Will it ever be possible? I'd rather not have to start all over again and lose all progress to play with friends who got it on gamepass.

It's a different version apparently, there's many issues on the Game Pass/Xbox version that is not on Steam.

Gamepass Version Outdated. Can´t Play with both versions as they differ

So why they dont update on gamepass?

This is my biggest issue with gamepass. Some games that release on it that were first on Steam do not receive the updates the Steam version gets. I don't have gamepass anymore but when I did it basically turned into a demo service where I'd try a game and if I liked it, would buy on steam.

This isn't the case for all but if you want the most recent updates in specific games then you need play the steam version of a game.

Probably because it's a completely different version of the game. Console ports are not easy to make. Lots of platform specific changes need to be made, both internally and user-facing. An update will probably come, but even then, playing between the two versions will probably not be possible. Underneath the name, to the computer, they're pretty much different games.
It WOULD be possible to make it compatible, but then they'd have to delay PC updates so that the Xbox and PC versions update at the same time, as well as do some extra work to ensure all scenarios work. Such as PC host and Xbox client. Xbox host and PC client, etc.

Just remember, when it comes to things like Gamepass and such, you're playing the Xbox version of the game. Microsoft made a system that allows many Xbox games to be playable on Windows. And there aren't a lot of games that are cross platform between Xbox and PC.

I played on the Gamepass version before switching to the Steam version a month or two ago, and let me tell you, there's a multitude of reasons why the Gamepass version wouldn't work with Steam in its current state.

First off, the Gamepass version is a port of the Xbox version. That alone wouldn't be a problem, if it weren't for the Xbox version being vastly outdated.

On Gamepass, there's no DLC yet (so no Monkey and Fox, and no DLC weapons). Bugs that got fixed on Steam are still in the Gamepass version. The game frequently crashes, especially in multiplayer, and when you crash once, good luck reconnecting to the game again - never managed to do it, even with multiple invites from the host. Some ascensions and weapons also got changes that make them behave differently on the Steam version. If I'm not entirely mistaken, even some talents are completely different.

All in all, the Gamepass version needs to be updated and fixed first, before we can even think of Crossplay (if it ever becomes available). If you have friends who are still on Gamepass and find the game fun, despite the issues, I'd recommend for them to get it on Steam - it's well worth the price and I've never looked back after upgrading (and yes, that's how I'll call it, it's the straight up superior version of the game).


edit: Oh, by the way, it's easy to port the savegames over from Gamepass to Steam. There's a guide on Reddit on how to do it.

Although the guide goes into great detail, it literally just comes down to locating the Gamepass folder where the save is located, copying the savegame over to the Steam Gunfire Reborn savegame folder, and renaming it.

Also. The game will be going on sale on Steam in about a week. Hint hint nudge nudge.

I play this on Xbox Gamepass, my son plays on the Xbox Series S and I play on the Gaming PC, amazing fun, MANY crashes.

I don't think it's been updated at all. Playing MP... I don't bother. I tried and it is a lagfest and guys just leave eventually. Playing with my son in the same house works mostly fine.

Microsoft, steam, these developers and game creators need to do better for 2022 almost 2023... Come on guys.

This tbh. Came to the Steam version b/c of how bad the Gamepass version is. Translations missing, constant dropped connections, weird bugs where I couldn't rejoin a friend after leaving the party and the game didn't run nearly as smooth as the Steam version. It is all around a pretty gross experience on Gamepass vs the Steam version.
