Xbox Chief Shocks the World by Promising a Massive PlayStation Exclusive on the Fan-Favorite Game Pass

The month of September has already hosted some major showcase events like Nintendo Direct, Sony State of Play, and the ongoing Tokyo Game Show. Many video game companies announced their upcoming games and projects. Recently, Xbox announced the addition of a new game to their game pass.

A game pass has become a norm in the gaming community these days. These are premium subscriptions offered by video game companies. There are advantages to having a game pass, as fans can access multiple games without buying individually. However, the games are only available until the validity of the premium passes.

After this significant move, gamers expected big announcements from Microsoft. And they sure did at the Xbox Tokyo Games Show stream.

The Xbox chief Phil Spencer announced that Deathloop would be available on their Game Pass on September 20. It is a 2021 FPS game developed by Bethesda. However, they created this game as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. After Death Stranding, it became the second PS exclusive to join the Xbox Game pass this year.
