Sniper Elite 5 joins Xbox Game Pass in May

Great news on the Gamepass addition. Side note: anyone else feel like the value of that deluxe edition is horrendous? $30 for skins/consumables and 3 missions?

On my birthday😏😅👏👍

They need a modern game where you can shoot off Putin's balls.

This series is fantastic. I need to complete 2, 3 and 4 still.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrr coop incoming with my online buddy.

I want this but based on how they have been doing multiple season passes for Zombie Army, which I won't put up with, I'm going to wait two years before touching this

Yeah after the shit they pulled with zombie army 4 no thanks. 3 season passes all wayyyyyyyy overpriced and seemingly there’s going to be a 4th season pass based on the new achievements that were added. Absolute garbage. I miss the old Rebellion.

Let's just all hope Uncle Putin is assassinated or jailed for life soon. I want to live long enough to play this!

Can't complain about a day 1 gamepass release! Can complain about a "season pass one" release... I'm tired of games trying to stay relevant long beyond their cycle of play. A 20-25 hour game just doesn't need 2 years of add-ons.

Authentic in SE4 was tough... Authentic+ was bullshit! game cheats hard. hoping we don't have to deal with that again... other than that Auth+ run, i have enjoyed every moment of the SE series!

We may see a lot more games releasing like this, banking on increased DLC/Season Pass sales from the boosted playerbase given by Game Pass more than making up for lost sales from those with GP who would otherwise have bought the game.

Fortunately, the complete edition of Sniper 4 was on sale for dirt cheap last month and I picked it up.

Anyway...this is cool that such a marquee non Xbox Studio game is being added to GP on release. What doesn't excite me though is "Season Pass One". I'm quite sick of multiple season passes in games and Rebellion's business strategy seems to be to have them in all their games recently.

Love this series. Fun to play games and better than any other similar game on the console (The Sniper Contracts series isn't even close to being as good not to mention the other sniping games available).

I've only got a few achievements left for 4 to complete on hardest difficulty. I've watched many guides and videos and I just cannot fathom out the bullet drop mechanics it was driving me insane so I just binned them. May try again

Danny Bizz said:Yes, great addition of the base game to game pass.

But I am not a fan of Rebellion's DLC / Seasons these days. I will wait a year or two before actually spending real money outside of game pass.

Incidentally, the Season pass is ONLY 2 missions (the 3rd mission is a "preorder" Hitler's-mountain-chateau freebie) :

Straight from Rebellion's horse's mouth:
"Players who pre-order Sniper Elite 5 will also receive the latest mission of the much heralded ‘Target Führer’ campaign entitled “Wolf Mountain”.

And, yes, in true Rebellion fashion - £30 for the season pass is too much.

The Season Pass will give you:
2 Campaign Missions
2 Weapon skin packs
2 Character Packs
6 Weapon Packs

I enjoy the series but the Authentic plus difficulties can F right off

Will play the base game on GamePass and buy the full edition with all season passes in 2/3 years in the sale for 10 bucks :P
