Rumour: Cyberpunk 2077 could be coming to Xbox Game Pass

It would be awesome for Microsoft engagement and really bad for sales for CDPR... but I guess Microsoft would have thrown a bag of cash so big, the lack of sales won't matter?
bullshit. that video was probably just showing all the games coming to xbox in general. doubt all those games listed will be on the service at launch
No way this is happening. Not at launch at least. Just selling the game would probably make them more money than what MS can offer for day 1 Game Pass availability.
it's not happening. As a South African person in local games media, have confirmed that the video Xbox ZA put out was unauthorised. Was The Black Friday Xbox video with a game pass logo cut into it. The agency responsible has had a finger wagging.
Extreme doubt.
I imagine that would have to be a GTAIV DLC level moneyhat from MS- or more, right?
CDPR sacrificing all of those potential $60 day one sales from X1 owners? Crazy.... but you never know.

That list there. A lot of those would be absolutely massive gets.
I don't think it's impossible, but Microsoft would be losing some mega money on those deals. No way they'd be let into GamePass without paying out the ass for 'em.

I could see it, Microsoft really wants Game Pass to be like Netflix. If they get 100m people subbing now through whatever money it takes - $1/mo offers, conversion of GWG/regular, enticing games added like this to get that impulse "fuck it lets do it", they can get tons and tons and tons of people signed up while eating losses for 2-3 years.
Inertia is extremely powerful though, once you sign up and pay a monthly sub you will most likely just stay subbed if they don't give you a reason to cancel - price increase, quality of service drop. At 100m subs thats 1.5 BILLION a month in sub fees. That'll pay for 20 Cyberpunk 2077 deals every month.
Its the gym membership model, which Netflix has copied successfully. MoviePass failed dramatically for reasons that should be obvious to anyone. Time will tell if it works for gaming sub services, but really no reason it shouldn't - the costs are fairly low for infrastructure, and someone using it every minute of every hour doesn't cost dramatically more than someone who doesn't use it at all.

Even less likely, but, imagine if microsoft was buying cdpr from the rest of cdp. Games are a less stable business than running a storefront, and microsoft has a lot of money, so conceivably (although its still crazy) you could imagine cdpr being spun out, and that's one of those few developers out there who would instantly put microsoft in competition with sony in terms of exclusives.
(buying the whole thing, gog and all, would be even crazier, but conceivable if the existing licenses/relationships with older games would let msoft pad gamepass i guess. 2.3 billion is a lot of money)

They'll have to pay all the month's earning to them.
In reality, Microsoft has the money to go EGS route and moneyhat this.
Umm do you realize how much money they would have to give them and they probably don't care to do it anyways
I would not be surprised at Cyberpunk being on Game Pass at some point, as CDProjekt seem to have quite a cordial relationship with MS, but not a chance is it there at launch. They'd have been better off buying console exclusivity at that point.
