Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke’s strong stance against adding “Baldur’s Gate 3” to Game Pass is in sharp contrast to another AAA masterpiece “Starfield”.“Starry Sky” has been included in the Game Pass subscription service since its release in September this year.This decision directly makes “Starry Sky” one of the best-selling games in the United States in September 2023. However, the quality of the first games launched by the Game Pass service recently has been uneven, although the costs and benefits brought by the first launch of the Game Pass service have won the support of some independent game developers.
