Red Dead Redemption 2 replacing GTA 5 on Xbox Game Pass

There's some pretty wild news for Xbox Game Pass console subscribers today, as GTA 5 is due to be swapped out for a cer…

www.eurogamer.net

Red Dead Redemption 2 arrives on 7th May, the same day Rockstar's other huge hit GTA 5 leaves the subscription service. The latter has been available since January, so it's had a few months on the service, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers get a 20 per cent discount if they want to purchase GTA 5 permanently.

Maybe affecting GTAV already strong sales?

Wow may actually play RDR2. I was never going to buy because I didn't really care for RDR1. But I am curious what all the fuss is about.

Prepare for disappointment. If you didn’t like RDR1 you will despise 2.
RDR1 is one of my favorite games of all time, RDR2 felt like work to play.

This is great because I've had this one my wish list for a while. Now I don't have to purchase it! Win! And oh, here we go with the "sales" comments, now that's weak.

God help me if I ever come across a cheap XB1S.

 

[JimmyRustler]

On PC too?

 

[Mochilador]

Beautiful.

On PC too?

Unlikely, GTA V never came.

 

[pr0cs]

Fantastic game, looks and plays excellent in 4k on the oneX

 

[dorkimoe]

didnt even know GTAV was on there...i should have tried it again for the 4th time to see if i can make it any further

 

[HE1NZ]

Will it be on PC game pass?

 

[SleepDoctor]

Great for people who haven't played RDR 2 yet. Sure its bit slow paced but absolutely enjoyed all the attention to detail andal everything about it besides the long drawn out horse rides in missions.

I'd buy it for dollar

 

[Codes 208]

Im not ok with this

The start Is boring like the first?
I can't handle those slow tutorials....

They doubled down on it.

Probably. And T2 charging more money of Microsoft could be a thing too.

Also, maybe the GTA V physical units stoped being made, while RDR2 is too new to not give a crap

Sheesh... ok, consider my curiosity deflated then. I guess it isn't my kind of game.

Whole fucking game is slow as fuck : D

It's ridiculous. Imagine if you saw someone carrying out actions as slowly as Arthur does in real life.

Loved the super slow-walking every time you had to go to the camp /s

The only thing I liked about the game were the horses and I thought the final chapter was decent. I still can't believe I actually finished it. But hey a lot of people loved the game. Everyone has different tastes.

The slow start (and the sluggish controls) kinda made me quit the game.. But I picked it up again a couple of months later and eventually the game gave me a fantastic experience. Looks mindblowing on the One X as well.

well there are people still saying that Gamepass is not a good deal

 

[JoeyWestSide]

First nier now rdr2, all I need is control to round out the hat trick of games I almost bought but want to play.

Trying to turn positive news into something else proves you are a salty Sony fanboy.
