2025 has been an amazing year for big monumental game releases so far with titles like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it's also been terrific for the indie scene as well. One recent game that got a lot of attention was Raccoon Logic Studios' Revenge of the Savage Planet — an action/adventure sci-fi title that came out May 8 and launched on Xbox Game Pass, with platform availability on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PCs, PS5, and PS4.
Despite bringing the game to Game Pass, though, studio head Alex Hutchinson has warned of the service's impact in an interview with Gamers Social Club. Specifically, Hutchinson believes day one Game Pass releases lead to games being "devalued," resulting in less full game sales, lower profits, and financial struggles.
