It will be exciting on May 2nd, because Redfall will finally be an Xbox-exclusive title again and it will also be available in Game Pass. The download is already working.
It will be interesting to see how Redfall will be received by players and whether it will give Xbox Game Pass a new boost. The open-world vampire shooter from the Dishonored developers will be released on Tuesday for PC and Xbox Series X/S, and also in Xbox Game Pass immediately after launch.
You can download the game now because the pre-load phase has begun. You should, however, dig up a fair amount of space for this, because in the style of current releases, Redfall is not exactly a dwarf on the hard drive.
The game on the PC swallows up a whopping 94.3 GB. On the Xbox Series X, it still manages with 77.3 GB. On the Xbox Series S, the game is a bit more economical and only eats up 40.3 GB of your storage space.
After all, you can already do the download so that you can start playing right away when it’s released. And it could be worth it, because even if the communication about the game wasn’t always happy, the story-driven vampire shooter with optional cooperative play sounds pretty interesting after it turned out that it’s definitely not a Left4Dead clone.
It remains to be hoped that Redfall will have a reasonably smooth launch. Quite a few players have already been pissed off since it was announced that the Xbox version will only run at 30 fps in quality mode at launch and that a performance mode with 60 fps will only be patched in after the launch. It would also be desirable if the PC version didn’t follow the general trend – recently almost all PC versions of multi-platform titles were released in a desolate state.
For a long time it wasn’t really clear what kind of game Redfall would be: Left 4 Dead, Borderlands or Far Cry? We were finally able to gamble for a few hours ourselves and answer this question once and for all.
