Its Xbox Game Pass arrival has first surfaced via the Xbox Game Pass app, detailing a Dec. 7 release for the game. While available via Xbox Game Pass on Xbox Series X|S and PC, plus Xbox Cloud Gaming, the game is currently unavailable natively on Xbox One consoles.
Released in 2020 prior to the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles, developer Croteam was unable to release an immediate port of Serious Sam 4 to the PS4 and Xbox One due to an exclusivity deal with Google Stadia, according to a statement given to Kotaku. Croteam did confirm that the game would come to PS4 and Xbox One when the exclusivity with Google Stadia lapsed at an unspecified date.
On Xbox Series X|S consoles, the game weighs 30GB, which is a modest amount of space in a world with shooters hitting triple-digit file sizes. Its arrival on Xbox Game Pass is an unexpected addition to the service, delivering upon Croteam’s promise for its 2021 console debut.
