Xbox Game Pass is Being Blamed for Exoprimal’s End
Whereas some people are dead set onblaming Xbox for the game’s failure, there are also contradicting opinions about it. Some people are claiming that if the game had not been lucky, it would’ve ended in 3 months instead of a year because it was not advertised and marketed properly.

However, another user brought forward a contradicting opinion, bashing the former by saying:
Gamepass helped it. Brought players and money in to Capcom
Unfortunately, nobody bought the game on PS5 (as usual).
Hint: the same thing will happen to Kunitsu Gami. No one will buy it on PS5 & the only revenue will be from GP

Xbox’s involvement in the game’s destiny was not a bad decision, as it gave it a platform it could not make for itself.Game Passhelped in increasing the reach of the game, which was walking on a very thin line as it has been since the very beginning.
Capcom announced the end of live service for the game via a note posted by them on the officialwebsiteof the game. They still have running servers, so the game is accessible, but it’s life as a live online multiplayer shooter is at an end.

All gameplay modes, including the main Dino Survival mode, as well as endgame content such as Savage Gauntlet and Time Loop Rebellion, are still available to play. The game is also narrative driven and can be enjoyed solo as well. Although it was initially released with a focus on its multiplayer audience with a large reach on a live content model, this did not work in their favor.
The Game’s Plans for the Future
After the end of season 4, on July 11, the game will be adapting to a recyclable model for the release of their future seasons, starting on the first of every month. Capcom will be releasing season 1 again and then continuing the same until season 4.
In addition to this recyclable model, season passes from 1–3 will also be put on sale. Capcom has confirmed that the game will still be very much available to be played and enjoyed, both solo and online. Online mode will add bots to the game if matchmaking is not up to par so as to not provide a bad experience to its players.
Exoprimalwas anticipated to be a success for the developer; however, the game does not even feature on Capcom’s platinum selling titles, which means that it has sold less than a million copies till date.
