[u/regenschirm87]

YES BATTLEFIELD

[u/BestRedditUsername9 → u/regenschirm87]

Surprised that it was added to gamepass before Split Fiction despite both being from EA

[u/OdriscollAgall2006 → u/BestRedditUsername9]

Me and my gf are patiently waiting for split fiction lol

[u/Derwurld → u/OdriscollAgall2006]

Seriously what's taking so long lol

[u/regenschirm87 → u/OdriscollAgall2006]

game is great! BUT that orbitars or what it's called looks AMAZING! sadly nintendo exclusive 😑

[u/BestRedditUsername9 → u/regenschirm87]

Nintendo third party exclusives tend to be timed thankfully

[u/regenschirm87 → u/BestRedditUsername9]

now that would be fantastic!

[u/scooter-411 → u/regenschirm87]

Split fiction is better. Orbitals was A LOT of fun, but there’s a lot of wonkiness, and probably a quarter of the game is “one player drives while the other shoots,” so split fiction is just more creative.

[u/urgasmic → u/OdriscollAgall2006]

for what it's worth. it's the only EA game not on EA Play Pro. You'll be waiting for a while I feel.

[u/regenschirm87 → u/BestRedditUsername9]

i bought it on release day, because hazelight delivers

[u/scooter-411 → u/regenschirm87]

Yeah, they’re one of those studios I’m happy to support early. Not preorder early, but day one on everything they’ve put out since A Way Out.

[u/r0bdawg11 → u/regenschirm87]

Let the noob harvest begin!

[u/owensoundgamedev → u/regenschirm87]

I was SO close to buying it lol

[u/senna98 → u/Turbostrider27]

Some big losses

[u/VulcanHullo → u/senna98]

Guess my wife and I are gonna have to commit to buying Expedition 33

[u/zedemer → u/VulcanHullo]

Got it on game pass and finished it. Went out and looked for a physical copy, though had to wait a few months. Got the steel edition. Great game

[u/smokybbq90 → u/senna98]

My 5yo loved Donut County

[u/Conflict_NZ → u/senna98]

It has definitely felt like the last six months we are losing a lot of great games while getting not as good indie replacements.

[u/IshwarBL → u/senna98]

I’d imagine some of those are doing this to dip into the Halloween sales and they’ll be back on sometime after.

[u/ZigZagLax44 → u/Turbostrider27]

Highly recommend Crime Scene Cleaner before it leaves, it's better on PC, but it's a unique and satisfying game to complete!

[u/traceitalian → u/ZigZagLax44]

Some of the worst acting and writing I've ever seen.

[u/ZigZagLax44 → u/traceitalian]

I didn't pay much attention to it, I found the gameplay fun enough to look over the plot which seemed like an afterthought anyway lol

[u/segagamer → u/ZigZagLax44]

Why is it better on PC, what makes it so satisfying to complete?

I fell for the trap of Power Wash Simulator and didn't enjoy it - I figured this was more of the same?

[u/DaKrazie1 → u/segagamer]

Well if you don't like Powerwash, you're not gonna like Crime Scene Cleaner, so best to just find something down your alley lol

[u/segagamer → u/DaKrazie1]

I figured. Alright thanks lol

[u/ZigZagLax44 → u/segagamer]

I liked this way better than Powerwash, Crime Scene is a lot more forgiving with the cleaning tools especially after upgrades while Powerwash felt like I needed to get EVERY little speck.

[u/North_Tip_3364 → u/Turbostrider27]

Battlefield 6 on my birthday hell yeah

[u/AstronomerIT → u/Turbostrider27]

Damn Valor Mortis too soon. My backlog hurts

[u/T1AORyanBay → u/Turbostrider27]

Ouch, E33 leaving is painful. Was hoping to do a second play through at some point.

[u/SkywardPhoenix → u/T1AORyanBay]

Then buy it?

[u/Tobimacoss → u/SkywardPhoenix]

Buying games? What's that?

/s

[u/SkywardPhoenix → u/Tobimacoss]

A wild and outrageous concept but I was feeling brave

[u/Left-Unit7886 → u/T1AORyanBay]

It's only been in there a year

[u/DaKrazie1 → u/Left-Unit7886]

Year and a half.

It got added to Premium or whatever back in April so I thought we'd have until next April. Guess it was just 6 months. 😭

[u/Interesting-Quit8017 → u/Turbostrider27]

why is plague tale leaving?

[u/DopplerEffect93 → u/Interesting-Quit8017]

It comes and goes on Game Pass. I believe it was a day 1 title when it came out. It will likely be back again

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/Interesting-Quit8017]

Because whatever contract they signed with MS to have the game on the service is ending.

[u/Themetalenock → u/Interesting-Quit8017]

happened with the first one, a new plague tale usually heralds the end of the previous on gamepass

[u/Bolt_995]

Battlefield 6 being added onto Game Pass just 10 days before the release of their very own Modern Warfare 4

[u/LuckyRestaurant7744 → u/Bolt_995]

Doesn't the Ultimate subscription include EA Play? Maybe it's being added to EA Play which is why it's also included in BF6

[u/Tobimacoss → u/LuckyRestaurant7744]

Yes.  EA Play adds AAA games after 12 months from release.  

[u/BestRedditUsername9 → u/Tobimacoss]

Except Split Fiction it seems :(

[u/Tobimacoss → u/BestRedditUsername9]

Something fishy going on with that game.  Like the developer specifically asked EA not to add it.  

[u/a_talking_face → u/Tobimacoss]

It probably still has legs and they want to get more money out of it. The price has been very sticky on PC.

[u/BestRedditUsername9 → u/Tobimacoss]

Does Joseph Fares even have that kind of power lol

[u/Conflict_NZ → u/BestRedditUsername9]

Considering It Takes Two sold over 30 million copies, yes he does.

[u/lars_rosenberg → u/Conflict_NZ]

Wow, I didn't realize it sold SO well. I think it's also a game with a long tail of sales because anyone who's going to search for a couch co-op game will inevitably be recommended it as there aren't many other games in that genre that can match its quality. Split Fiction probability won't match the same numbers, but as far as I could find it's selling very well too, considering it probably didn't have a huge budget. Also, it appears to have sold more copies at launch, due to It Takes Two great reputation and its own merit too (great metacritic score), which means more copies at full price and high revenues.

[u/Tobimacoss → u/BestRedditUsername9]

Depends, if the publishing agreement has a certain clause.  

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/Tobimacoss]

Not exactly 12 months. Theres no set time frame and each game is a case by case basis.

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/Bolt_995]

Bf6 and CoD cater to different crowds. There is a lot of overlap, sure, but the latter is much larger in fanbase iirc.

[u/Bolt_995 → u/SpaceghostLos]

They went above and beyond with BF6 to ensure they successfully capture the COD market too (and succeeded), and a BF game outsold a COD game for the first time in 2 decades last year.

[u/2Kortizjr → u/Bolt_995]

I mean, it took one of the worse cod releases of all time to happen

[u/JSC843 → u/2Kortizjr]

Yeah, it was on gamepass too and people still didn’t want to play it.

[u/PHXNTXM117 → u/JSC843]

I know I didn’t lol!

[u/ExempliGratiaEG → u/JSC843]

Because it was a horrible cash grab. Anyone with common sense knew Black ops 7 after 6 the last year was the same situation as MW3 after MW2 a couple years ago.

[u/SpaceghostLos → u/Bolt_995]

Yeah, for sure. I do see a lot of similarities, though I much prefer the larger maps.

[u/InnerSilent → u/Bolt_995]

Game is unfortunately dogshit now.

[u/Hawvy → u/InnerSilent]

It’s awful. It’s no longer the Battlefield it use to be.

[u/TheNameIsFrags → u/Hawvy]

How so?

[u/d0m1n4t0r → u/TheNameIsFrags]

Tries too hard to be CoD, lost the BF identity completely.

[u/TheNameIsFrags → u/d0m1n4t0r]

They absolutely messed up with the lack of large maps at launch, but they’ve since rectified that issue. Almost every post-launch map has been medium or large. It still has everything a typical Battlefield should. Best destruction in the franchise, combined arms warfare with tons of vehicles, a mix of small/medium/large maps, the class system…

The only really unforgivable thing missing is a server browser, which is finally coming this season.

[u/Evening_Pay2363 → u/TheNameIsFrags]

Finals beats BF destruction tho lol

[u/TheNameIsFrags → u/Evening_Pay2363]

Which is why I said best in franchise, not gaming

[u/KesMonkey → u/d0m1n4t0r]

I've been playing BF for over 20 years, and BF6 still feels like BF to me.

Sure, it doesn't feel exactly like, say, BF4, but BF4 didn't feel exactly like BF3, and BF3 didn't feel exactly like BFBC2, etc.

The series has always evolved, and BF6 feels like BF in all the ways that matter.

[u/SquidwardsJewishNose → u/KesMonkey]

I like bf6, but it definitely went too far with the movement to cater to cod players, the sliding/ hopping is a bit much, i feel like the game would be much better with BF4/ BF1 movement

[u/d0m1n4t0r → u/KesMonkey]

I mean yeah I guess. I still yearn for BFBC2...

[u/CollegeFootballGood → u/Hawvy]

Yes it’s had a sad decline the past like 8 years

[u/weinbea → u/InnerSilent]

The game is great

[u/Cautious-Dot4143 → u/Bolt_995]

The worst COD game in two decades lol BO6 sold more in ten days than BF6 has sold to date, almost a year later

[u/Greenzombie04 → u/SpaceghostLos]

newest CoD wont be on Gamepass while BF6 goes to gamepass is going to hurt Microsoft.

[u/SkinBintin → u/Greenzombie04]

How? GoD fanbase is monolithic and a BF game being on game pass will do little to dampen CoD sales.

They attract different player bases for the most part.

[u/Texassunmerheat → u/SpaceghostLos]

This, I hated how BF and “journalist” were saying things like “this is the CoD killer we needed!” or shit like that. One is a military casual sandbox and the other one is an arcade shooter. People that play BF will most likely not play CoD and vice versa

[u/ursire → u/Bolt_995]

standard EA Play addition time (1 year after release of non yearly releases, ~8 month for yearly sports games)

[u/Tobimacoss → u/ursire]

6 months for indies, sometimes 9 for sports games.  Split Fiction dropped through the dimensional crack.  

[u/its_ghaba → u/Bolt_995]

Meh, I like both games for different reasons. Battlefield will never compare to the COD small map experience and COD Ground War will never compete with the Battlefield large map sandbox experience. Feel like a lot of FPS players are likely in a similar mindset. Also I think it’s just a time thing. Battlefield 6 is quickly approaching 1 year since release and since it’s an EA title it’s getting added.

[u/JP76 → u/Bolt_995]

Isn't it coming because EA Play is included in Game Pass Ultimate? Battlefield 6 was released on October 10th last year, so BF coming to EA Play was expected to happen around this time. I'm sure EA timed it strategically, but that's something Xbox can't really do anything about.

[u/BestRedditUsername9 → u/Bolt_995]

I suppose it's a nice compromise.

Gamepass subscribers who wanna play a big multiplayer shooter can play Battlefield 6.

But if you wanna play COD, you have to buy it

[u/Plutuserix → u/Bolt_995]

Yeah, that's EAs call. Its added through their own EA Play service that's included in Ultimate and PC.

[u/Apprehensive_Law1458 → u/Bolt_995]

Yeah that timing is insane

[u/xsonwong]

Bluey, yes!

[u/Illustrious_Fish_534]

Your welcome, I have just bought BF6 some weeks ago 😭😭💀😆

[u/JVKExo]

Valor Mortis lets gooooo

[u/RS_Games]

Fyi, expedition 33 is about ~37 usd currently

[u/CannedNoodlez]

Oh nice I was looking forward to Valor Mortis

[u/glenninator → u/CannedNoodlez]

Same. Playing this for sure.

[u/Tobimacoss]

Premium not getting much, lol.  

[u/JesterMarcus → u/Tobimacoss]

Was thinking the same, probably trying to drive people to Ultimate. Makes me wonder if they eventually want to do away with Premium.

[u/Firm-Barracuda-6742 → u/JesterMarcus]

for the last couple waves premium got almost everything dude this is the first time in a long time where majority of the games were ultimate only or ultimate and pc only

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/Tobimacoss]

I have no idea what the difference is between the tiers. Once they got rid of gold and changed the names it just all became too confusing to care to keep track of. I don’t even know which tier I pay for. I’m assuming not premium since I get every game that’s added.

[u/Either-Ad-1263]

I knew it , i bought battlefield 6 last week for this , You’re welcome 🥹

[u/SillySinStorm → u/Either-Ad-1263]

Ask for a refund citing the GP addition .....

[u/mulder00 → u/Either-Ad-1263]

Why? EA games come to Gamepass 1 yr after release.

[u/FrozenRage1989]

Neon Abyss 2! I'll end up buying it cause I loved the first one. 

Also if you want to hate yourself give BF6 a try, signed a BF6 player with way too many hours who keeps coming back 🙃

[u/St_Sides]

Everyone is taking about Battlefield 6, and while I’m for sure checking it out I’m stoked for Forever Ago.

I love these little sad indie games.

[u/Radiant-Fly9738]

battlefield 6 yes!

[u/RheimsNZ]

BF6, great. Very impressed with it and I'd love for more of my mates to jump on

[u/Leather-Doctor4458]

So excited for battlefield 6 i remember playing all i could out of the open beta they had

[u/nicisdeadpool → u/Leather-Doctor4458]

Unfortunately the game isn’t really as great as the beta as backwards as it sounds. I hope you enjoy it.

[u/zUnHoLySkittle → u/nicisdeadpool]

Wrong

[u/Rancub]

Will Batttlefield have achievements for Xbox PC since it is on PC?

[u/Tobimacoss → u/Rancub]

Nope, it's not Play Anywhere.  

[u/AFT3RSHOCK06 → u/Rancub]

All EA PC games on Game Pass force you to install and play them through the EA launcher, which has its own achievements. Unfortunately, they don't sync with Xbox achievements like EA games do with Steam achievements. Still holding out hope Xbox PC implements it like Steam at some point.

[u/Tobimacoss → u/AFT3RSHOCK06]

They can't, different dev environments.  EA has to create proper XPA titles, likely with the unified GDK.  

[u/VegetableLasagna_]

Literally just bought battlefield 6 jfc.. annoyed

[u/AcceptableEgg5741]

Battlefield will be added to gamepass but no ea play?

[u/HotDogStruttnFloozy]

Why do 90% percent of new games have the description of "roguelike" and soulslike?" Its tiring

[u/mightylordredbeard → u/HotDogStruttnFloozy]

People always complain about “oh another soulslike”, but I’ve been so sick of every decent looking game ending up being done variation of a rogue-whatever. It’s been that way for YEARS now. There are 1000s of rogue-whatevers and it sucks because the art style and gameplay of so many look great, but I hate losing progress when I die and clawing for tiny improvements over multiple deaths.

[u/mulder00 → u/HotDogStruttnFloozy]

agreed

[u/HotDogStruttnFloozy → u/mulder00]

I understand games aren't made just for me, but I see a ton with interesting descriptions and then they have those tags and I'm just turned off. Yeah git gud and all that, don't care.

[u/HotDogStruttnFloozy → u/[deleted]]

Did you take my comment and put it into chatgpt?

[u/ExempliGratiaEG]

I wasted money on Battlefield buying it when it dropped and didn't even really play it. Now i'm sad.

[u/grossnerd666 → u/ExempliGratiaEG]

Same, I bought it a month or so ago, played it like twice and haven't played it since. Wish I just held out a bit longer 😭

[u/joeivo911]

How is battlefield 6?

[u/FutureEditor]

I honestly had no idea Neon Abyss had a sequel - I enjoyed the first one a lot on gamepass, it's good if you also have the constant rougelite itch to scratch

[u/BCupo]

Anyone know if you can use your steam progression on the xbox version of bf6?

[u/PixlCreative]

Most excited neon abyss 2

[u/Exciting_Drawing_553]

Great drop!!

[u/wingsfan416]

What are the chances Star Wars Zero company gets added? I’ve had my eye on that one, but trying to hold off on purchasing in hopes that it will come to Gamepass

[u/lovejamluv → u/wingsfan416]

Buy it and support the dev?

[u/Puzzleheaded_Fish_78]

Battlefield 6 coming to PC Gamepass? Nice!

[u/Murky_Historian8675]

Damn, expedition 33 leaving? Man I love playing that game on my Razer Edge

[u/LandscapeHappy190]

Neon Abyss sequel?

Love love love

[u/Gabrielsoma]

valor mortis

Valar morghulis

[u/Sweaty_Buttcheeks]

Got over 1000 hours in BF6. Can't wait to feast!!

[u/Either-Ad-1263]

I knew it , i bought battlefield 6 last week for this , You’re welcome 🥹

[u/Gcheetah]

Fuck Pacific Drive is leaving. How long does it take to beat?

[u/jstuff29]

Losing Exp33, Evil West, and the Plague Tale sequel all at the same time still hurts.

[u/rayk10k]

Woah BF6 is hype I’m finally gonna try it

[u/Rufus2fist]

Aw shit I might have to resubmit just for battlefield for a month until GTA absorbs my world

[u/Tobimacoss → u/Rufus2fist]

What are you resubmitting?

[u/christpuncher_69]

Is Forever Ago that one game from one of the last couple showcases that looks like an absolute emotional wrecking ball?

[u/IllustriousBar1440]

Bruh compared to what we lose what we get is not at all worth it for the last few months.

[u/Yaranatzu → u/IllustriousBar1440]

I mean we got Halo campaign evolved day 1, Plague tale day 1, beasts of reincarnation day 1, Gears E-day day 1. The value is still there.

[u/mo-par → u/IllustriousBar1440]

If youre not happy with the games theyve added in the last 3 months then just unsub cuz you dont like gaming that much

[u/MasterMidir → u/mo-par]

Was gonna say the same, why subscribe to a service you're gonna whine about?

[u/IllustriousBar1440 → u/mo-par]

Dude it's 22$ rn. We got e33, plague tale, evil west, crime scene leaving this month. Last month we lost cp2077, sifu, dead cells, mullet madjack and so on. And they screwed over cloud too.

[u/mo-par → u/IllustriousBar1440]

What? Weve got tons of good games

Gears eday, MD2, resonance pt, dune, runescape, halo, hell is us, denshattack, rv there yet

Just to name a few in the last 3 months

[u/IllustriousBar1440 → u/mo-par]

Idk mb ig. Recent months it felt like a lot of good ones left. I'm not complaining that the new ones are bad but compatitively we are losing a lot of good ones. And they should of atleast given a price cut for the cloud limits.

[u/bonelatch]

I just bought BF6. Requested a refund I probably wont get. Pissing me off man.

[u/kcirbukhcnyl → u/bonelatch]

Get good

[u/IamJustDavid]

Coming to XBOX: Layoffs. Xbox is "streamlining" themselves right out of the gaming-space.
