ORIGINAL POST (14/03): The Xbox Game Pass Twitter account is notorious for teasing upcoming game additions ahead of time, and it would appear that they’re continuing that trend going into the second half of March. After adding 20 Bethesda games to the subscription service, it would appear they’re teasing the arrival of Square Enix’s looter shooter Outriders. Check out the tweet below.

So How Does This Confirm Outriders?
As mentioned, the Xbox Game Pass Twitter account is partial to throwing hints in their tweets to sneakily confirm upcoming games. Some folks on Reddit have made the connection that the phrase “Has anyone else noticed a mysterious signal appearing in the distance lately or am I the anomaly in this situation?” is similar to the opening prologue to Outriders, which received a demo a few weeks ago.
In the Outriders prologue, you arrive on the planet of Enoch and discover a distant signal that’s broadcasting unusually. Before you have a chance to discover where the signal is properly coming from, you’re suddenly attacked by a strange storm referred to as an Anomaly. Sound familiar? Also, the fact that the tweet confirms a “new game” and not an older release, suggests that it’ll be Outriders. Whether it’ll join as a day one launch title remains to be seen, but it could be confirmed as part of the Square Enix Presents presentation on March 18th, where Outriders will be shown.
