Elden Ring on Xbox Game Pass Was a Bug, Microsoft Says

Microsoft has confirmed that, while some users saw Elden Ring appear on Xbox Cloud Gaming as part of Xbox Game Pass, it was just a bug that has now been fixed.

That’s too bad it was a bug. Would’ve been interesting.

GoodGuy091373d ago

Huh. You'd think mcsft would really want the game on there and pay huge amounts. Especially with how underwhelming a year this is for xbox. They also have a good relationship with bandai (and I'm surprised tales of arise hasn't gone there yet also).

It's almost like From Soft would rather make money the traditional way, by making a good game and letting people pay for it directly/individually

MadLad1373d ago

There's not too many publishing companies who haven't taken their deals at this point. And that would be up to the publisher whether the game goes on there or not.

Microsoft still doesn't make money from GP. They can't just buy every game like they have in the past.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1373d ago

That doesn’t make any sense. Why would they invest in a game that came out earlier in the year and everyone who wants to play it already has. It’s one of the most highest selling games this year.

That would be a terrible investment for Microsoft at this point. They won’t make their money back on it.

Just buy the game cheap mofos

MadLad1373d ago

It's a subscription service.
Do you pay for Hulu and Netflix then run out and buy whatever movie or TV show on it that interests you?

They also offer discounts to any game leaving the service, and multiple devs have stated there's a significant sales bump after that period.

Aloymetal1373d ago

Buying games are not important anymore...
Services are the future...
Why buy AAA high quality full priced games when you can have sales bin subscription GaaS games.
And of course they want their service on everything. Like a parasite, they want to make money off the host.

MadLad1373d ago

I mean that's the way of the future.
Sony says they have a bunch of GaaS titles coming down the pipeline.
It was the main reason they paid billions for Bungie.

thesoftware7301373d ago

Does the same sentiment apply to PS+? Everyone lived Stray.

And Sony are developing 10 GaaS games....10!

I bet it's cool now lol.

@Sensorchip
Lol, nah dude you got it backwards, I have never been on that side of the fence and will never be.
I like to play great games every year, every gen and for the last 27 yrs PlayStation has never disappointed in that regard.

Of course it was. GP doesn't get current top-notch AAA multiplats.

why is that dumb? It's the same price everywhere else.

repsahj37d ago

Because it's Nintendo. Post negative first before analizing.

LiViNgLeGaCY37d ago

Because this is the ONLY version you can buy on the S2, correct? I don't think you can buy just the game for $60 like the other platforms. And if I'm wrong about this, then I take it back.

LiViNgLeGaCY37d ago

@repsahj - Dude, shut up. I like Nintendo a lot, actually. I just want the option to get the base game for $60 WITHOUT the DLC. I've done plenty of "analyzing".

Neonridr38d ago

Before anyone complains, this is the same price on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam. It comes with the Game and the DLC.

Elda38d ago

The game is $40 & the expansion is $40 so the price is right.

VersusDMC38d ago

The standard edition physical should have been 40 then with the expansion seperate. Why normalize 80 dollar games? Specially ports of old games.

If people accept this might as well make physical 80 dollar deluxe versions only.

repsahj37d ago

This $80 version is also available on PS5 and XSX.

VersusDMC37d ago

@repsahj

The ps5 has the standard version and the 80$ version so it gives you the choice...on switch 2 physical you can only buy the 80 dollar version.

I guess since they got the data that less than half of elden ring players beat the game and would probably not buy the DLC, they decided to just not make it an option and charge more...

GotGame81837d ago

Like it or not, the vast majority of game sales are digital. Just like movies, and music. At least Gamekey cards are shareable and you can sell them.
