Also sounds like all new Bethesda games (aside from existing agreements like Deathloop) will be exclusive to Xbox/PC/Gamepass. Not exactly surprising but good to have it confirmed.

DrDamn

Gordon There might be a couple more contractual outliers - Indiana Jones maybe?

That’s a solid list of new stuff added to Game Pass with just a couple missing Dishonored: Death of the Outsider isn’t included yet, neither is Doom (2016). Possibly due to waiting for other contracts to expire.

Think I’ll start with Dishonored. Got half way through the first one back on the 360.

Didn’t even know Octopath Traveller was coming to consoles other than Switch.

Brave

That’s a surprise to me too. Really lovely game that. Very distinct art style.

Fumanstu

Octopath Traveller has been out on PC for a while now, think it did pretty well as it’s somewhat unique on the PC.

DrDamn

\o/

May the 4th apparently.

DrDamn

Not a huge amount there for console once you sift out the “Cloud” and “PC” ones.

Leaving soon …
Assetto Corsa (Cloud and Console)
Broforce (PC)
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 Remix (Console)
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (Console)
Surviving Mars (Cloud, Console, and PC)
Void Bastards (Cloud, Console, and PC)

DrDamn

Not one to want to miss out on the underwhelm-a-thon that is today MS have announced some new GamePass titles…

DrDamn having watched Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm on Prime, I’d play Farming Sim lol

Gammerz

Yeah, Farm Sim could be quite fun.

I saw an ad for Clarkson’s Farm program. He was actually apologising to Vegans and other groups he’s criticised in the past, having become emotionally attached to the animals that he’d tended and then took to slaughter.

Gordon

Gammerz Presumably he then punched someone for taking too long to bring him his steak.

BritishBean

Gammerz Gordon

Actually he then followed up with it wouldn’t stop him eating steak 😬

DrDamn

Coming soon …

Raji looks interesting - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-02-raji-an-ancient-epic-review-a-gorgeous-adventure-through-architecture-and-myth
Omno also looks good

Flight Sim and The Ascent are both biggies too.

Brave

Really love the look of Raji. I meant to buy it on switch. Might do that anyway just to support the dev.

DrDamn

Jonbwfc

Kind of surprising, thought Lumines Remastered had disappeared due to music licensing issues.

Brave

Art of Rally!

GassyHaggis

Brave Abso-freaking-lutely. Get on it everyone. Hades is the mutts nuts.
