Xbox Game Pass is set to add eight fresh titles to the service, offering a diverse list of options for users. Between an anticipated AAA heavy-hitter and the sequel to a beloved indie hit, Xbox Game Pass is aiming to bring players an intriguing roster within the next two weeks.

It's been a strange month for Xbox Game Pass, as Microsoft has opted to increase the price of the monthly subscription's highest-level tier. The company received backlash earlier this month when it announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate would go from $19.99 a month to $29.99 a month. While these changes to Xbox Game Pass were definitely controversial, that hasn't stopped the service from offering a wide variety of games for users to choose from, and the next two weeks are filled with some great options.

Sci-fi title 1000xResist, roguelites Halls of Torment and Super Fantasy Kingdom, and mech-focused Bounty Star bring plenty of intriguing smaller games to the table, as well.
