Victoria 3
Victoria 3 will not be on PC Game Pass at launch, but will be available exclusively on Steam. The announcement was made by Paradox Interactive, which did not explain in detail the reasons for this step backwards. If you remember, the agreement with Microsoft had even been announced with a trailer:Let's read what Paradox wrote:
"The game will be a Steam exclusive at launch. our partners have decided that Victoria 3 will not be part of the Game Pass and will not be sold in the Microsoft Store. Xbox fans of Paradox's epic grand strategy titles can enjoy our other games such as Crusader Kings III, Stellaris, Shadowrun Trilogy, Hearts of Iron IV and others that are on Game Pass already now and we can't wait to share more details of our next collaboration with Xbox in the future. "
Despite the talk of future agreements with Microsoft and despite the release make no mention of disagreements between the two companies, it is clear that something behind the scenes must have happened. Hard to say what (a failed renegotiation?), But at this point we don't know if Victoria 3 will ever make it to the Game Pass or not.
For the rest we remind you that Victoria 3 will be available starting from October 25, 2022 on Steam, only for PC.
