How do microtransactions/DLC work for gamepass games? If the game gets removed do you lose your stuff or do you get to keep it with a view to being able to access it all again once you buy the game?
Super Lucky's Tale won't be removed from Game Pass. From what Microsoft has said, all first party games will stay on Game Pass and not be rotated out like the other third party games.
However in general, if a game gets removed (which won't happen with first party), you will have that DLC still just not the game. You get a discount on buying games while they are in Game Pass as well.
You keep it, you just can't obviously play dlc without having the game but as soon as you buy it it's there
All that Game Pass (and GwG) do is give you a temporary license. If you buy any additional content, you get a permanent license for that.
Would love to see impressions of this, wonder how long it is?
But they certainly kept this quiet, that's come out of nowhere.

It's the latter.
They were actually a little more cryptic than that, but that's probably only to allow them a little bit of wiggle room in case of licensing issues etc - eg when Forza hits GP it can never be permanent because the car licenses will expire at some point. The reality is that first party games are basically their 'Netflix Originals' so they will want to keep them on the service permanently to continue to attract subscribers.
Thats good to hear if true.
Ok cool, makes sense.
I'm gonna dual boot Win10 once I get a new SSD later this month, all to try a few of the gamepass games out (this being one of them). Don't see why not. Hopefully doing a clean install on a fresh drive will eradicate the issues I faced last time.
Great game! Super fun platformer.
I really need to say though ... I don't always quite get the core gaming community. There is so much public demand and voice for more platform games, Banjo and so on. And when the system finally gets a really competent platformer - suddenly no one bats an eye. It makes me sad.
Don't sleep on the game. It's fun and has good platforming elements.

It's cheap, but it's so strange the way they handled this. Her island was definitely cut from the main game and they just shoved her in some levels from another char.
That sure looks like Donkey Kong Country Returns huh
I know their game designer is the same but...

Ybarra was far less cryptic on Twitter the other day. All but confirmed first party stuff will stay on.
Will definitely grab this dlc though. Seems neat. Loved Lucky's Tale.
Some control problems and the many gold coins in the game don't need to be collected as they offer nothing of use, no achievements for collecting X amount and no buyable upgrades.
It's less that no one bats an eye and more that this game just wasn't anything worth noting. A Hat in Time was though, and so was Mario, and both got their due praise.
just bought this with my xbox on friday :/ shoulda waited I couldve gladly waited a week knowing it was coming to gamepass.
for some reason I didnt think it was first party as i remember lucky being an Oculus title originally but well thats my mistake.
The game seems alright from the few hours ive played, gorgeous on the one X but hard to get excited over, its kinda out shined by a Hat in Time and obviously Mario. Ideal kids game but hard to recommend to anyone over the age of 10, even platforming veterans would be better off spending their money on a hat in time for the xbox instead.
Decent price for this expansion, I'll wait until i finish the main game before deciding whether or not I want to spend more time with lucky.

Just started playing the game via Gamepass, its a nice platformer but maybe a bit too easy. Still having fun.
A matter of opinion, and many of us wouldn't agree with yours.
Yes. It's not exceptional, but it's a perfectly decent, charming, and fun platformer.
I absolutely loved the first game on Oculus. Just downloaded this on Game Pass to try it out. Lovely N64 era style platformer with really charming art style and visuals. Will definitely grab the DLC if I like SLT as much as the first game.
Wow, wasn't execting that. This and the rumoured sequel are both surprises since the game didn't do that well (did it?).
6/10, I'd say. Which means an OK game. Pretty much like expected. It's not bad but it lacks the charm Nintendo's platformers have.
Huh, explains the update I immediately got right after I installed the game. Will buy it for sure!
Of course, but even you yourself only called it decent, and I agree with that sentiment. A Hat in Time was exceptional, and got its due as such, but this game was mostly decent and that's all. Metacritic seems to agree, with its critic and user score both being below 7.
Of course it gets one. This will always happen with games that are (released) in Battle Pass from now on. This here at least seems like a new made expansion but you can bet your ass that we will have the "cut out content for exclusive pre order dlc" discussion all over again in the future, just with Game Pass DLC stuff instead.
They have to monetize them somehow.

Sure, all I'm saying is that it doesn't deserve to be outright ignored, especially by prople on platforms where Super Mario Odyssey is not available. Super Lucky's Tale is also cheaper than both those games (and it's also on Game Pass, and on sale at the moment), so it offers a good amount of fun for the price.
I saw it downloading a patch last night and was hoping it was a performance patch. Now it makes sense. Some areas run pretty crappy, but overall it's a fun game with a lot of charm.
Game Pass, sorry, I'm playing Fortnite right now, got confused. :D
Good timing there, with Super Lucky's Tale finally on Game Pass for everyone to try I'm sure many will want to play more. I haven't played the game yet but it looks like something I'll enjoy, so a properly priced DLC like that is something I'll likely pick up.
Surprised there's more content since the original game was not good enough to be worth me buying DLC for it. Maybe if they added something for free in an update to make the coins worthwhile.
I had originally cancelled my pre-order for Super Lucky's Tale after reading over a bunch of the reviews, but it was still something I wanted to play. A family member who has, shall we say, a stressful life picked it up and was really enjoying it. It's very traditional, to a point where some would consider it a fault, but I think I'm going to enjoy it.
Having it come to Gamepass was great news for me, and I'm likely to grab this expansion too.

$4.99 for a new world is not terrible. I enjoyed the full game, so I'll probably give this a try.
Game Pass games just include the base game generally, so this would be a separate buy for the add-on.
