UPDATE 2: If for some reason you didn’t believe the statement below, the Xbox Game Pass team also issued a statement regarding the Control coming to Microsoft’s subscription service:
“We’re aware thatÂControlÂwas mentioned as coming to the Xbox Game Pass library and can confirm this was in error. While we are always updating the library and looking for new ways to provide our members with value and choice in their games, we do not have plans to bringÂControlÂto the library at this time.”
Now that both parties have confirmed the error, I think it’s safe to sayÂControlÂwon’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass in the near future.
UPDATE: Just a couple minutes after posting this story, the Control twitter account posted the following tweet:
So, it appears the game won’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass any time soon.
Have you been wanting to play Remedy Entertainment’s newest hit,Control, but have yet to pick it up. Well, don’t fret. It seems the studio’s trippy adventure will be coming to Xbox Game Pass.
During anExtra Life stream(thanksWario64), Head of Xbox Phil Spencer sat down with Director of Player Voice at 343 Industries, Justin Robey, and Producer at Mixer, Ethan Rothumel, to play the newest addition to theHalo: Master Chief Collection,Halo Reach. During the stream, the three started discussing Xbox Game Pass where Spencer outed that Control will be coming to the service.
“I thoughtControlwas really good,” says Spencer. “It didn’t reach enough people so I’m glad to see that it’s coming into Game Pass, so hopefully more people will play it.”
This seems to be something that accidentally slipped asControl’s inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass lineup has yet to be announced. Remedy Entertainment’s newest game has been praised as one of the best games of the year, garnering a few nominations at this year’s Game Awards. you’re able to check out ourreviewwhere our reviewer Logan Moore said, “If you have enjoyed past games from Remedy, you’ll certainly find further enjoyment here withControl.”
