Psychonauts 2 is so freaking close!
Gawtdagnabbit!! Can I get through july first, with flight sim. and the ascent, before I'm bombarded with hades, recompile, 12 minutes, psychonauts 1/2. Not to mention song of iron, too!
I think my August on Series X will consist of;
Wow. Finally getting to the point of awesome game saturation in GamePass and totally not complaining!
Flight Simulator was the turning point for game pass. From there on we are getting back to back Amazing games. 12 Minutes, Hades, Psychonauts 2 August. In September we are getting some awesome indie titles like Artful Escape and Aragami 2. There will also be some surprises. In October we are getting Back 4 Blood. November is another big one with Forza and most probably Halo Infinite. December will again be big because of the game awards.
12minutes, psychonauts 2, hades, aliens fireteam looks cool
12 minutes, Psychonaughts, hades. Wonder what other August game pass releases will come out...either way, what a solid month =D
Some really good games coming to gamepass and a few that aren't that are also looking good...p.s I'm really enjoying The Ascent despite the reviews...playing it local with the gf but I could see how it might blnit be as enjoyable on your own or even online co op
@Residentsteve01 well, your taste is crap then
looking forward to psychonauts 2..
Definitely have my interest. @PureXbox, in list like these, it's convenient to mention of a game is Xbox One compatible still.
@John117 Not true, as Recompile is Series only.
@Residentsteve01 I was just talking about 12 minutes, the game seems fascinating!
@Residentsteve01 well bro, it's the name of the game, I say that is the truest advertisement you can get lol
