Editor's Note:

This is a wall that many Xbox users will not be willing to make. It is one thing to pay the monthly subscription to this title, but another is to pay for Game Pass, something that perhaps not many are willing to do. In this way, it is questioned whether Xbox forced Square Enix to implement this measure, in order to increase the number of users on its service.
