I mean it should be on Game Pass. It’s a first-party Xbox game now

Activision Games Will Start to Come to Xbox Game Pass in August
Several new reports have claimed that Activision games will start to come to Xbox Games Pass in August, starting with the N.Sane Trilogy.

Tony Hawsk 1 + 2 and Spyro Reignited trilogy are also coming, but not clear if they're all coming at the same time.

I want the entire Activision/Blizzard back catalog dropped at once.

Cool. Start bringing them Activision games! I’ve held off from buying games like Tony Hawk, waiting for them to hit game pass.

You waited 4 years to play a game that’s regularly on sale for £15?
That’s low energy.

Why waste money? With it coming to game pass, I can get to it eventually. Same reason I won’t pay for any of the EA titles ever again. They’ll eventually come to game pass.
I throw enough money away on food, beer and kids. Why add games to the mix. Especially if I might only play them for a few hours, get bored and go back to Vampire Survivors.

uses 'M$' - What year is it? Not 2002.
Also please give us that 4k upscale patch from the backwards compatibility team

4 years ago Microsoft hadn’t announced the ABK deal.
The game was £19.99 on sale digitally on Xbox platforms in 2021, ABK deal was announced in 2022.
So for a long period you had no way of knowing if this game would come to Game Pass at all and it was available to buy for cheap.
If you just don’t buy games and only play what’s on Game Pass, that’s your choice - but man that’s no way to live.

Ehhh. Buying games is for suckers.

The fact that we don't have a quick and dirty remaster of Wolfenstein 2009 announced is borderline criminal. Microsoft OWNS FUCKING EVERYTHING.

Make HD ports of lost kingdoms 1&2 you cowards 
Does Activision own these IPS? Or only publish them? I know from software made these games for GameCube, but I loved them!
Also FPS boost CTR & spyro trilogy please

Can they make these 60FPS on console please...? It's pretty ridiculous that they aren't already.

Waiting years for a game like THPS remake to arrive on a subscription service you pay monthly for instead of buying the game you actually want to on sale/used is definitely a lifestyle choice I could never make.

How exciting, they’re adding Crash which I’ve had on PS Plus for years already.

Not everyone is as smart as I am. It’s cool. No hard feelings.

I tried it on PS+. I was way worse at it than I remembered from back in the day. Would have to really dedicate some time to it. Ended up playing less than an hour. Happy I didn't buy it. I'll try it again on GP. Game hasn't really dropped below $20 also. A lot of Activision games hold their price for a while.

Truly one of the weirdest things to me. Don't care if people prefer sub services to play games, but sometimes it seems people will only play what's listed on there instead of playing games they are actually interested in. Kind of seems to defeat the purpose of the hobby.

Good! They should all come to Game Pass at some point soon. I thought that was the whole point of the acquisition. To make the games available to Xbox owners via Game Pass, to make them playable via xCloud through Game Pass Ultimate on any device, and to make the money from packaged and digital retail copies sold at the $60-$70 MSRP. If they aren't doing all of the above, I do not understand the benefit to Xbox owners of the acquisition of ABK.Activision Games Will Start to Come to Xbox Game Pass in August

Yeah, to be fair, literally the whole point of Game Pass is not needing to buy the game. I subscribe to Game Pass and also buy individual games as well, either on sale or occasionally new. But normally they are not games that are on Game Pass. As a Series X owner, I have zero reason to buy a game to play on my Xbox, if I already pay for access to the game on the subscription that I already have.
How that is a difficult concept to grasp is baffling to me.
For example, I bought Elden Ring at full price back in Feb 2022 and played it for over 80 hours. Had it launched directly into Game Pass, I wouldn't have bought it, possibly ever, but if I did it would have been months later, and only at a heavy discount.

More excited about the last two as I already own the Insane trilogy. Haven't played Tony Hawk in a long time.

That'd be sweet. I was playing Blur just yesterday. It still holds up.

Actually, Gears 2 and 3 for PC are first in that line.
BTW, I loved Spyro Trilogy so I hope this one clicks with me as well.

It's backwards compatible. You could probably buy the disc for $5. I got my disc thrown in with a 360 I recently bought.

You cant afford $10 for these games? Like how low of a sale do you need for you to wait 4+ years on some of the most fun and all 3 with so much content, it will last you longer than some RPGs. A phisical used copy you can find for $5, whats wrong with you? Also arent you paying 10 times more for gamepass lol to just play Vampire survivors? Your gaming strategy makes no sense.

I’m paying for a subscription for tons of games. Most games only last me a few minutes. I’d rather have access to 100+ games at any given time than waste $10-$15 on a purchase I may regret. The vast majority of games aren’t worth playing, and less are worth owning.

I don't want to pay money for them, I want to play it out of Game Pass. Hey, Microsoft is buying shit left and right, the LEAST they could do it is throw me a freebie.

The comments in this thread are hilarious. No one wants to actually pay for games anymore yet expect them to be great
