Double Fine's 2005 classic Psychonauts was temporarily free on Xbox this morning, and unfortunately it happened while we were tucked up in our comfy, comfy beds in the UK!
It looks like it was available in certain regions for around a two-hour period from the Microsoft Store, but it has since reverted back to its usual price, suggesting it was just a glitch on Microsoft's end.
However, given that this month marks Double Fine's 20th anniversary, and Psychonauts 2 was recently delayed to 2021, we wouldn't be surprised if it's intentional - perhaps it just started a bit too early?
In any case, we'll keep an eye on this and let you know if we spot it going free again.

I missed out on this, oh well 🤦♂️
@BANJO Even I did with this one!
A few people are still reporting that it's working for them, so you never know. I've been seeing full price on it for the past few hours though.
@FraserG Fingers crossed it was intentional but just started abit early and soon reverts back to free 😁
I looked it up on the online store on my phone and clicked the see price button and it said 9.99. I hit the back button after that and it refreshed the product description page where it now said free and let me grab it.
I missed out on this, sadly
Damn, missed it. It's funny, I looked at this game on the store the other day. I own a physical copy, but I'd rather do digital so I can beat it before the second game comes out (my X1 disc drive doesn't work). Hopefully, it goes free again!
[Obligatory This Should Be On GamePass Post]
Edit: now that I think about it... are there any OG Xbox games on GamePass?
My friend told me about it last night and it had been free for 4 hours I guess, but I would try and download it and it would just give me an error. Well, I kept trying and eventually it let me download it for free and I freaked out lol. I was planning on buying it like next week too.
I'm just got a physical copy anyways for PS4, so I am good for now.
All I need is confirmation that Psychonauts 2 is Physical as well. Oh, and maybe the PSVR pre-sequel too.
@Tharsman I believe so yes! I downloaded panzer dragoon orta from game pass
@Tharsman Currently there's Fuzion Frenzy and Panzer Dragoon Orta. Game Pass doesn't have many backwards compatible games in general.
