The next standout game from Xbox Game Pass has been delayed a day for release. Yesterday, January 5th, Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate would be boosted with a new game: Killer Queen Black. However, on January 4, the game’s official Twitter account announced that the game would no longer be coming to Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate on January 5, and has previously been delayed to Q1 2021, meaning the game will now be released sometime . between now and April 1, 2021.
According to the game’s official Twitter account, the delay comes down to the developer’s commitment to quality. With regard to this, it then calls a “problem” in development, although it does not specify what this problem is.
“It is our commitment to quality that has caused a hitch in our release date for Xbox,” the game’s official Twitter account said in a statement to the news. “While we won’t be available on Game Pass before the original January 5 release date, we will be releasing in the first quarter of 2021 to deliver an exceptional experience across platforms and with our new Xbox players.”
