Microsoft has confirmed the games that will be added to Xbox Game Pass on both PC and console over the next few weeks, with the first big addition landing today. Microsoft Flight Simulator is available now through Xbox Game Pass on PC along with Spiritfarer, which is also available on Xbox One. Then on August 20th Battletoads will hop onto both PC and Xbox One through the service, as will Don’t Starve: Giant Edition. Crossing Souls and Darksiders Genesis will be available on Xbox Game Pass PC on the same day. New Super Lucky’s Tale joins the service on August 21st.

That is half the list. Hypnospace Outlaw joins the line up on both PC and console on August 27th, as does Tell Me Why: Chapter One. Then on August 28th Wasteland 3 and Double Kick Heroes will be added. On September 1st PC subscribers will be able to access Crusader Kings III, and then on September 3rd both Xbox One and PC subscribers will get Resident Evil 7 Biohazard as a choice.

In our review for Spiritfarer, Miquel wrote:

“Spiritfarer has a soft, caring, bittersweet tone that I’ve rarely encountered in video games. For a game all about death and dying, I only ever felt calm and relaxed when playing it. The management gameplay is varied and engaging, and even though the scope if it leads to the game getting a bit too long in the tooth, it helps connect the incredibly emotional story beats together so well. Mix that up with its beautiful art style and enchanting music, and you’ve got one of the most emotional management games I’ve ever played.”

From the heady days of the Mega Drive up until the modern day gaming has been my main hobby. I'll give almost any game a go.

  1. There’s usually nothing vane-wise on any Microsoft platform that interests me… And I never play on PC.
    But now, there is Flight Simulator..! I’d really like to try this, as I have played it about 30 years ago…
    If I get that right, I could currently play this for 1 quid a month for three months and then cancel my subscription, if I choose so? Sounds tempting…
    I’m slightly confused, though, that game pass is still in beta, as I keep seeing this XBox stuff pre-installed on Windows for years already.

    • *game-wise*

    • I’d be keen to do the same with Flight Sim! I’ve removed all traces of the XBox stuff from my pc though so will have to do some reinstalling, it did seem to be forced on us during a big update but then easily forgotten about.

      • Haha..! I usually do the same and delete all ‘bloatware’ from a new PC.
        Ok, you go first, or I go first..? ;-)
        I am slightly worried, I’d be buying a MS gaming product, for the first time in my life… :-o
