The team behind upcoming Xbox Game Pass mech-farming sim Lightyear Frontier has unfortunately announced a delay. The title was set to arrive on Xbox Game Pass in early access form during Spring 2023, but that window has now been pushed back.
At present, we don't have another release date for the title, as the team feels it "can't commit to a launch window right now". The dev says it will "communicate a new one" as soon as possible.
It's no doubt a disappointment that Xbox Game Pass is losing something from its Spring lineup, but if this delay results in a more polished Lightyear Frontier experience later in the year, we're absolutely all for it.

Eek. Well, I wish they every success is getting out the polished vision they wanted.
This is a game I'm looking forward to so let's hope it's the best version it can be upon release!
Do we need another farming RPG?
@AlwaysPlaying On Xbox? Yes. On Switch? No
I'm not againt this. Games need to release in the best possible way. But with games being delayed one after the other... The announcements and release dates should be more carefully chosen. And I'm not talking about just Game Pass. Gaming in general.
Over the years we have accepted some bad things and taken them as normal, and it keeps getting worse.
@Lup would you prefer not hearing any dates and then surprise…? So many factors play into it. Has the developer built an engine or using a prebuilt, did a new software or hardware update happen in your build cycle, did staff get a better paying gig….
@AlwaysPlaying Yes, we absolutely do.
@Lup Yeah, I agree. I'd rather not have my mind set on a date or window just to have it delayed. Better to wait until they're sure to name a date.
