I'm out of the damn loop but wasn't Metro Exodus an Epic exclusive? Could have sworn it was yet I just finished the PC version using Game Pass. I figured Control would be on Game Pass by the end of the year but I hadn't realized it was an Epic exclusive. But since Metro was added couldn't the same happen with Control? Either way, what an epic

ing mess. This shit is getting out of control and I hope they find a remedy soon. I'm steaming mad!
Yep, Metro: Exodus was Epic Exclusive. Also played it on the XB for PC Game Pass...and it was awesome.
Wouldn't surprised me if more games end up on the XB for PC Game Pass, even if they are Epic Exclusive...since Metro: Exodus pretty much set the standard.
Just....don't expect any games that is supposedly "Epic Exclusive" to wind up on Steam. Right now, Epic's at war w/ Steam...and the 30% cut Steam takes.
Just an observation of mine, but it's not so much an Epic exclusive, as it is a non-steam game for 12 months. I hope that answer is satisfactory to you. The dauntless gamer marches on.
Bingo. This is exactly it. If it's Epic Exclusive, it's not hitting Steam for that time, pretty much. Epic's at war w/ Steam.
Some of the major AAA publishers are not putting their games on Steam any more (EA, UbiSoft, Blizzard/Activision, etc) b/c they want a better cut (i.e.
UbiSoft has been skipping Steam and putting titles now on Epic instead) and/or they would rather take 100% of sales by putting it on their own service.
There's also
EA, who has tried to buy-out Steam a few times.
It's also going to get very interesting, as Rockstar launched their own Rockstar Game Launcher. You don't throw out a major Game Launcher, unless you got big plans or a killer app/game going. Maybe...RDR2 is coming to PC?
Also, they (Rockstar)
just fixed a bug...where after the RGL update, you could only run GTA5 PC online only.
