Transformers Franchise Coming to Xbox Game Pass

As anticipation builds for the next Transformers game, it's worth recalling a time when players were flooded with various games based on the Hasbro franchise during the Xbox 360/PS3 era. Though the quality of these games varied, including the beloved Cybertron series, they were removed from the digital storefront a few years ago, leaving enthusiasts to seek out old physical copies to play.

Hope sparks anew for fans, as recent successful developments surrounding the Activision Xbox merger have them yearning for these games to make their way to Game Pass. During a San Diego Comic-Con panel Q&A, the Hasbro team mentioned that adding these games to Game Pass would be simple. However, they also expressed frustration, noting that Activision is uncertain about the location of these games in their building due to various acquisitions over time.

Nonetheless, Hasbro remains optimistic, hoping that the recent acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Xbox will prompt a thorough search through archives and hard drives to unearth these classic games. Their ultimate desire is to give people a chance to relive the gaming experiences.

As Transformers Reactivate approaches its release on consoles and PC in 2024, many fans are likely to share Hasbro's sentiment, eager to revisit older Transformers games. In other gaming news, players suggest that Diablo 4 should learn from Path of Exile 2, and Team Fortress 2 now supports 100-player matches, although Valve is cautious about recommending it.
