First, welcome to the Xbox community. The escapists 2 is a game that was given away on Xbox Live Gold this month, it is not a game that is featured in the game pass catalog, Xbox Live Gold games can only be played and redeemed on Xbox consoles.

Check this official information at the link below, please.

*Thank you in advance for contacting the community, I hope this can help you. Let me know if you have more questions please.

Oh ok thank you i dont have more questions have a great day!

On Xbox, you could buy normally, as it is available for sales too, but for those who are Xbox Live Gold subscribers on the console, you get the game for free.

so wait you couldn't have bought it the only way to get it was if you had gold?
