The new title of the creator of XCOM finally arrives on PC although for the moment only through the Epic Games Store; Snapshot Games explains the reasons.
Phoenix Point, the new from the creator of the celebrated XCOM saga, finally arrived on PC on December 3, although only through the Epic Games Store and not on Microsoft platforms such as Game Pass or the Microsoft Store itself, an absence that surprised its users and that has made that from Snapshot Games, creators of the title, justify this decision through an official statement.
Lack of experience with Microsoft platforms
Thus, the study by Jullian Gollop, creator of the XCOM saga, has assured that they have been surprised by the lack of time to deliver all the necessary documentation to Microsoft so that their video game could be part of their platforms such as Microsoft Game Pass and Microsoft Store.
“The truth is that it has happened to us. We have been excessively busy taking out the game, and with the inexperience with Game Pass and the Microsoft store, we have not prepared everything enough to launch the game on those platforms, ”they say from Snapshot Games.
To all this we must add the problems of launching Phoenix Point in Epic Games Store, setbacks that are already being solved through patches and that would have been aggravated by the simultaneous launch on Microsoft platforms.
However, they hope to launch the game in both Microsoft Game Pass and Microsoft Store once Phoenix Point is stable at the level of performance and technical setbacks; Of course, there is still no approximate release date for these versions. Those responsible call us in the coming weeks to learn new details about the launch of Phoenix Point in both Microsoft Pass and Microsoft Store.
“Phoenix Point puts the player in the middle of a desperate fight to recover the Earth from the grip of a mutant alien threat. With tactical turn-based combat on procedurally generated maps and global resource management, Phoenix Point offers a brutal challenge, as well as infinite replayability. ”
