Tweet confirming what @Wlad suggested would be happening - it’ll be a separate subscription…
And based on Ubisofts inability to ever regionally price anything and insistence on charging us in Euros, I hesitate to get too excited about it. Let’s wait and see what the cost will be.
(For reference, an Ubisoft+ subscription is still the price it was launched at: €14.99 / about R270 per month at the current exchange rate.)
I really feel that Ubisoft games in general are not really suitable for a subscription service - especially as expensive as Ubisoft+. So many of their games are grossly padded out that they take hundreds of hours to complete, meaning that you’ll use up 2-3 months sub on one game rather than some of the shorter experiences on Game Pass where you can play 2-3 games per month, resulting in much better value for the customer.
Xbox and Game Pass pumping out the news today - no flies on them. Another Day One Release coming to Game Pass on 18 January:
Hitman Trilogy coming to Game Pass 20 January!
Pro tip: play Spelunky 2 now!
Oh wow, that makes me happy! Was waiting for hitman 3 to come to Steam, but now it’s free!
