Going on to win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2022, it’s been talked about as one of the greatest games of all time by many. From its deep combat to challenging, otherworldly boss battles and the sense of wonder it instills as it sets players out on their own adventures through its sprawling and dangerous open world,Elden Ringhas hours upon hours of intense gameplay and exploration on offer.RELATED:Xbox Game Pass Adds 2 New Games With ‘Very Positive’ ReviewsXbox Vice President Sarah Bond constructed a tweet that seems to be hinting atElden Ring’spotential appearance on Xbox Game Pass. The tweet consisted of just two emojis: the face of an elderly man and a ring, accompanied by the Xbox hashtag. Directly underneath the post Bond posted the emojis once again, this time with an image from the game containing theElden Ringlogo.
While seeing the Vice President of Xbox tweeting aboutElden Ringin this fashion does make it seem like something’s bound to happen, it’s important to note that Bond has been doing this exact thing on Twitter for several other games as well. Titles likeRavenlok,Tunic,Grounded, Stardew Valley, Psychonauts 2, as well as some ofXbox’s big upcoming games likeFableandClockwork Revolutionhave all gotten the same emoji treatment by Bond in recent weeks, likely just as part of a fun guessing game for her followers. That said, considering that all of these games mentioned are currently available on Xbox Game Pass or are confirmed to be in the future, it wouldn’t be unwise to thinkElden Ringcould make its way to the service as well.
Elden Ringis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
