** We get why people are upset that Outriders isn’t coming to PC via Xbox Game Pass. But downvoting this video because you don’t like that, isn’t far to us. We didn’t make that decision, nor do we have an influence on it. You disliking something out of control doesn’t help anyone **
While Xbox, Square Enix, and People Can Fly have announced that Outriders, the upcoming looter shooter will be available to play via Xbox Game Pass day one – but only for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series. This has obviously frustrated a number of PC gamers, as Xbox Game Pass for PC and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also provide acess to a vast number of PC games. So why is this happening? Why is Outriders only heading to Xbox Game Pass for consoles and not the PC? We have a good idea why and we break it down in this video.

If they start pulling this with more and more games, I'll likely not renew my game pass subscription. I don't use the xbox, so if PC aren't getting the same titles at the same times, they don't get my sub.
Steam is greedy !! Making money for doing nothing literally!
I was going to get Xbox games pass for PC for this game… but alas looks like I will just get the demo now and wait it out.
I wonder if it's worth canceling the preorder what if it leaves gamepass in a few months?
Wtf is this take?! Your argument as i understand it is, the product is not on gamepass for pc because it would cause issues "in the space" between microsoft and steam/epic? Gamepass whole design is to disrupt the marketplace with an alternative. Microsoft already has titles day one available that make purchasing on steam/epic irrelevant, why would mediocre Outriders be a problem? "Because reasons"? Gtfo.
Gamepass for pc is not free! We pay more for the games that other stores! almost 200 dollar a year!
i'm gonna cancel my ultimate gamepass! so they lost money now! ggs
Except there are many games that have released on the Game Pass while also releasing on Steam or Epic Store.
Its also not a free game, people are paying a subscription fee to play these games so Microsoft is either paying a ton of money for a licensing fee up front or they are offering a % of the sub fee based on how many hours a user plays that game a month.
In the end it is a lost for Outriders, those looking to play it on the Game Pass were likely never going to pay for the game in the first place which means they might have just lost out on tens of millions.
Extra work? They do not have to make a new game for the windows store… Games made for Xbox One and later are already UWP, all they would have to do is some minor changes to make the game work with the PC Xbox launcher. The biggest issue is servers, Epic, Steam, and Windows Store all use their own servers unless the game has its own servers which I believe Outriders does so there should be no problem in trying to sync all of the servers for PC but code the game to run on each server.
BTW they already had the game more or less completed in 2018, it was meant to release in 2019 so if what you believe is true about they didnt have time to for what ever reason make a new game for the Windows Store, why didnt they do it in the 17 months of free time they had?
err also if I am not mistaken UWP uses x32 APIs…UWP uses DX12
Sweet so SE is still the money grubbing cunts they always were. Bush league. Want to make games these days? Do the work on multiple platforms and make it fair across the board. Lame.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard lmao. If that is the case then they should not have any of the games on game pass pc which are available elsewhere with a price tag
I pay for the ultimate because I have a xbox to, but it's starting to become a problem when pc game pass apart of a hand full of games is worth. But if we consider we'll most of those games we can buy them with 6 months of game pass payments ( most of them are 15 to 20 euros games and we can find them shipper). If they don't do the same for pc, it's not worth.
This game runs like shit on xbox one its to glitchy to play
Think I'm going to cancel game pass now don't play it much anyway
I cant get it, we pay the same in pc but we dont have all the games
It is on xbox game pass 🤣🤣🤣
It is.. if you play on xcloud on PC 🙂
I think a big part of why people are mad about it, as well as myself, is the fact that microsoft hyped it up so much that it was coming to gamepass, and every other game thats been hyped for gamepass has come on pc and console. Then you add the fact that they delayed ea play coming to gamepass on pc THE DAY IT WAS SUPPOSE TO LAUNCH, and people start to question if they lured all these people to buy into the service, and then slowly start taking things away.
For me personally anyway, I really dont care too much about outriders. It seems like it would be a game that I would probably check out if it was included, but not one I would be willing to rush out and buy anyway. However, what raises questions for me is, is this going to be a slippery slope, or a sign of things to come to where they are gonna start introducing a tier system.
For example, if you have gamepass for pc, you will get alot of games, but certain newer or majorly hyped games will only be accessible if you have game pass ultimate, whether you have an xbox or not, basically forcing people into buying for live even if they only game on pc. Or they raise the price again to where if you want certain games, 15/month for pc 20 for ultimate.
They have already raised the price for gamepass on pc, as well as gotten rid of xbox live as a stand alone, and any yearly discount options. They have already tried doubling the price for xbox ultimate on console. Plus now that they have bought bethesda, and are clearly parting with EA with bringing in EA Play included, what is there ultimate gameplan? Rope people in then either start raising prices again, or do a teir system? I already seen it happen with EA. Back when it was orgin acess, it was 5 bucks a month, or 30/year and you got access to a TON of games. For the price sure it was worth it. Then they started with orgin premier, which was 15/month. All of a sudden most of the games that were included got pulled for the higher tier subscription. Now the base ea play subscription is hardly worth it, and I know I for one cancelled mine after the price raise.
Then when they did the name change from origin access to ea play, they did the same thing. Almost like origin was a beta test to see if people would subscribe, once they saw people did they did a bait and switch. all of a sudden your membership was heavily restricted unless you paid 3x as much for the same service you had been paying for.
So, its not exactly a far stretch to say that microsoft is doing the same. Draw a huge sub base in with a low price and great value, and then start offering everything they hype only on a higher "premium" subscription, to the point where for you to get any real value out of it, you have to pay that 15 or 20/month price, as opposed to what everyone is happy paying now. So while I dont really care about outriders, its that what starts to worry me a bit. And if thats their end game, I see alot of people canceling their subscriptions, especially on pc, me included.
My guess is that this is a money related on SE part.
Pc have games on game pass where xbox haven't aswell. Works both ways
This game doens't worth the price they are asking for real!
After completing the game I assure you guys that this game will NOT endure for game, ok storyline, bad mechanics, bad looting system, bad boss design, and bad endgame content, it's basically a game where you shoot multiple meat sponges that have a LOT of health but not any difficulty mechanic, plus, they all have the exactly same design, but with different colors.
