The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales, a game available on Xbox Game Pass from its launch, has received a significant update that addresses a previously exclusive issue on the platform. In this narrative adventure, players assume the role of Etienne Quist, a writer-turned-thief who loses his ability to write after committing a heinous crime. Their objective is to explore different book worlds and steal rare and legendary items. While The Bookwalker was released on various platforms, it also debuted on Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers enjoy access to a diverse range of video games without any additional cost while they remain subscribed. Along with this, they also receive benefits such as Xbox Live Gold and exclusive member discounts. The game selection is a major draw for users, and the service is not limited to Xbox consoles, but is also available for PC gamers. However, it is worth noting that there are slight differences between the Steam version and the Xbox Game Pass PC version of The Bookwalker.
A problem with the Xbox Game Pass version of the game was brought up by user Friends with Benedicts in a Steam forum post. They pointed out that the game's text was misaligned and off-center. Further investigation by the user revealed that other players were also experiencing the same issue. A subsequent edit in their post mentioned that Microsoft's updates for the Xbox Game Pass PC versions are slower compared to Steam's, as updates require approval from the publisher before being implemented. However, the post also urged fans to be understanding and patient with the developers. Fortunately, a recent patch for The Bookwalker's Xbox Game Pass version has successfully resolved this problem.
Oleg Sergeev, a developer for The Bookwalker at tinyBuild, posted a reply on the original forum post. He mentioned that the patch for the Xbox Game Pass version is now live and includes new language support, improved controls, and enhanced audio and visuals. Sergeev advised gamers to contact the developers if they encounter any further issues or have feedback about the game.
Friends with Benedicts acknowledged that the post had unintentionally attracted unwanted attention and caused trouble for the developers. They apologized for creating a separate topic on the Steam Community forum. However, they expressed gratitude towards Sergeev for being transparent about the issue and thanked gamers for their patience while the developers worked on fixing The Bookwalker for Xbox Game Pass.
