Xbox just threw some gaming goodies our way, and one game is up for grabs right this second. Rain World, ever heard of it? It’s this indie gem from Videocult, thrown out into the wild back in 2017. Now, it’s chillin’ on Game Pass for Cloud, Console, and PC. The vibe? You’re a “nomadic slugcat.” Seriously. Part predator, part prey. Picture this—you’re dodging bigger beasts in a landscape that screams post-apocalypse, drenched in industrial grime. Survive, or face the music. The ecosystem’s brutal, like nature binge-watching Mad Max.
Now, before I wander off track—yeah, my brain’s a pinball machine today—there are more games dropping soon on Game Pass. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage? Definitely. Aliens: Fireteam Elite? Yup. They’re peeking around the corner in August.
Diving into specifics:
– Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector kicks things off on August 6 for Console.
– Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, also on August 6, still Console.
– MechWarrior 5: Clans, which lands the same day, again Console.
– Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap joins the August 6 club. Console for the win.
Then, buckle up on August 7 because Assassin’s Creed Mirage is swooping in (Cloud and all that jazz).
Oh, and Aliens: Fireteam Elite touches down on August 12 across the board. PC folks, rejoice?
Tossing one more into the mix, 9 Kings—some Game Preview thingy—hits PCs on August 14 if you’ve got Game Pass Ultimate. It’s like they’re just quietly expanding your backlog. Love that.
And I almost forgot—there’s some new sneak peek stuff: Descenders Next and He Is Coming, both available in preview style. Sometimes the teases are just as exciting, right?
Anyway—wait, should’ve said earlier—August’s got more surprises, like a kid on a sugar rush. So, keep your eyes peeled for a second wave of gaming delights. I mean, nothing beats the suspense of hidden games waiting to jump out at you.
