I pre-ordered The Talos Principle 2 bundle, and it includes The Talos Principle 1, which was released for Xbox One in 2018, but my Xbox won’t let me play 1 until 2 is released. Is this normal? It seems ridiculous. What better time to play the first one than during the time you’re waiting for the sequel to be released?
Digital Devolver is the publisher of the game. I’d send them an email and see if they can make things right.
That or contact Xbox support.
