Topic: So, Will Xbox Game Pass be on the Switch or What?

Will it? I feel like it was supposed to be, but I don't see it on the eshop.

I think you've been misinformed, no such thing was ever announced.

@J-Plap It was a rumour which hasn't come true (yet). Whether it does happen in the future, who knows.

Please let it be true & mean I can play the games I'm considering getting an XB1 for....

@J-Plap It was a rumour.

What even is this anyways? Like...do you stream the games or what? Just curious. lol

@Joeynator3000 You download whatever games you want and pay a single monthly fee.

Oh, so basically like what Nintendo's doing....only 100 times better....BECAUSE WE DON'T CARE ABOUT NES GAMES ANYMORE NINTENDO!!!!

....Gotcha. lol

@Joeynator3000 Exactly, there is no streaming but you download whatever games you like and play as much as you want. Currently, there are around 200 Xbox One and 360 games. There is also Game Pass for PC with a different selection of games.

Is Rare Replay a part of this? I can't remember, and i'd love to play Jet Force Gemini again without relying on an emulator. lol

@Joeynator3000 On XB1, yes and it's fully Xbox One X enhanced. Not on PC but it hasn't been ported to PC, given how much of XB1's games have been ported to PC so far I wouldn't be surprised if it happened eventually.

@Joeynator3000 Yes, Rare Replay is on Xbox One Game Pass.

Bleh...>.<

Ah well...

Wouldn't having Gamepass on Switch be the digital distribution version of Jean de Florette? What I mean by that is, if you are playing a third party game via Gamepass, where is the incentive to develop that game for Switch and more to the point, wouldn't Nintendo lose out on their percentage as platform holder? If it is coming, there must be some awfully complicated conversations going on lol.

If it isn't on PC, I don't see it coming to Nintendo any time soon. If they release it on PC and it does well, I could see it potentially coming to Switch. But despite the rumors, my money is on it never happening.
