A new month suggests a brand-new slate of titles for Xbox Video game Pass. Microsoft has actually exposed 5 games en route for the membership service on PC, cloud, and console in August, highlighted by A Brief Hike and Broforce Forever.
A Short Hike kicks things off August 3 with a relaxing experience that sees you trekking up a mountain. In GameSpot’s glowing A Short Hike review, we wrote: “It’s about looking for quiet communion with nature even as you make your umpteenth walking towards the peak, or finding satisfaction in coming across tinier, quaint scenes.”
For something louder and bloodier– as polar opposite as you can get, basically– Microsoft will also add Broforce Forever on August 8 to the service. This is actually an enormous update for the Contra-like video game that parodies popular culture with a handful of brand-new characters, including Broffy the Vampire Slayer and Xebro: Warrior Princess.
Not to be neglected, the seriously acclaimed Limbo and Everspace 2 are likewise heading to Xbox Game Pass on August 9 and 15, respectively. They’ll be joined by the city-building title Airborne Kingdom on August 10. Don’t forget that Celeste likewise appears on the service today, as it was revealed with the 2nd wave of Xbox Game Pass for July titles. It also simply happens to be among the best video games in years. Last month also saw the surprising return of GTA 5 to Xbox Game Pass.
