#Xbox game pass question

known problem. Wasn't intended and now Microsoft is dragging their feet pushing the updated Version out. Also your save will not be compatible with the EA Version
ohh! so the game pass version isn't the latest?
yep
They are aware of it but it may take a few days to sort because of Microsoft 
Is there an new info if and when the game pass alpha version will be updated to EA?
hello, yes, I would also be interested in mak, think it's a bit of a shame, would start over even if it's not compatible
Hope it's fixed soon, makes me sad to have to restart..
yes I'm still waiting too and I had already played many hours until I found out about this 
is this a confirmed thing?
cos im playing on xbox gamepass and just read about the early access/alpha issue thing. :c
That progress is lost? Yeah cause Alpha saves aren't compatible with the new version.
Well with this information I'm gonna have to put my island on hold until the update is out! Least I have more knowledge for when the update comes and I got to restart 😄
Same for me. Maybe I will just buy it on Steam. I hate waiting. 🤣
I am also VERY tempted to do the same! 🤣
I'm thinking about buying it from steam as well. Who knows when it will come if it were fixed. I don't have that much game time yet, I'm only in the summer
but I'm still undecided
Can’t wait for the game pass update! It’s the only way I play games and I’m super excited for this!
I hope they update soon, microsoft taking so long that i got too antsy and bought the EA on steam instead 😆 it was worth it since the difference between alpha and EA is big
Yes, I also think that the EA version is worth it and if everything is gone afterwards anyway, I'd rather do it a bit stupid
Arghhh! Just learn about this. 25 hours of game time lost. Great game though!
I got to mid fall on my game pass version which sucks as I got a LOT of bugs, but heyho!
This is the reason why i quit my game pass subsrcibtion. Really ridiculous that microsoft cant manage to get the ea version. Had enough of it, so bought it in steam
i returned the game in microsoft because i wasnt aware of the version issue and bought it via steam, but ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the progress
but there is no new version now, is there?
Did you buy it from Game Pass and didn't have the latest version either?
if u have gamepass it is free...maybe they meant they uninstalled it?
You can also buy it there, but the update hasn't come yet because I've got a new version now and well I bought it from Steam anyway
If you have gamepass, it is only free as long as it is on there, but there's always a discounted price for it, so they may have bought it that way or they don't have game pass
yeah gamepass only has alpha so whether u buy it or get it from the pass it wont be the same as the steam ver
Thanks for the answer yes that's why I switched from the game pass to the steam version
Fingers crossed that it will be updated soon
Not really a Microsoft issue (except I guess for how long it takes to publish a new version). Seems like Stairway gave them the wrong version to release on Gamepass.
^ kinda agree with that.. haven't seen anything from the devs acknowledging the issue either??
Awesome. Not phased on the save loss it'll be easy enough to get back to where we were 😄 plus - can redesign our farms to be better
why my save is lost ?
Can we restore our save ?
Alpha saves don't work with Early Release update.
So it's gotta be a fresh start
great now I got it exactly yesterday afternoon. But you have to start all over again, so it doesn't matter where you start
Feel your pain guys, just got home and was so excited to play again but noo everything was lost .. 🥲
Thought it was just me ... Thank goodness I was only on day 3
does the game pass version have the EA version now or is it still alpha version?
