Xbox teases the upcoming Square Enix and People can fly game Outriders can show up Xbox Game Pass via a series of cryptic tweets from his social media accounts.
As noted by our friends at Eurogamer, the latest tweets from the often cryptic people behind the Xbox Game Pass account basically stop saying that the Square Enix booty-obsessed cooperative RPG is coming to the subscription service.
In the latest installment of the account’s accounts, asks for a fake email from ‘Melissa McGamepass’ or ‘someone else recently noticed a mysterious signal appearing in the distance’. The answer is: “Am I the anomaly in this situation?” which led Redditors to believe that Outriders was coming to Xbox Game Pass, thanks to the wording and content of the email.
There’s no word on when the game will hit the service – if it’s actually due to it – but we’ll usually see the games being teased by the account hitting the service shortly thereafter (see Rainbow Six Siege and Control). The game launches on April 1st.
Recently we heard that Outriders may not be a live service, but that devs will not abandon it after the launch. Despite the number of players that may be attracted to the game if it does appear on Xbox Game Pass, Outriders will not have dedicated servers.
In the future, there are hints that Microsoft may offer a Spotify-like family plan for Xbox Game Pass – and why not? Microsoft has been constantly updating what Xbox Game Pass offers, adding game streaming and EA Play to the service since it was first announced. The latest figures shared indicate that Xbox Game Pass has at least 18 million users.
