As for the games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, highlights include Capcom‘s Resident Evil 2 remake, Viking role-playing game Assassins’ Creed Valhalla, and gritty WW2 shooter Hell Let Loose.
We gave Hell Let Loose four stars in our 2021 review, and described it as a “gritty WW2 gem for hardcore shooter fans”.
“Despite a very challenging start to the game, Hell Let Loose delivers a near-unparalleled experience as a gritty, hardcore WW2 shooter,” it read. “With a deep layer of big-picture strategy and maps that perfectly capture the devastation of war, there are few games in the genre that bring so much to the blood-soaked table.”
Meanwhile, Grand Theft Auto 5 is leaving the subscription services just one month after a trailer for Grand Theft Auto 6 was released by developer Rockstar.
Besides racking up over 163million views on YouTube, the trailer also caused a 36,979 per cent spike in streaming for Tom Petty‘s ‘Love Is A Long Road’.
