The previous production of Paradox Interactive, Crusader Kings 3, has worked well, especially with its arrival in PC Game Pass in 2020. Building on this success, the studio is preparing its next historic title Victoria 3 The title invites us to build our ideal society in a turbulent 19th century. To showcase its game, Paradox hosted a lengthy stream discussing gameplay and confirming the release date. Therefore, we can discover it on October 25th.
With Crusader Kings 3 exists in Xbox’s subscription service, one might imagine that the same fate is reserved for it Victoria 3. Especially since the mention of PC Game Pass was indicated in the first videos of the title. However, this does not appear to be the case. In fact, Paradox returned to that point by stating that the game will be exclusive to Steam when it releases.
The game will be exclusive to Steam at release – following discussions with our partners, it has been decided that Victoria 3 will not be part of Game Pass or the Microsoft Store. Xbox fans of Paradox’s epic strategy titles can enjoy our games like Crusader Kings III, Stellaris, Shadowrun Trilogy, Hearts of Iron IV and more with Game Pass today, and we can’t wait to share more details about our next partnership with Xbox in the future.
The door for future changes therefore remains open, but for the time being this will not be the case.
