Is Goat Simulator 3 coming to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus?

I've got some baaaaaaaaad news.

The long-awaited sequel to the iconic Goat Simulator game, Goat Simulator 3, was finally released on Nov. 17, 2022. The developers at Coffee Stain decided to skip the traditional sequel order and go straight to Goat Simulator 3, and it looks like the team has improved and increased the amount of udder chaos and shenanigans.

Players will be able to destroy and interact with a massive open world and will even be able to play cooperatively or against each other in a cavalcade of wacky mysteries. The game is available for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and the Epic Games Store.

But with any popular release, especially one as anticipated as Goat Simulator 3, players and fans want to know if their premium gaming subscriptions will include a release of the new title.

Will Goat Simulator 3 be coming to Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus?

Goat Simulator 3 will not be coming to either Xbox Game Pass or PlayStation Plus, at least not immediately. Coffee Stain Studios, a subsidiary of Coffee Stain Holding, is fully owned by the rapidly growing mega-holding company Embracer Group and is not a third-party developer affiliated with Microsoft or Sony.

It also seems that Coffee Stain Studios has an exclusivity agreement with Epic Games on PC, being the sole platform hosting it and providing an in-game bonus in Fortnite. With this promotion lasting until September 2023, it’s unclear how this will affect the game’s availability in programs like Game Pass or PlayStation Plus.

But there is a good chance that Goat Simulator 3 could come to Game Pass sometime in the future, considering the fact that the original Goat Simulator title is available on both Xbox and PC Game Pass. The original Goat Simulator is also on the PlayStation store for $10 but isn’t included in any service such as PlayStation Plus.

Players will still be able to purchase and play Goat Simulator 3 on either Xbox or PlayStation, but they will have to purchase it directly.
