A game that will soon be as loved as hated?

One of the best games of 2019, GOTY for some and flop for others, is coming to Xbox Game Pass soon. At home tip: a Japanese game with intimidating Icelandic landscapes.

No conference at Gamescom 2022 for Microsoft, but the manufacturer could have a surprise in store. And it would be linked to Xbox Game Pass, which also just unveiled its latest games for August 2022 with some pretty nuggets.

Death Stranding on Xbox Game Pass

Behind this often-seen translation lies one of the games of 2019 and this generation: Death Stranding, the UFO by Hideo Kojima and his studio Kojima Productions. A divisive proposal that has the merit of existing and will likely have had as many critics as worshipers. And soon others will perhaps be able to position themselves in a camp.

A tweet from the official Xbox Game Pass PC account suggests that Death Stranding could be available on the service, but obviously only on that platform. This is a deduction that can be pulled from the cryptic message and profile photo of this account. And it’s true that it seems to fit. Especially since the game, even if the IP belongs to PlayStation, is available on PC with 505 Games as publisher and is already included in PS Plus Extra & Premium. After the excellent sales died down, KJP would lose nothing by using the service, especially with a financial counterpart.

Others instead associate the image with Senua’s Hellblade 2 saga, but in this case, why didn’t the classic XGP Twitter account do the same? Finally, last option, we would have a deliberately ambiguous tweet with no real announcement.
