Although there's a number of reasons to buy into Microsoft's current console, very few are as utterly enticing as Game Pass. The monthly subscription service that allows the user to access hundreds of games for one fixed price has undeniably become one of the best deals currently on the market, with the likes of The Outer Worlds, Grand Theft Auto 5, and Devil May Cry 5 all available to play right now for a single small fee. It appears the reasons to buy into Game Pass don't stop there, however, as Microsoft has just confirmed that four new games are coming to the service on PC.
Announced via Xbox Game Pass's Twitter account, it seems a number of exciting new titles will be hitting the store in the near future. When exactly they will be available isn't confirmed, although the account does promise that each of the games will be coming very soon.
The first title announced in the tweet is Final Fantasy 15, 2016's popular sequel to the iconic action-roleplaying fantasy franchise. It was a major hit with both critics and fans alike when it released, boasting amazing visuals, a rich open world, and a story filled with memorable characters. It's also packed with content too, boasting over 100 hours of gameplay. The second title is Wolfenstein: Youngblood, last year's co-op Wolfenstein spinoff taking place nearly two decades after the events of New Colossus. It was met with mixed reviews when it dropped last June, with players citing its repetitive mission structure, poor writing, and bullet spongey enemies as major complaints. Perhaps more players will give the game a look despite its controversial critical reception now that it's included in Game Pass.
The third and fourth games coming to Game Pass differ based on what platform the player is using. Game Pass users on PC will get Death's Gambit; a gothic horror action platformer released in August 2018 that was met with decent reviews upon release. Xbox One owners, on the other hand, will receive 2017's Death Squared; a co-op puzzle game that emphasizes player co-operation. It was also met with good reviews, with many citing its smart puzzles and charming sense of humor as highlights.
It's clear Microsoft still intends to bring a number of interesting, critically acclaimed titles to Game Pass as the year progresses forward, and Final Fantasy 15, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Death's Gambit, and Death Squared are all simply the beginning. As the company looks forward to the next-generation of Xbox consoles, it's great to see Game Pass still remains one of Microsoft's biggest focuses.
