Xbox says Visions of Mana isn’t coming to Game Pass

0 23


Recently the Xbox page for Visions of Mana made news, as it cited the upcoming Square Enix RPG would be included as part of Xbox Game Pass at launch. Today we learned it was just a big mistake.

Game Pass owners thought they had a gem inbound for the subscription platform. X users, like Idle Sloth below, celebrated the Xbox reveal of the big Day One get.

Eurogamer reached out to Microsft to get clarification on the listing. A Microsoft spokesperson responded to the outlet to confirm that the mention of Game Pass was indeed a mistake.

“We’re aware that Xbox.com included language that indicated Visions of Mana was coming to Xbox Game Pass and can confirm this was an error,” the spokesperson told Eurogamer. Microsoft concluded its statement by confirming: “We do not have plans to bring Visions of Mana to Game Pass at this time.”

When Microsoft rolled out its Xbox Developer’s Direct on January 23, Visions of Mana was a surprise inclusion within the showcase. The game looked great, and Series X|S owners were rightfully excited to finally get some love from Square Enix on their platform.

With the promotional partnership between Xbox and Square Enix during the Developer’s Direct, fans who spotted the Game Pass mention on the Vision of Mana page would have little reason to doubt the game’s inclusion. Now, it looks like Xbox Series X|S owners will have to purchase the awesome-looking action-RPG when it releases alongside PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC versions later this summer.
