    Jedi Survivor is (almost) here, Lawbreakers (probably) isn't coming back and Hi-Fi Rush may not have had the success it deserves.

      Cancelled Game Pass now switched my XBox series X on in weeks after playing Atomic Heart, I don't miss it, it will likely gather dust until something decent comes out at the end of the summer.
      I wouldn't recommend anyone buy an Xbox they have to many negative issues lately.

      Hey Shill Up...big fan...but note that Game Pass does not have more games than PS plus. It has more downloadable games (if only marginally). It also has more day one releases. But it has less games by a considerable margin. The downloadable and day one might be important to someone, but that doesn't make this statement correct.

    I don't know why people are talking about Hi Fi Rush like it was supposed to be this big unit mover. It's a new IP shadow dropped onto Game Pass. It got less marketing than Ghostwire Tokyo! Considering the circumstances I'm not sure what else the game could have done.

    Clarification about the Star Wars Battlefront 3 thing. I'm fairly certain that he was talking about the one being published by Lucas Arts back like 10+ years ago. That one was so close to being done that a fully playable build of the game was snatched up by a digital archive to prevent it from being destroyed following the EA deal (iirc, the time frame is a bit weird). It was famously canned during the final round of QA, and was basically done.

It could be the same gameplay and art style with a different setting and characters. It would be cool and keeps it fresh. As much as I love the game, %90 of the environments were white lab walls. It'd be really cool to see different locations since we didn't get much in the way of level design.

    Sad to hear about hifi rush. I'm subscribed to both gamepass and ps plus. It doesn't happen much, but it was one of the few games I loved so much I went and bought it. Even if I have it "free" through GP. Since it wasn't $60-$70, I went ahead and bought the deluxe edition to show my support. Did the same with The Messenger when i played it on ps plus. I really wanted those games to succeed. Maybe in the future, hifi rush will get rediscovered and fan support for it blows up.

    I work in marketing and I 100% believe that there's disagreement internally at Microsoft over whether or not Hi-Fi Rush gave them good ROI. This is a huge company with a lot of older dudes working in powerful positions that literally just don't understand metrics beyond sales and revenue numbers. The game likely didn't sell many units or make that much money but that clearly wasn't the goal. For driving new GamePass subscriptions, user retention, and share of voice, I'm sure the game did awesome.
