I did too.Yep, just bought the ultimate edition lol. I suppose I could ask for a refund but I’ll probably just keep it

That’s what I’m hoping! I’d feel better about that hahaSame here. I'm assuming the base game (non-XSX version without DLC) is what's coming to Game Pass.
Nope, only ultimate edition gets the upgradeIt's not a free upgrade for owners?
Wtf lolNope, only ultimate edition gets the upgrade
Wtf lol
Standard "non-ultimate" edition of Control confirm.ed.
Bummer that Mudrunner is leaving, hopefully we get Snowrunner at some point.
Oh good, makes me feel better about my purchase at least!Standard "non-ultimate" edition of Control confirm.ed.

Ultimate Edition is the only version that will be getting the next gen / ray tracing upgrade. You made the right choice!OMG, this is what makes Gamepass so awesome and infuriating at the same time. I just purchased Control and now its on GP, yeah, yeah I know I got the Ultimate Edition for dirt cheap but still. Watch the same happen to Maneater and SW; Squadrons because of course I just purchased those on sale too.

Pretty sure the publishers for the games are determining this, not Microsoft. But from a consumer perspective, it's Microsoft.The thing is, this latest sale before appearing on GP has happened to me more than once. Now I'm going to be cautious about any sale thinking it'll be on GP and I might lose out on a sale if the game doesn't appear. I'm sure this has happened to other gamers and If this keeps happening it'll blow up and MSFT will be accused of a sort of "Bait & Switch" practice for an otherwise great gaming service losing all the goodwill it's got since the inception of GP.
MSFT is in the driver's seat here. They determine when a game appears for sale on their store front and when a game appears on GP. And I don't think its a coincidence that a game appears on GP shortly after it was put on sale. Again, MSFT better be careful about this because it doesn't take a genius to link this together and make it appear bad for MSFT and in today's climate its impossible to determine what will blow up to epic proportions and hurt their brand so they should get ahead of this before media attention shines a light on this .Pretty sure the publishers for the games are determining this, not Microsoft.

I could be wrong here, but I still believe it's the publisher that determines if their game goes on game pass, unless of course MS contributed to the development of it.MSFT is in the driver's seat here.

Ohhh look, Greedfall is also coming and I purchased it about two months ago when it was also on sale. And I still haven't played it yet. Ok, its obvious I have poor impulse control when it comes to sales.
I'd also assume that in a mega-corporation like Microsoft, the team responsible for working with publishers on sales likely has little to no visibility into what's coming to Game Pass, and vice versa with the team involved with Game Pass. You regularly see games on Game Pass, Games With Gold , or PS+ on sale in the store at the same time they're free as not everyone is a member of these services.I could be wrong here, but I still believe it's the publisher that determines if their game goes on game pass, unless of course MS contributed to the development of it.
Wouldn't it be Remedy that puts the game on SALE (because they are looking for extra sales because they haven't pushed many copies lately), and wouldn't it be Remedy that offers their game on Game Pass (because they are looking for extra exposure or income as the sales decline of their title). I don't think MS can tell publishers they have to put their games on sale or put their games on game pass. I know that MS will "curate", essentially saying you can't put a title on Game Pass, or they can reach out to a publisher and say "hey, we think your game would be a great fit, if you are interested".
I could be wrong, but that is my understanding. But that is "behind the scenes". From the consumer end (those besides us core gamers), they won't know any better, and they will see that "Microsoft" is the one pulling the strings, and they will assume Microsoft is the one failing at the timing of the game release.
It was a while back but I remember reading about how games on digital storefronts are handled when it comes to sales. Basically a publisher gives the store front operator a timeframe or window that the game can appear for sale so the store front operator can include that game with others on sale. There are times when a huge game is put on sale and is highlighted by the store front operator.I could be wrong here, but I still believe it's the publisher that determines if their game goes on game pass, unless of course MS contributed to the development of it.

Haha, same here. I'm still likely going to pull the trigger on Watch Dogs Legion so I can see that ray tracing goodness, even though I'm already contending with a large group of games at once with Cyberpunk in the immediate future!But this doesn't explain my inability to ignore a sale for a games that I know I won't play because I'm busy with something else. So I basically need to learn some control and not jump on these sales just because I was mildly interested and the price is cheap. That's on me.
How did Xbox do in that analysis?Haha, same here. I'm still likely going to pull the trigger on Watch Dogs Legion so I can see that ray tracing goodness, even though I'm already contending with a large group of games at once with Cyberpunk in the immediate future!
I tried the Star Wars Squadrons trial included with EA Access last week. I thought it was fun (though i sucked and didn't really know what I was doing), and the graphics / performance were great. That said, I think I may hold off on that one for the time being. "Think" being the key word, Mandalorian has me kinda Star Wars obsessed at the moment.
Of course watching this Borderlands 3 next gen video analysis by DF has me wanting to finally pull the trigger on that too....
If it makes you feel better I purchased Maneater at full price, so I’m worse off than you if it hits gamepass lolOMG, this is what makes Gamepass so awesome and infuriating at the same time. I just purchased Control and now its on GP, yeah, yeah I know I got the Ultimate Edition for dirt cheap but still. Watch the same happen to Maneater and SW; Squadrons because of course I just purchased those on sale too.
Watch Dogs is a fun game and if it wasn't because of another certain Ubi title that awakened the inner Viking within me I'd still be playing it. Squadrons looks fun, like you I only played the trial but it was enough for me. Plus it was on sale for really cheap like $25 or something like that so no regrets.Haha, same here.

Guess this happens to all of us if you're a gamer for long enough.If it makes you feel better I purchased Maneater at full price, so I’m worse off than you if it hits gamepass lol
