Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve lands on October 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and today’s review roundup already puts it in the high-80s with dogfighting and the soundtrack carrying the praise. Cutscene length and unfinished multiplayer are the friction points that keep some buyers waiting, and Bandai Namco’s Ace Combat Zero pre-order bonus window closes the same day as launch.
We covered both the critic consensus and October’s Game Pass versus PS Plus calendar earlier today. Before the download queues fill up, we want one clean read from the NextGenConsole crowd on how you are actually handling this one — especially with that Zero bonus deadline sitting on launch day.
Ace Combat 8 launches October 2 — what’s your plan?
This poll is archived. Voting is closed.
- Day-one buy (digital or disc)
- Wait for patches / a sale
- Only if it hits Game Pass or a big discount later
- Skipping — backlog is full
We’ll be back next Friday with a fresh Weekly Poll. Until then: decide whether October 2 is a day-one install or another title on the wait list.
