Cd Projekt Red releasedThe Witcher 3on Xbox Game Passquite a while ago and ever since then, gamers have speculated if Xbox would be able to swing the development studios' newest titles,Cyberpunk 2077, into the service too when it releases later this year. It was always a shot in the dark. Still, we now have confirmation that it will not be coming to the subscription service.Jeff Grub from Venture Beat was discussing the value of consoles exclusives and timed exclusive on his Twitter account. The hypothetical idea ofCyberpunk 2077coming to Xbox Game Pass on launch day was brought up. This is when,You have to pick another example, Jeff.

It was always a longshot from actually happening. I am sure the speculation just began to circulate wheneverThe Witcher 3came to Game Pass back when the Netflix series first debut. Still, a monstrous third party title likeCyberpunk 2077will not have a need to release for the subscription service anytime soon after release.The Witcher 3has sold monstrous amounts of units, so I think that this latest game will just be alright.
The service can really help out smaller titles that might not get the recognition if it was just thrown onto the Xbox Store. We have already seen what it can do for smaller gamers likeDescenders. The service helped provide a spotlight for the title and it is now sellingfive times morethen what it once was. However, I doubt CD Projekt Red is shaking in their boots worrying about selling enough copies.
