Xbox has cancelled its Project Moorcroft perk, a concept that involves bringing pre-release game demos to Xbox Game Pass, four years after its original announcement. Despite this, Xbox has stated that they will consider other ways to support and include gameplay demos through festivals through the ID@Xbox program. The original project was intended to bring demos of upcoming games to Game Pass through direct financing and partnerships with third-party developers. However, four-years after its announcement, Project Moorcro has yet to gain any real traction or be seen as an active Game Pass feature. Instead, the concept has been replaced by ID@XBox demo festivals, which allow players to try games out early and provide developers with wishlists and more visibility as they work towards release.
