“I thought Control was really good,” Spencer said around the 44 minute mark of the stream. It was first noticed by video game news Twitter Nibel on December 5, 2019. Phil Spencer spoke to Control on the Game Pass during an Extra Life Mixer Stream hosted on December 2, 2019. It would seem that Remedy’s Game Awards 2019-nominated Control is coming to the Xbox Game Pass at some point. The already healthy list of games is being joined by plenty more through next year, but head of Xbox Phil Spencer just revealed an absolute zinger that wasn’t on any lists just yet. The Xbox Game Pass has a lot going into it through the end of 2019 and into 2020. Shacknews will follow this story with any further details or updates. Control is neither confirmed nor planned for Xbox Game Pass as of yet. It doesn't seem like Control is entirely off the table, but it seems abudantly clear that Spencer misspoke. "While we are always updating the library and looking for new ways to provide our members with value and choice in their games, we do not have plans to bring Control to the library at this time." "We’re aware that Control was mentioned as coming to the Xbox Game Pass library and can confirm this was in error," the Microsoft team wrote. The Microsoft Game Pass Team also issued a statement in regards to Spencer's claim, doubly confirming that Control is not on the schedule for Game Pass at this time. The Control Remedy Twitter account recently reported that Phil Spencer's claim was incorrect and that they have no information to share on Control coming to Xbox Game Pass at this time. UPDATE ( - 9:50AM) : It would appear that Phil Spencer spilled the beans a little ahead of schedule on Control coming to Xbox Game Pass.
