Oxenfree II: Lost Signalsis the follow-up to 2016’s indie classicOxenfree, which released on Xbox and even came to Game Pass.OxenfreedeveloperNight School Studios was acquired by Netflix in 2021. The sequel may still eventually hit Xbox at some point in the future, but the omission of an Xbox release at launch has raised some eyebrows in the wake of other games that have unexpectedly been dropped from the console.

One notable example isOctopath TravelerII, sequel to another former Xbox Game Pass title. In fact, publisher Square Enix as a whole seems to be avoiding Xbox like the plague, and rumor is that there has been some sort of falling out between the two. In a response to Britain’s CMA pertaining to the Activision Blizzard deal, Microsoft revealed that Square Enix RPG juggernautFinal Fantasy XVIwill not be releasing on Xbox due to exclusivity agreements with Sony.
