I think Ubisoft releases Ubisoft + on Xbox and it doesn't grow as fast as they hope, in part due to Game Pass competition being much better value and having a lot more content, so they release a basic tier version which is similar to EA Access and they slap it onto Game Pass to leech onto it for rapid growth, I'm fairly confident this is what happened with EA Access too.

Also it already leaked they were planning tiers: Ubisoft introducing tiers to Ubisoft+ service (altchar.com)

A basic tier is the only way I can see it ever happening.

EA Access on Xbox was announced in 2014, it came out before gamepass existed and was always the basic tier. The $15 EA Access tier has never been available on console.

Damn Drinkbox I thought historically worked with PS. Guacamelee that is was a PS timed exclusive. Wasn't a big fan of Guac 2 (game pissed me off for some reason).

Dat Game Pass money.

A lot of these timed exclusives I think are just "Well Xbox is giving us money for Game Pass so lets prioritise there"

If only MS would do this to Shi(a)tlus games :/

SE really is a scummy bootlicking company. Imagine wanting your game to be held by one single platform lol. Money talks though.

Well, the dream is dead guys. A VGC (the other VGC) journalist is claiming that Sony and Square made a deal to make the Final Fantasy mainline series fully exclusive to Playstation moving forward. Said not to expect FF7R or FF16 to ever release on Xbox Series. Screw Sony and Square and honestly screw Phil too for not using his giant MS wallet to at least ensure the FF games are multiplat via pricey day one gamepass deals on late ports.

Let them have it.  With future titles being filled with NFTs, the interest in them has died down for me.  Don't need that cancer spread everywhere.

Mainline FF hasn't been good in over a decade...excuse me for not shedding a tear over their absence.

Yeah I mean I still haven't played 7 remake. I'll be getting 7 remake and 16 when it's $20 bargain bin on PS I guess; fuck supporting SE at full price. As long as DQ 12 isn't exclusive (probably will be), I got more excitement for DQ 12 then I do FF 16 tbh.

I'm not even excited with the rumor claiming Square is still committed to PC because all their PC ports for years now have been AWFUL! And its all culminated to their worst port yet in FFVII Remake. Plus they're willing to take in Epic's money to make FF and Kingdom Hearts exclusive to EGS, so screw Square!

Do you guys even want new FF games. If they weren't called Final Fantasy, who would even bother.

I do wonder if Microsoft will make a pitch to Square to purchase both studios, or at least Crystal Dynamics. I'm still convinced Crystal co-developing Perfect Dark is a test run to see if the studio would be a good fit within Xbox.
