Been meaning to make this thread for a bit, since I think this is a pretty interesting measure of interest in the games Xbox is bringing to Game Pass.

Starfield
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Party Animals
PAYDAY 3
Cities: Skylines II
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
ARK 2

Nice and i thought all Game Pass games are just filler trash.

 

[Dacvak]

Oh cool, didn’t know Hollow Knight was game pass.

This is a weird take considering wishlisting is such a give or take metric. Many either wishlist everything and many don't bother wishlisting at all.

Like I get the thread is all about game pass and being cool. But this may as well be some guys Twitter opinion.

I "heart" so many games on the Nintendo store and barely buy any of them

Well, no offense, but you're 1 guy. Steam Top Wishlists are a decent enough representation of Steam's 20M+ install base. Steam Wishlist metrics are an important measure for developers. They use it to gauge pre-launch interest and as leverage in dealmaking with partners.

Silksong coming to gamepass? wow ! when did this happen?

Announced at the 2022 Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase

Silksong isn't 100% because we don't know if Gamepass will be around in 2054.

Well no offense but magic numbers are not real numbers how highly wishlisted was valheim before it released...

Vampire survivors

And so on...

Pre-orders would be a great number to go on because it's actual sales. A wishlist costs nothing and can be done on a whim.

And to your point that's probably exactly why the top 7 games are gamepass games they just making a deal based on nothing numbers. I imagine party animals is barely gonna sell when it releases

These metrics are very iffy. "Games on Game Pass people won't play since they are Top Wishlist-ed on Steam"

 

[Punished Miku]

This definitely wouldn't be my top 10, but they are doing a solid job of getting some sought after stuff.

Of this list, the only one I truly looking forward to is Starfield. Stalker seems cool but I didn't get to play the 1st one, so I can't really be that hyped just yet. The rest are not highlights for me, but I will try them.

I'm more excited about some other stuff like Ghostbike, Replaced, Cocoon. Shadow Legacy, Flintlock, Jusant, etc, etc.

^Exactly

 

[acm2000]

how dare you make a positive game pass thread

off with his head!

 

[X-Wing]

That's cool, you should contact all the people who wishlisted them and then pass by uncle Phill for your monthly pay for advertising Game Pass.

Xbox shills are running rampant on Neogaf lately. What gives?

Sure, hits do come out of nowhere. Party Animals is 38 on Steam Top Sellers despite not even being released yet.
