Ahh another game released from the clutches of EGS exclusivity. Love to see it.

Good. I've been waiting for this to come to steam before buying it.

I know it s a timed exclusive but surprised that there’s no word on an xbox release. Wondering if the exclusivity deal is for longer than a year.

That is a good point. I guess there's a chance it could just shadow drop on Xbox. Or it could be another FFVII Remake situation lol

September is a year since release. That’s why they’ve announced the Steam release, as the EGS exclusivity is up. So you would have expected news on the Xbox version as well but…

If its a contractual obligation about no announcement, then sure. But you’d expect the EGS exclusivity to have the same clause regarding the PC version on Steam, but it doesn’t appear there is such a clause.

I think you are erroneously conflating difference the on exclusivity release and announcements. Deathloop is stated to be exclusive for a year. Microsoft aren’t going to blindly drop it on day 366 without a prior announcement.
The prevailing rumour with Deathloop has DLC planned and that they’ll launch the game on Xbox when the DLC, similar to what Bugsnax did.
