Xbox Game Pass - Botany Manor, LEGO 2K Drive, Diablo 4, Hot Wheels 2, Evil West, Control:UE, Dead Island 2 out now

I'd been holding out on Doom Eternal to drop under £20 on PC, but if it's coming to Gamepass I'll just jump in there. Wonder if it'll come to PC Gamepass as well or just Xbox.

It's funny as Dishonored 2 is leaving Game Pass next week!

I guess there's no chance of that happening for the Series X/S launch? I think the deal being finalised will take 6 months+, a bit like the Disney purchase of Fox.

The fox thng was drawn out beacuse of anti monopoly stuff, I dont think thats will apply here so the sale should be wrapped up much quicker.

I think Doom 64 is the only thing in that list I haven’t already got. So that’s nice.

Agreed, i think the overall takeover will be much longer but adding titles to Gamepass shouldn't be that bad, if anything it's just a case of ticking a box or something in their databases to allow onto Gamepass. (Probably a little more complex turning things on and off for Gamepass shouldn't be that hard as they're all digitally available already).

I would be interested to find out a date for when existing Bethesda stuff might find its way onto Game Pass.

If they can get that package together for on or close to the Series X/S launch then it is a very tempting addition to the already impressive day 1 Game Pass offering!

You can bet most of them will get green lit to be upgraded too. Fallout 3 is already 4K on One X but not New Vegas!

Out of interest, when you guys play games on GamePass and enjoy them, do you ever tend to buy them? Particularly ones that get cycled out of the service.

No, I always have a frantic rush to get them finished, which is always fun. :dread:

No...but I often get a weird desire to play a game that has just been cycled out.

I've not done it yet but been tempted a few times. The discount for buying games that are about to leave is a nice touch

If Streets of Rage 4 leaves I'll probably buy it.

Random question - but I already have Destiny 2 downloaded - will I have to download it all over again (100gb yikes) if I want to play the Gamepass version with all the extra content that comes with Gamepass?

Nope.

EDIT - Destiny 2 is free to play anyway, it's only the added DLC that Game Pass gives you.

Shadowkeep & Forsaken were only 10mb download each after I had already downloaded the full Destiny 2.

Doom Eternal?

People are saying that the beginning letters of each sentence spell out "look below", but what are we meant to look for? Is there something hidden or soon to be hidden in the comments? Or are they already hinting at more within those comments?

There's some faint text that says THE SLAYER IS COMING.

Which would be Doom? So that's not really news.

Is there really? I guess that means the Bethesda stuff is dropping next month, then.
