UPDATE JUNE 27, 2024: A representative of SteamWorld Heist 2 publisher Thunderful has contacted IGN to further clarify the situation regarding the game coming to
Game Pass, putting the confusion down to a video editing mistake.
Thunderful has insisted it
inadvertently included a Game Pass logo in SteamWorld Heist 2's original announcement trailer and, as soon as it noticed the mistake, unlisted the trailer and replaced it with one without the
Game Pass logo. It said none of its messaging beyond this original announcement trailer has promised that the game was coming to
Game Pass.
