If you have any fondness for the previous Dark Pictures games, then you absolutely need to play Directive 8020. As somebody who’s played them all, it’s the best of the bunch. The sci-fi setting is everything I hoped it would be, the gameplay upgrades are great, some of the decisions you must make are darn difficult, and Turning Points is an awesome inclusion.

Does Directive 8020 have Multiplayer or Couch Co-op?
Yes, the game will feature a 5-player offline couch co-op mode via the returning 'Movie Night' mode. A full-fledged 5-player online co-op mode will be added to the game as part of a free post-launch update.
The Dark Pictures: Directive 8020 won't be coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch. However, it may join the Game Pass catalog after a 6 to 12 month period.
The game features a new feature called "Turning Points," which will allow players to immediately rewind a decision to get their preferred narrative outcome. However, this feature will be part of the Explorer mode (playstyle) and won't be available in the Survival mode, where your choices are locked in.
