The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass seems like a dream come true for many Dead Space fans who have indulged with the complete collection thanks to the subscription service’s partnership with EA Play. You may be curious if Striking Distance Studios is planning to also include The Callisto Protocol to the library of games available in Microsoft’s subscription service. Let’s talk about The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass.
Is The Callisto Protocol coming to Xbox Game Pass?
No, The Callisto Protocol will not be coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch. The Striking Distance Studios CTO, Mark James, commented on an interview with TrueAchievements that it would be difficult for a linear single-player game to launch on Game Pass, at least for a third party like them.
To be clear, Mark James did state that Striking Games Distance Studios will never consider adding The Callisto Protocol to Xbox Game Pass. Although it’s unlikely that it will be added to its library until some time after its launch on December 2, 2022. It’s just that Mark James holds the notion that open world style and repetitive multiplayer video games have better chances on surviving on the Xbox Game Pass service.
The decision to not release The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass seems to be a purely financial one. Mark James commented that it isn’t the most profitable scenario for them to include The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass as an independent developer.
It may take longer to see The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass as it does have some PlayStation exclusive benefits. Benefits such as a 48-hour early access to story DLCs of the game. We might not be seeing The Callisto Protocol on Xbox Game Pass any time soon.
