Xbox has confirmed what games will be coming to its Xbox Game Pass service this month.
Xbox Game Pass is a Netflix-style streaming service for consoles and PC, that allows players access to hundreds of different titles for one monthly payment. The library of available games is always changing though.
As it stands, Xbox Game Pass will only receive two new games this February, but they’re big ones.
Far Cry New Dawn will join the service tomorrow (February 4) and will be available for all Standard, Ultimate and PC subscribers. Originally released in 2019, Far Cry New Dawn is a sequel to 2018’s Far Cry 5 and the open-world first-person shooter is set 17 years after a nuclear event devastated the world, with players taking on the role of Security Captain to try and help other survivors.
Later this month, Avowed will be a Day One release on Xbox Game Pass. It will be available for all Ultimate and PC subscribers on February 18.
A spin-off from the Pillars Of Eternity franchise, Avowed is set in the Living Lands, which developers have described as “a mysterious island filled with adventure and danger”.
“The Living Lands is an island where the air hums with ancient magic, the flora seems to move with a mind of its own, and the ground beneath your feet shifts with secrets waiting to be unearthed,” continues the description of Obsidian’s fantasy role-playing game.
“As an envoy of Aedyr, you are sent to investigate rumors of a spreading plague with a secret that threatens to destroy everything. Can you save the island and your soul from the forces threatening to tear them apart?”
