So it's not really day 1 gamepass. It's launching to paying customers first then game pass.
It's a thinly veiled attempt to extort money from fans and backpedal on their promises of game pass day 1 because ms has probably now realised there's money to be made on launch day.
Sadly people are not connecting the dots like for starfeild most people took early access at face value
Given the rough launch, Starbreeze intends to implement "some sort" of Payday 3 offline mode to fix the matchmaking issues.
Why are offline modes for online only games so rare ?
MMOs i get, but surely a game as compact as a FPS/TPS/(shooters in general) with objectives to fulfill could have an offline option with bots shipped day one. Instead the only times offline "might" be considered is if there are issues with whatever online implementation you're using.
Wccftech recently saw both sides of the Alan Wake 2 Remedy coin, with a chapter playthrough for each of the two playable protagonists.
Xbox Series has been doing better than the Xbox One so far, even with day one games in many platforms, including, PCs, TVs, Mobile, Tablets and Notebooks via XCloud. Not to mention lack of big first party games in 2021, unit shortages and global economy pandemic recession.
Things might improve for Xbox Series if the Xbox showcase turn out great.
Hopefully MS will deliver big time.
