It’s available as part of Game Pass for PC. Have a look in the PC games thread, I posted a direct link to the MS store where you can get it under your game pass.

Saw that thanks. It still shows as the ultimate pass though, I.e. pc and xbox rather than just pc. Unless I'm missing something?

Just on my phone but will sign in on my pc and see if it changes.

EDIT: Looks like I can pay £1 for the first month and then cancel which could be a good option!

Given up trying to find it on Xbox. Can only assume it’s not going up on there till later.

Why dont you set it to download to the XBox through the browser when you log in? Saving you having to manually search for it.

Eventually found it, had to type the whole thing in search to find it. You’d think they’d make a brand new, highly anticipated game a bit more prominent on release day wouldn’t you?

Unless its an AAA title then MS dont really bother.

Many still dont know that this is part of Game Pass because MS failed to communicate that, its not the first time either.

Played the first level earlier.

This game is absolutely fantastic. It nails the feel of the old games whilst giving it something new. I cannot wait to play it for hours on end.

So far, it’s faithful to the originals but I don’t like the fact that they removed the running from 3 and the music isn’t anything like before.

Those early posters who hated the art style really really need to try it out, it’s absolutely gorgeous.

Might just be the best Streets of Rage game released to date.

If you prefer the original soundtrack change it in settings. I think it’s mainly from sor2 which is fine because it’s amazing

To be fair it was far too clean when it was first unveiled. It seems to have been made a bit more gritty since then. I really like it now.

CRT filter also looks pretty nice from the bits I've seen.

Totally, those unconvinced should watch the video above. It talks about the early games but then talks about how they built the new one.

And a launch trailer

Buying it tonight after work - I've got to buy it on Switch surely (no Gamepass)?

I’m going get it on Switch as well. Probably do so over the weekend.

Having a blast with my brother on this. Takes me back to the days of no internet and couch co-op.

No Skate? Couldn't see him in that trailer.

Hah that's cool to see all those years later.

Playing this on GamePass for PC but very tempted to place a order for the limited physical release on switch

pioneer2000 · 1 May 2020 at 21:09

Completed it now and it’s a been a bit of a disappointment sadly.

level design isn’t up to the Rage 2/3, music isn’t as good, bosses uninspired and I really think they could have expanded the concept further than just an art change.

Enjoyable on gamepass for free but not really worth a purchase.
