In what seems to be Xbox’s villain arc, their recent June Game Pass Showcase featured titles that many believed were never going to become a reality. Moreover, it was a good time for Obsidian Entertainment than any other studio, after all, they got the chance to showcase their two precious under-development projects to hundreds of thousands of viewers, those being Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2.
The Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft Gaming’s prestige subscription service, will play a huge role in helping make these new titles a success. While the showcase, as mentioned earlier, might not have been good news for Fallout fans, it was a good time overall for those who follow Obsidian.
Obsidian Entertainment is back on track thanks to Xbox Game Pass
For a while, Obsidian Entertainment seemed to fade away in the shadows of bigger AAA studios, and fans wondered if the once-celebrated developer was ever gonna make a comeback. But thanks to Xbox Game Pass, that narrative is about to be completely flipped.
With Grounded 2 and The Outer Worlds 2 now confirmed as upcoming titles, the studio is not just back, it’s on a mission to dominate again. The first installments of both of these franchises, especially Grounded, have enjoyed massive reception on the subscription-based service, and while some developers might not agree where the industry is headed with this added convenience, it’s definitely a huge help for studios like Obsidian Entertainment.
The better part about these upcoming games is that they boast a bigger budget and larger world-building, which is making fans of Obsidian eager. Xbox Game Pass is the perfect platform for the studio to fulfill the expectations of all these fans.
Grounded 2 and Outer Worlds 2: Obsidian Entertainment is so back
Obsidian Entertainment is planning on a massive comeback, and these two newly announced titles will be the very games that help it get back on track. Their developers bring years of world-building experience, many of whom are industry veterans from cult-classics.
With the subscription model offering a low-risk, high-reward launchpad, players are more likely to explore these sequels. Moreover, Xbox’s decision to spotlight both titles on the recent showcase and the Game Pass offering shows how much trust has grown between Obsidian and Microsoft Gaming over time, allowing them to deliver to players exactly what they want.
Xbox has done what few platforms could, providing launchpads to studios big or small. Obsidian happens to be one of them, and with their upcoming titles getting a special spotlight on the Game Pass, it’s about time it gets put back on the map.
