Not exactly subtle. Just announce it.

 

[kevboard]

hey, the good news would also be that it will then probably go into the play anywhere program, so anyone who owns the Xbox version also has it on PC after that

 

[Artistic]

A game I been wanting to play, just haven't gotten around to it.

AI and marketing are like "You know what would be funny? Melissa McGamepass!", "GENIUS!".

 

[Loomy]

Not exactly subtle. Just announce it.

They really need those new marketing hires.

 

[Elbereth]

Better late than never I suppose.

 

[KanKamAndNob]

I guess there's a lot of people who really wanted to play CyberBitch but didn't have the opportunity after 6 years of sales, discounts, etc.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Wow an ancient game, awesome.

 

[ReasonBeing]

Is there precedent for such a move? Have there been other games that were switched over to play anywhere when brought into game pass?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

I've been waiting for a heavy hitter to hit refund pass.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Asha delivering already

 

[cireza]

The game is regularly sold at less than the price of a month of Game Pass...

It was on PS+ already last year too. I think this is the saturation point now.

 

[Aion002]

So I guess the game will become a play anywhere title like it happened with RE8 and Kingdom Come 2.

 

[uncreativename]

This seems like the best way to do it, if you're going to at all. Release on Gamepass years and years after everyone has already played the game so you can get that Microsoft $$$ without losing any sales

 

[bender]

McGamepss?

 

[Zacfoldor]

Melissa McGamepass

So I guess the game will become a play anywhere title like it happened with RE8 and Kingdom Come 2.

 

[semiconscious]

but melissa mcgamepass is one of their new hires...

well, CDPR is generally very pro consumer and they aren't yet on the Microsoft Store on PC,
when going into PC game pass they would need to add their game to the Microsoft Store, and it would be very pro consumer to make it play anywhere with that step.

so, I simply assume they'll do that.

but I think there have been some older titles that weren't on the Microsoft Store in the past and became play anywhere retroactively.
maybe Resident Evil 7? I think that's one where it happened

Exactly lol!!!

 

[ReBurn]

I got it for Switch 2 when CDPR screwed up the discount and I've started it again like 5 times already

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Man, I still haven't played this for more than 20 minutes. And I've tried like a dozen times.

I suppose it's just another Game Pass game at this point. This would've been cool like…5 years ago lol

AI and marketing are like "You know what would be funny? Melissa McGamepass!", "GENIUS!".

That it's a rather uninspired marketing tactic is beyond dispute, but it's clear when you can identify people who don't follow or know about GamePass and the way they've been announcing game releases for the service.
Melissa McGamepass is an "idea" from four years ago, and now (for whatever reason) they've brought it back...

The game is regularly sold at less than the price of a month of Game Pass...

Exactly lol!!!

Cyberpunk will be just one more of the games arriving this month in two batches every two weeks. It's not like what you pay for the month is only for CP.

That monthly fee covers Cyberpunk, the remaining ~12-17 games included this month, games from recent months, the entire accumulated catalog (including permanent first-party games), and a 10% savings on each purchase.

PS. Perhaps the relevance given to it has more to do with its arrival in the Playanywhere catalog.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

I like when they bring games like this to GP that I already own on PC so I can play it on my console too with crossplay.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

What a get one cannot believe it

 

[PauloRoberto]

Wow... like more than 6 months AFTER the same game was on PS Plus... MS if showing the Catch 22 of Game pass

It's too expenssive for older games, and it's not viable for new games.

 

[BigLee74]

A great game if you haven't played it I guess!

 

[Don Carlo]

 

[Knucklepux]

This is the lame shit…. Look if you haven't played Cyberpunk in the 6 years it's been out. You clearly don't give a shit about it.

Getting excited about this and making it this big announcement is corny and way out of touch

Spare me the "I didn't get around to playing it"… that's because you don't care too
