Expedition 33 - 9/10 GS, 92MC! Update: 1M copies sold!

Sweet! A nice surprise for 2025. Even though I could play this on GamePass, think I’ll purchase this to support the game! Thoughts, SW? Will you be checking out Expedition 33?

Looked at it and have no desire to play it. So probably not.

Day One GamePass baby!! ;o

Thank you, Uncle Phil!! lol :P

Never heard of it, but it sounds good. If I didn't have a backlog of JRPGs I'd probably pick this up.

Good on you for buying a copy, we gotta support the hobby and the companies we appreciate.

Will try it out for sure.

Gamepass is having quite a year so far.

Apparently, it's a Final Fantasy game in all but name. Square Enix should take notes.

Congrats on the dev team for pulling it off

Turn based JRPG? We gotta save them from extinction!!

For those who must have it all!! lol :P

Looks good, my backlog simply can't keep up

Nice!

I was waiting for reviews on this. I'll be getting it later.

already downloaded via Game Pass.. 😎👍

It's only $45... if I was a bigger JRPG fan I would consider buying it.

So that's what Expedition 33 is. I didn't look too deeply into this till now. I'll check it out later on Game Pass.

Why haven't I heard about this game before? Will definitely check it out, when I have time. Got to finish Sniper 5 and Thirsty Suitors first before they leave Gamepass.

Best Buy is offering a $10 e-gift card if you preorder! Locked mine in.

Awesome!

I got it downloaded on my XSX and am just waiting for it to unlock to start playing it. So many excellent games to play on Game Pass and Doom: The Dark Ages hitting in a couple more weeks as well. Keep ‘em coming baby! We eating good!

Honestly, doesn't look like my type of RPG. But might at least give it a try if its on gamepass. someday. after all the other games I want to try on gamepass lol

I already bought it to get a small discount. Every now and then a game comes along and I just think "y'know what...that's worth a punt".

I wont be playing it at release though. I'm just coming off the back of another RPG so I'm all RPGd out.

Great to see strong reviews though. Always nice when a promising looking games gets the nod. Eurogamer also gave it a thumbs up.

unexpected...a ton of amazing games being dropped recently. Jeez.

GamePass continues to deliver.

Really glad to see it's being so well received. Like the concept a lot. I want to play, but will have to just give it a spot on my "RPGs I hope to someday get to" list.

@Pedro: Gamepass didn't do anything. Give credit to the devs. They made a great game. not the rental service

I know, right? I was gonna say the same thing. Lems are such goofballs

Pedro simply stated that Gamepass offers many good games to play, which is absolutely true.

Bought Oblivion yesterday, and this today... On top of finishing Xenoblade, my gaming time is now full.

Indeed. Game Pass has it's values.

Who would have thought stating that a service is delivering would trigger you folks. 😂 I guess the argument that Gamepass is just shovelware, no longer being applicable is really getting under you all skin. 😎

I never said Game Pass was just shovelware. I’ve also been a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber since day 1. It’s just goofy to come into a thread and say a subscription service is “delivering” instead of congratulating or even acknowledging the developer.

Again. Goofballs

@ghostofgolden: You're just upset that it's something positive about Gamepass. 😎

@Pedro: How dare you say that Game Pass is delivering value to consumers. Please think of the children. 😅

@Archangel3371: Now you are going to trigger them even more. 😂

@Pedro: It can’t be helped. They are an extremely sensitive bunch. 😅

Congratulations to Xbox.

Released on disc on PS5 here but not for Xbox.

Will buy a yank version down the road sometime.

@last_lap: get GamePass

I'll get it later, glad to see it turned out great.

100%! A wake up call for Square-Enix

This should send out a clear message to Square Enix: fans want a turn-based Final Fantasy.

@SolidGame_basic: Never going to happen, I like to own, you used to know this, do I have ro explain it to you too now?

@last_lap: you need to accept Phil’s plan for you. No more physical, go all in on GamePass.

@SolidGame_basic: I'd t rather go retro, oh wait I'm 95% of the way there now.

Looks like something I'd probably enjoy, I'll check it out one day.

Looks amazing. Dark and grim and beautiful.

Might be a Japanese-style RPG that works for me.

It was either Expedition 33 or Oblivion for me. I am picking 33. Totally off my radar until I saw a YouTuber cover it and I came across this 9/10 thread.

Great news another banger for gamepass! Pc keeps on winning!

Lems in 2008: haha, we have Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Left 4 Dead

Lems in 2025: haha, we can rent that game you can buy!!

Main dude character kinda looks like a Starbucks employee. But otherwise game looks freaking good.

Right? @Pedro getting all triggered when good games launch on everything he has to bring up GamePass to defend a dying platform with no exclusives.

I didn't think Phill had Pedro bent over this much........pedro turning into Kvally over here. Why you coming into every thread and talking about GamePass?
