Outriders could be coming to Xbox Game Pass - here's why

Microsoft has announced that Square Enix Outriders could be coming to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The Xbox Game Pass Twitter account shared one of its familiar spoofed emails from Melissa McGamepass, which often reveal when a branded title makes its way to Microsoft's subscription service. In the past, fans have determined that Doom Eternal and Control are heading to Xbox Game Pass with some pretty straightforward detective work, and this time around, the consensus is that Outriders could be the next game on the way.

There's probably a clue to a game in here somewhere, honestly we can't even track down all the announcements lately pic.twitter.com/Qz6LmX1Cs4 March 12, 2021 More Info The last line of the McGamepass email (which, to be clear , doesn't really exist) said: "Has anyone noticed a mysterious signal appearing in the distance lately or am I there? An anomaly in this situation?" This has led many to speculate that Outriders will be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia on April 1, as the game's story revolves around finding the source of a mysterious sign. . If that wasn't enough, the Outriders demo (which you can download now) includes a mission that allows players to escape from an "anomaly."

Play, gamer

Microsoft recently added 20 Bethesda games to Xbox Game Pass to celebrate its multi-billion dollar acquisition of parent company ZeniMax Media. If Outriders does come to Xbox Game Pass, it will be another boon for a service that some consider to be the best deal on gaming. The move could also greatly help the Outriders' long-term future. The cooperative raid shooter space can be extremely difficult to break into, especially when the Outriders clash with Destiny 2, Borderlands 3, and The Division 2, all of which have established and dedicated player bases. If Outriders is on Xbox Game Pass, the game can reach massive audiences on day one, which is crucial for online multiplayer titles. Microsoft announced that there were over 18 million Game Pass subscribers in January 2021. We imagine that number has only increased since then, especially now that future versions of Bethesda are guaranteed to launch on Game Pass from day one. Today's best Xbox Game Pass deals
