Original story:

AEW’s upcoming video game, Fight Forever, will reportedly be available on Xbox Live Game pass at launch.

WrestleZone is reporting that the game, which does not have a release date, will appear on Xbox Game Pass on day one. The subscription service allows those who subscribe to download from a library of titles for a monthly fee at no additional cost.

The game was shown off at the GamesCon press conference earlier this year in Cologne, Germany, winning an award for Best Sports/Racing game. It was also shown at the Tokyo Game Show back in September. Kenny Omega is heavily involved in the game’s development, and will include a full creation suite and a variety of mini-games.

Fight Forever is being developed by Yukes, the former developer of the WWE SmackDown video game series, and is scheduled for release on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. It will be published by THQ Nordic.
