Tweet number 107 out of exactly 108 is truly a bombshell! For the gaming population, this has become the talk of the town. The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter Account gave out just the one simple yet magnificent statement: “giving you games is our passion <3′” along with, what looks to be, a teasing image. And then there was an explosion online.

The reveal: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time will be on Game Pass. This much-anticipated title has sparked welter in the gaming pool: some are happy, some are confused, and some are desperate for it. A gamer would say, “Put MLB The Show back on there,” while another cried, “Then give us Deltarune.” Real passionate stuff.

Well, not everyone is getting what they want. Some are complaining they can’t download Crash 4, while another one downright screamed at the top of his lungs: “I’M TRYING TO DOWNLOAD CRASH 4 AND IT’S NOT WORKING, RELEASE THIS DAMN THING ALREADY.” Oh, somebody please give that person a stress ball!

On the other hand, after beginning to cherish the game on Game Pass, some players began to enjoy the game: “Finally we got Crash 4…””It’s about time.” Honestly, I am glad to say it feels good, too. It has been there for a while now, but the sharing on Game Pass says now it’s time for freshly baked players to savor crazy crate-smashing fun.

Uh, wait-power in confusion: some say they can’t find Crash 4 under the “Available Now” category, while others really ask if it is to be on PC in the first place. This is a Game Pass classic mystery.

And then there’s Firebreak hype, with a few already asking, “Can’t wait to try Firebreak.” I’ve no idea what that is, but new games are good any day.

And then, you know, it’s Game Pass announcements, so there go the usual request periods: “Please put Siren’s Pest on GamePass 🥺,” “Where’s No Man’s Sky on cloud?”

The true MVP? Another simply stated, “Game Pass is saving video games.” Intelligence! Day-one releases, unscheduled ones, and so forth turned Game Pass into a Netflix for gambling-but better.

So yeah, Xbox Game Pass has done it again. They dropped a bomb, broke some hearts (MLB The Show, we see you), and reminded the world why they’re the kings of game subscription. Excuse me while I go ahead and play Crash Bandicoot. Or at least when the download starts working.
