Xbox Game Pass is already a great deal for gamers on the Xbox One and it looks like Microsoft is continuing to expand on it as the company announced today that wave 2 of new games would hit the subscription service this month, during September.
Wave 2 of Xbox Game Pass will include five new games to add to your digital library, including Jump Fore, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, Bad North Jotunn Edition, Dirt Rally 2.0, and Lego Worlds. This is, of course, on top of the plethora of great games already available on the Xbox Game Pass service, which includes games like Gears 5, Dead Cells, Batman: Arkham Knight, and tons of other hits that you can download and play right now.
It doesn’t look like the blog post detailing the arrival of the new games has mentioned any info on when new games will make their way to the PC version of Game Pass. However, you can keep an eye here on Shacknews to be some of the first to know. Wondering exactly when these games will join the Xbox Game Pass? We've included that info below.
Even if you aren’t excited about any of the games on this list, they are definitely good ones for Microsoft to add to the library. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night alone is a great addition, and when we reviewed the game, Kevin Tucker wrote, “Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is pure fun, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Diving back into creator Koji Igarashi's iconic style of gameplay has been deeply nostalgic for me; I even found myself humming old Symphony of the Night tunes after playing the new release for a few hours. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a prime example of how much fun the Metroidvania genre has to offer and will undoubtedly serve as a point of comparison for all retro-inspired platformers that follow it.” Make sure to read our full Bloodstained: RoTN review for more information.
