As soon as you buy it and open the shrink wrap.

I'm waiting. I'm interested in trying it, but not interested enough to buy it. So it'll either be Gamepass or a really cheap sale purchase.

Yes when the new consoles launch. My guess is it'll be one of the next gen games included in gamepass for launch. They've already talked about next gen upgrades for the game with RT etc.

It was a mistake by Phil that may or may not mean it is coming to Game Pass, just as any other game may or may not be coming to Game Pass.

It's worth buying. Or perhaps you might like to wait for the recently announced next gen versions.

If you have game pass now, I'm sure you can play something good while you wait. If it comes to game pass, great! If it does not, you might get it cheaper and with incoming DLC

If you really want to play the game, then buy it and support the developers so they will make more games like it.

We don't know. Until something is announced, we have no way of knowing. I haven't bought it, since I've never really enjoyed anything from Remedy, but I'll give it a chance if it comes to Game Pass due to the positive word of mouth.

Game on Game Pass begging reaching Switch begging territories, lol.
Then you don't understand the context of the thread. Phil Spencer let it slip that it was coming to Gamepass. Either he misspoke or spoke too soon. We don't know for sure. This is not like asking if (random game) is coming to Switch without any other previous information around a game coming to that platform..

People complaining about port begging seems infinitely more prevalent to me than those who actually port beg.

Just buy it online from a different region's store on the Xbox if it's too expensive at retail.

I've been waiting for it too, but if it doesn't happen soon, I'll probably just buy it.

I was going to wait for this one to come to Steam, but since that GP "leak" I'm no longer going to buy it. I paid €85 for two years of GP so I have to get my money's worth out of it which means I will avoid buying games that have a high chance of coming to it. Already got rewarded for avoiding buying A Plague Tale Innocence.

It's also published by 505 Games which puts lots of stuff on GP so it seems like a wise decision to avoid buying Control for now. Focus Home Interactive and Devolver Digital are two other publishers that would be wise for GP owners to boycott.

I bought and Platinumed the game on PS4 and loved every second of it. I highly recommend a buy... But at the same time, as someone who also owns an Xbox One X and has a Game Pass subscrip, I sorta want it to drop on Game Pass so I can replay it and maybe get 1000/1000 on the Xbox side too! :p

But that isn't boycotting. Or do you mean boycotting by not giving these publishers money directly? You're still giving those publishers business, so it doesn't sound to me like boycotting.
I mean not buying their games.

It doesn't matter to publishers if you download their game on GP or not. Microsoft pays them a flat fee to be on it, the download/play counts don't matter. Even if you don't download the game, as a GP owner you are indirectly giving them money through Microsoft anyway.

Ok but boycotting is about stopping commercial or social relations with a company or person, as protest or punishment. This doesn't sound like it to me 🤷🏾‍♂️

I loved the game, one of my favorites of last year, but at this point at least wait until the DLC comes out. That way you can either play it on Game Pass or just buy the Complete Edition bundle or whatever.

I thought this tweet from Xbox Game Pass a few days ago was teasing Control being added, but maybe I misread.

We don't know, it's not confirmed (if anything it's deconfirmed at the moment).
If it was an early slip up then it'll turn up eventually, but they haven't announced anything.

Who knows, maybe he accidentally mentioned something being negotiated for the end of the year.

I posted this in the Game Pass OT, but Control has an expansion launching on March 26 that's a timed exclusive for PS4. My guess is it won't be added to any subscription service like Game Pass until a while after that. So possibly late April at the earliest.

Also OP, you may want to update the first post with the info about Spencer specifically mentioning the game coming to GP. Otherwise you'll get even more people hopping in the thread, reading nothing else, and drive-by complaining about port begging.

Buy it. It's a great game. Remedy deserve your direct support. Otherwise, wait however long you have to for the mighty GamePass gods to shine down on you.
Judging from like, all remedys previous efforts, you arent missing much.
What the fuck is this?
It's really not that good of a game tbh.
And what the fuck is this?

Do you know what boycotting is? This thread is fucking looney.
