At the end of 2019, Microsoft announced 10 Final Fantasy the games were to come to the Game Pass next year. At the beginning of 2021, most of them are missing, although Microsoft says they will get there eventually.
During the X019 live stream event in London, near the end of 2019, Microsoft announced a lot of great games coming to his library of Netflix Game Pass-like subscriptions. These new games, which included each Final Fantasy from VII to XV (except for MMOs), they are said to arrive “this holiday and in 2020”. Currently, almost 14 months later, only Final Fantasy VII, quick, IX, and XV have been added. Reddit is full of threads from players wondering when the rest will finally arrive. It’s a real nuisance considering Final Fantasy XIII it looks spectacular on newer hardware, and its spin-offs are ripe for rediscovery.
One statement to TrueAchievements, a Microsoft spokesman did not acknowledge the apparent delays, but said the other Final Fantasy games are still on track to come to Game Pass someday. “As we announced at X019, we are pleased to bring Final Fantasy the Xbox Game Pass player franchise, ”the spokesman said. “We have done this throughout 2020 and we will continue to do so in 2021 and beyond. We look forward to announcing specific release dates for more Final Fantasy titles in the future. “

Square Enix has spent the last few years remastering some of the older ones Final Fantasy games and porting them to new platforms. Final Fantasy X, first released on PS2 in 2001, was remastered for PS3 and Vita in 2013 and finally ported to Xbox and Nintendo Switch in early 2019. More recently, Square released an excellent remaster of the Final Fantasy XII.
Although both can be purchased on Xbox One and X / S Series, neither is yet on Game Pass. This is easy to understand, given that they are still potentially in high demand and also play great on the Switch. After a year of waiting to play them on the Game Pass, I almost decided to buy them for the third time on my Nintendo portable device during the holidays. However, I gave up and returned to the game Final Fantasy X on my Vita. I hope I don’t face the same riddle of next Christmas.
