The official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account posted a “screenshot” of a fake email apparently sent byMelissa McGamepass, a fake name it has used to similar Game Pass teases in the past. The caption on Twitter suggests that the email contains a tease for a game that’s coming to Xbox Game Pass, and so fans have been tearing it apart for clues. The sentence “Has anyone else noticed a mysterious signal in the distance lately or am I the anomaly in the situation?” in particular is believed to be the tease fans are looking for.

Many have come to the conclusion that this must be a tease forOutridersbecause the words “mysterious signal” and “anomaly” both appear in theOutridersstory trailer from February 2020. And as pointed out by GameSpot, theOutridersdemo concludes with players going after a “mysterious signal.” While Xbox Game Pass could be teasing a completely different game, it does seem to be pointing inOutriders' direction.

A game likeOutridersneeds a strong community to survive. Even thoughOutridersdoes not have live service elementslike many other looter-shooters, the game is still built around co-op gameplay and its success will determine whether or not it gets serious post-launch support in the form of new content expansions and the like. Being available through Xbox Game Pass will ensure that it has a built-in community right off the bat, and could go a long way in making sure it is an overall success.

Microsoft has been especially aggressive with Xbox Game Pass lately. Besides the potential forOutridersto come to the service, it also justadded a bunch of Bethesda gamesas well, including some of the company’s most critically-acclaimed titles. It just goes to show how serious Microsoft is about making Xbox Game Pass a must-have subscription for Xbox gamers.

Outriderslaunches April 1 for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
