Devolver Digital Clarifies, Fall Guys Is Not Coming To Xbox Game Pass

There are no plans for Fall Guys to come to any form of Gamepass.

Remedy said the same thing about Control...

[Tacoboto]

"No plans" or "nothing to announce" in gaming marketing means absolutely nothing.
Nintendo denied DS Lite plans until the day before announcing. Microsoft avoided Series S even after controller packaging was being sold in stores.

If Among Us exists on PC Game Pass, of course this will come too. Eventually. Just like Control.

My question is... why wouldnt it come to xbox, or even the switch? It seems like Devolver could make some $$ off both platforms in the process. Add in crossplay and it could be an even bigger hit than it is.

Sony must have paid a pretty penny for exclusivity time.

[rdgneoz3]

@Colbertinator Before release, it wasn't really hyped up and it wasn't coming from a big name studio. It being a huge hit probably took many by surprise. If Sony did a year or so deal when they put it on PS+, they didn't have to pay much at all and got lucky.

They said that in December 2019 lmfao. I am fairly certain over a year ago Microsoft and remedy didnt go right let's get control on gamepass in 13 months time.

At the time there was no deal in place. This control deal probably was made in the last 2-3 months.

Gamepass seems good to consumers, but it devalue games so much, I am sure a lot of people would just subscribe for a month or two of gamepass when next AAA exclusive comes out. Imagine millions of money spent on making a game, and people create new account with $1 trial to play them.

[Darkborn]

Exactly, why try to make super innovative games to just put on game pass.thats why all the last few years of games from microsoft were trash. look at crackdown 3, one of Microsoft's latest "huge launch". I'm pretty sure ps3 games looked better.

[DerfDerf]

Crackdown 3 is actually a fantastic game and the graphics look great. Stop talking of games you clearly have never played.

[Tacoboto]

Gears 5 Hivebusters is a (short) quality campaign expansion that got announced and released to Game Pass a month later.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is among the best platformers of the gen. That studio in 2020 released to Game Pass, then to Switch, and put out a Series X patch for 120fps support.

Flight Sim exists. And is getting heavy post-release updates. Halo MCC had all of its games ported to PC throughout 2020 and had some of those improvements trickle down to console.

One gaming company vocally worries about "devaluing" themselves. That same company you all complain about for releasing full-price ports. Microsoft gives consumers the best value. You all complain about that too.

Y'all are worse than a date saying they're hungry but not that hungry so all they want is just a bite of your meal.

[MadLad]

Pretty sure we're going to see some pretty quality games from Obsidian, Bethesda, Arkane, Id, Turn 10, Playground, Rare, Machine Games, InXile, Ninja Theory, the Coalition.

I can continue if you want.
MS dropped the ball this gen, but they more than showed they picked it back up.

"Crackdown 3 is actually a fantastic game and the graphics look great"

HAHAHAHA who are you trying to kid here? graphics look "great'?? yeah, for a PS2 game, maybe! there are many PS3 games that look better than THIS!

No

MS advertising of games and gamepass needs to be better. If Starfield does release this year and say it is exclusive. They need to advertise the game first and gamepass second. Stop undermining the status of the AAA. AA is perfectly fine, but show off the game hype up the features, most importantly its a 70$ game not everyone on the planet wants xgp. Advertise it as a 70$ game first available on gamepass second. They're not hurting their service if they mention "oh it's on gamepass for 10$". Obviously not just Starfield but ALL of their future AAA's.

In some ways it does undermine AAA hype and production if you advertise gamepass first then the AAA product second second.

[Lionsguard]

This is why I'm a little iffy on Gamespass. Sure it's a great value for consumers but really at what long term cost? It could end up dooming many large AAA games for the future. On the other hand, I'm not a fan of Nintendo's approach either of rarely ever discounting their games no matter how old they are beyond a certain price.

[MadLad]

I'm tired of the "devalued" argument.
If the devs/publishers weren't making bank on the deals. Let alone thinking it would kill future sales in the process then, as a business - something that exists to make money - why the hell would they be taking these deals?

[northpaws]

Not everything fit to be a subscription services, it is not about who is taking the hit, even if MS is paying off everything as a lost, it basically changes everyone's mindset of how much a game should have costed. Think about early mobile gaming compare to what we have now, those games that we all needed to pay a few bucks for back then are far better than all these "free to play" games that we have now.

Let's say gamepass is successful for MS, become the next trend, but only they can sustain, then now what? We want every other consoles and studios out there to go under? Real gamers care about the health of the industry, if console gaming become shitty mobile gaming, because no one wants to pay anymore, then I will find a new hobby.

[Games1st]

Lol I'm not paying for it
