Xbox Game Pass is the gift that keeps on giving. Last week four new ID@Xbox gameswere addedand as of this morning, four more have been confirmed to be hitting the service. TeasingSoulCaliburthrough a tweet yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that, plus three more games in ablog postthis morning. The four new games are as follows:
First up, and on the PC version of Xbox Game Pass, isOut of the Park Baseball 21. The game is a text-based baseball management sim/strategy game in which you “Discover new talent, draft the next superstar, negotiate with free agents, enter trade talks with other teams, build your dynasty and guide a franchise into an infinite future!” using licensed MLB teams of the past and present.
SoulCalibur VIis the second game hitting the service today. The sixth entry in one of the most beloved fighting-game franchises,SoulCalibur VIhas fantastic single-player campaigns, solid multiplayer action, a huge create a character mode, and a cameo fromThe Witcher’sGeralt. We loved the game so much we gave it a 9.5 in ourreview, so it’s definitely worth checking out whether you’re a fighting game fan or not.
CrossCode, which drops Thursday, July 9, was released on PC in 2018 but will be hitting Xbox Game Passon the same datewith its console launch.CrossCodeis a retro, Action-RPG “in the veins ofÂSecret of Mana andÂZelda,” with massive dungeons and over 120 enemy types and 30 boss fights.
Finally, dropping the same day asCrossCodeisFallout 76,a game which is no stranger tocontroversy. Released to alukewarm receptiontowards the end of 2018, Bethesda made misstep after misstep withdodgy collectors editions,poor server performance,and somequestionable in-game purchase pricingto name but a few. However, after listening to their audience,Fallout 76seems to be on the up as the Bethesda have slowly started to rectify these issues, namely by adding NPCs in theWastelanders DLC. With it being included in Xbox Game Pass, now may be the time to dip your toes into the irradiated waters of Appalachia and see what it’s all about.
One of the best services in gaming is once again amplified by some more decent additions and it was recently shown that Xbox Game Pass doesn’t only benefit the fans, butdevelopers as well. Don’t forget, July’sGames With Goldare also now live so grab them while you can.
