Oh goodie.

Now if only the microsoft store weren't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible to use. And didn't almost entirely prevent modding.

It's GamePass, not the Microsoft Store.

It's also NOT the Director's Cut version.

It would be a great way to try the game out. It's a very different game, so I expect a lot of people are holding back because they don't want to pay for a game they aren't that sure about. Do a few deliveries, see if the game seems fun, then decide whether to buy it properly on Steam, just stick with the lesser GamePass version, or dump the game completely.

Which is the case with most Game Pass titles outside of day 1 releases of Xbox 1st party titles.

You realize you have to download gamepass games THROUGH the microsoft store on pc, right?

[Zloth]

WHAT!? No, I didn't realize that! Eeeesh, I guess they did it for the install system.

Even if you use the xbox app, you're still getting it from the same service. And using the same locked down folders.

I like gamepass, but god it's annoying to deal with when you like to be able to mod games.

you have old info
nothing is locked. you can change game installation folder, install games to any drive, access game files.
games installed in Xbox app in Windows support mods too.

Dude, all you do is spreading misinformation.

use up to date Windows and Xbox app on PC. moding, accessing game files, installing on other drives etc. are all supported when installing games through Xbox app.
also Windows store in Windows 11 is awesome, no problem whatsoever.

Wow, they managed to make a step in the right direction.

Shame the software for it is still crap.

[Seamus]

Amazing. It only took them until may of this year to add the ability to pick where you want to install things rather than putting them in the absurdly locked down WindowsApps folder.

Quality design, microsoft.

Quality design.

I'm wondering the same. Quite a few games on GamePass will let you play the base game for free but, if you want DLC, you need to properly buy the game then buy the DLC. Director's Cut is the closest thing this game has to DLC, so maybe they will offer it for purchase? <shrug> Guess we'll see pretty soon.
