Yesterday, we informed you about the improved PC version of NieR Automata on Xbox Gamepass. And, from the looks of it, there is another PC game that appears to be more polished than its original Steam version. That game is The Evil Within, which now features a FOV option and an FPS mode.
According to numerous reports, the Xbox Gamepass version appears to be smoother and less janky than the Steam version. Moreover, this new version has an Infinite Ammo Mode, and Low/Medium options for Camera Bob. Additionally, there are now icons for lantern/sneaking in the first-person view. Lastly, the game’s stamina has been adjusted as you can now run for 5 seconds at default stamina (instead of 3 seconds).
Now in case the FPS mode sounds familiar, Tango Gameworks added a similar mode to The Evil Within 2. The first game never had such an mode, so yeah… this is a brand new addition to it.
We currently don’t know whether Bethesda and Tango Gameworks plan to bring these improvements to the Steam version.

“halo 4 on gamepass is actually good”
To me it seems like Microsoft is paying for better versions of games to make their cancerous store/service more appealing
Or just people happy in general.
MS Store / Xbox app eats Bnet and Epic for breakfast.
No, they just used Xbox version which always had those options
Edit: My mistake, company QLOC just confirmed that they was hired for new PC remaster of Nier Automata. It looks that MS paid third party companies for remasters of those old games.
Sorry for my mistake above. It looks that MS paid for creating remasters with 4K textures and more. Company QLOC just confirmed that they were hired to create Nier Automata remaster for Game Pass
They’ll never port the actually good games to PC and that’s sad. To make it even worse Xenia is a piece of shlt and we’ll probably never emulate these games properly too.
Calm down, guys. UWP is not as refined as Steam, thats true, but its not as cancerous as EGS or Beth.net either. At least its good to know a better PC port of games like Automata and TEW exist now
At least with Beth u can choose where to install your games and it does not feel like some mobile app store for 80IQ people
I’d rather own my games, f*koff Microsoft
This is why choice is important. You cab buy Forza Horizon 4 on Steam/Windows Store for 70 usd… or play if for 1 usd on Game Pass if you don’t need to own it forever.
hahaha the haters in here man. holy sh*t. hating on MS for maiking the games better. xbox app works just fine, dont see why you faggoty faggy ni**er lovers hate it so much
The bad reputation that UWP games have are fully justified.
It’s been proven UWP has worse performance than Denuvo-plagued games.

I’ve known a few people whose UWP Cuphead saves would randomly deleted over and over. They subsequently played the Win32 Steam ver and had no further issues.
When Ori and the Will of the Wisps first came out the Xbox and UWP vers had performance, lag, etc issues, but the Win32 Steam ver was perfectly fine.
When I played the Game Pass UWP ver of Halo: MCC I never had an achievements unlock. I subsequently bought the game on Steam and had no further issues with achievements unlocking.
Lol, first:
and then:
All the improvements are canceled by any DRM restrictions. I can tolerate games exclusive to a game platform (provided it can be pirated) but exclusive patches is another level of a$$hole.

I dunno what version of the app you have used but I can confirm, you can run mods on Xbox UWP app atleast for a few games I have tried.
Because those aren’t UWP. They did say, not all the games on the app will be UWP. You can’t run a damn thing in UWP, because you must first find the file (good luck) & the exe for UWP aren’t really exe’s. They cannot be tagged or tethered.
Modding was not supported in 2015 when Windows 10 was launched but MS added it 3 years later in Windows 10 1803 update. Now games from Windows Store support modding
@Sr_Chalice:disqus I am on trial with Game Pass, if you know a UWP that doesn’t support, let me know I can check it out.
Is Timmy Tencent behind the scenes?
Timmy is not in the DRM business.
I Hope something like this happens to arkham knight it really deserves to be fixed
It just deserves to be forgotten!
I dunno, it wasn’t a bad game when properly patched.
Already fixed by now, Microsoft would just add a DRM patch if that’s what you like.
Could this point to a PS5/XSX release for The Evil Within?
Good luck getting a PS5 enhancement patch now MS owns Bethesda.
I barely remember this game, and the few memories left are of a boring game.
Is my memory betraying me, or this deserves another chance?
I liked it, if you like RE4 style horror games you should give the torrent a go.
Maybe I will, since there’s few games to play right now.
The version you can actually own out there has a trainer by enjoy that had an fov slider in it for years, it does make the game much better. The jarring screen effects and constant light flickering is what is so bad about this otherwise excellent game. Gatesteinberg and his associates at monopolysoft just doing their thing.
I’m tired with this “exclusivity feature”…
As a casual gamer xbox game pass PC is the best $10 a month I have spent in awhile. Prevents me from buying games I wouldn’t otherwise play on steam now I can install them all be as confused of what to watch on netflix as I am about what to play on PC. The simple solution is usually Tetris Effect heh.
If ms paid for a version that otherwise wouldn’t exist then I don’t blame them for keeping it exclusive. And good on them for improving older games no one else would touch. Shame as it looks like these enhanced ports can’t be purchased separate for Game Pass by the looks of it.
FPP mode, DLCs are only available after creating and linking BethesdaNet account with XBL -.-
Otherwise “FPP Mode” is greyed out, but don’t worry you don’t miss anything game is not made for this FPP view, button icons appear 30cm froom front of your face…
