Of course it isn't. Gamepass and AAA games are released in vanilla form - always to seed an old game to sell DLC and MTX.
... except it's not the Director's Cut. Fucking worthless.

Yeah, but in this case not only is it the outdated and pointless (savegames transfer but you really should start over when playing DC) vanilla version, there's no DC upgrade available at all. No idea if it will be added eventually, but there's nothing to indicate it's happening anytime soon.

Ok yeah that goes against even their MTX system for GP at that point. How do they not have the director's cut on MS Store? Probably a contract with Sony stops it. :Mystery:

i think in Death Strandings case its more a Sony blocking deal, Sony published the PS4/PS5 versions of the game and probably paid extra for the directors cut while the PC version on steam was published by 505 which has its own Microsoft deals.
It is interesting on steam though you can buy the DC and pay $10 extra to upgrade but on the windows store there is only the base with no option at all for the DC. Plus its not on the xbox console at all.

Some more color on that - 'Death Stranding''s PC Game Pass release didn't involve Sony
tl;dr, basically what others have said... Sony owns the IP, wasn't involved in this coming to PC game pass, this was all between MS and 505.

Can't say I'll miss it.
I think Too Human is the only 360 game I've played in at least the last 5 years.

RDR 1 on a series X is absolutely amazing and a great game, its the only 360 game I played though. microsoft put in higher draw distances, anti aliasing, and a lot more stuff that makes it look and play great. sadly its still capped at 30 fps and it seems unlikely a PC version will ever come out

I got a Series X this year and mostly just use it for gamepass. The only game I actually bought for it was Red Dead and dreamcast Virtual On game that was released on 360. Are there any other older games like this that run really well on series x I should be playing?

immortality and Immortals Fenyx and Commandos 3 are out on gamepass. Immortality is a FMV kinda game made by a studio of just 3 people so I wonder if its too artsy for my tastes, it is 27 gigs so pretty fucking huge. Plus the high scores set off some alarm bells in my head, the usual "game journalists want games to be high art".
Oh well, if i hate it... uninstall, cost me nothing but some time. The guy who did Immortality did Telling Lies and Her Story, never played either game but I know some people love them and some hate them.

Yes I’ve posted many reviews throughout the last 2 years.
MS did two things:
1) Near the end of the Xbox One era they went in and physically revamped a shit load of games. Games like Oblivion, Fallout 3 RDR 1 etc to be “in house” full remasters with the cooperation of the companies. Even then on plain ol OG Xbox one RDR was phenomenal. On the Xbox one X it was absolutely stunning. This was 2018-19.
2) They added FPS boost to only Series X.
FPS Boost works off the original remaster of 360 backwards titles and legitimately makes the games better than even PC. Even on my 3090 with the best nexus resolution mods it still does not look as good as say fallout new Vegas on my series X. (Never mind the clunkiness is gone with the frames)
Here is a list of 360 FPS boost games.
That means they are 60 FPS or 120FPS.(which is fucking great)
This list is a year old. They have added more titles.
Games Featuring FPS Boost
FPS Boost is a feature employing a variety of new methods for nearly doubling the original framerate on select titles.
