Talking Point: Are You Excited For Capcom's Big Xbox Game Pass Launch This Month?

We recently rounded up all of July's confirmed Xbox Game Pass titles so far, and while the list is currently quite short (we're still waiting on more reveals!), one major release is already starting to stand out.

Capcom's Exoprimal is landing day one on the service in the middle of the month - July 14th to be exact. While the upcoming co-op shooter isn't an entry from one of the Japanese company's esteemed franchises, it is a brand-new Capcom IP, and the title still looks like something to get quite excited about.

Back in March, the game's open beta got some really solid feedback on Xbox, despite the game seemingly going under the radar for quite a few Xbox owners. We're expecting a lot more eyes on the full Game Pass release, mind.

About a month ago we got another deep dive from Capcom as well, which impressed us at the time. We're curious as to how much depth Exoprimal will have in the long run, but as a crazy co-op dino shooter that we can all jump into as part of a Game Pass sub? Heck yeah!

Having said all of this, we're curious as to whether you're looking forward to giving Exoprimal a go when it launches on Xbox Game Pass later this month. There's not long to go, folks!

Vote in the poll down below and let us know what excites you most about Exoprimal in the comments!

I’m still hoping this is a backdoor reboot/sequel to Dino Crisis, and at the end we get a surprise reveal that the redhead’s real name is Regina.

It's CapGOD they've been on a roll recently. But i'm in two minds.
1) This looks like mindless fun
2) They have to miss sometime soon right? It's been hit after hit
Look forward to giving it a go

I will try it but it hasn't really captured my attention yet. It doesn't really strike me as fun or interesting but since it is on gamepass I will give it a chance. There is no way I would pay full price for this game, even with glowing reviews I would wait until it hits the $20-$30 range.

How to make dinosaurs boring:
1) put them in a co-op PVE full-priced live service game.
2) that's it, you did it!

@themightyant didn't they catch some flack around the release of re2 & 3 remake, for changes made, the very short length, wack multiplayer dlc etc
Could count that as a miss given that the mp releases were stand alone?

I'm more excited about Exoprimal than any other game this year outside of Mario Wonder. Starfield looks like it might be a good game; but Capcom has earned trust in putting fun first.

I tried the beta and it was very much ok. I just… don’t have much to say about it, honestly. It was sort of fun, but after three matches, I felt like I’ve played enough of it, unless there’s more to it at release.

Capcom has been firing on all cylinders lately so I'll give Exoprimal a go, for sure.

Hyped might be pushing it but yes I’m intrigued. I’ll have a crack at it. Not sure how much I’ll be able to play though, traveling to the sacred lands of China soon enough..

@Cherip-the-Ripper RE2 seemed pretty well received on the whole I think. There were some criticisms about changing the scenarios, but as the original took 4 full playthroughs personally that was a welcome change to just 2 despite some other minor weaknesses.

RE3 was more mixed. It was mostly seen as a good game but was short. The Nemesis was worse than RE2's Mr X which was a shame. And there were some MP issues. Still a good game, and not sure it would be accurate to call it a miss. Plus it sold 6.4+ million too!

@Magabro Agreed. They lost me at "co-op shooter". Just not my thing.

I played both betas and it was really fun. I'm excited for the full release.

Looks cool, but it's just too hard to line up a play session with friends, and a game like this isn't the same w/ randoms or solo. Same reason I won't try Redfall.

Have zero interest in this it'll probably be dead in year like most of these live service games just make a new Dino Crisis.

Never put loaded statements as survey answers! That's a taboo for statuary science.

The answer "Yes, anything from Capcom is worth a go" is one. Besides introducing the idea of brand name loyalty (a tangential discussion), it's otherwise not meaningfully different from the other "yes" answer.

Capcom is rocking at the moment.

This could be good. I hope it's not too grindy and full of microtransactions, but more a pick-up casual PvE.

We will see.

I played the demo, which seemed to have lots of aspects of other games bolted together. I played a few classes and really didnt feel much that grabbed me. The game admittedly was a demo, but felt so repetitive I could imagine it getting boring after a while.
