It looks like yet another game is currently being tested by Xbox Insiders ahead of a planned PC Game Pass release in the near future! This time around it's 2001's Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

"Xbox Insiders on Windows PC are invited to preview Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Originally released in 2001, Return to Castle Wolfenstein takes place where World War II rages and nations fall. SS head Himmler has Hitler’s full backing to twist science and the occult into an army capable of annihilating the Allies once and for all. Battling alone, you’re on an intense mission to pierce the black heart of the Third Reich and stop Himmler — or die trying."

Return to Castle Wolfenstein joins Wolfenstein 3D as the two games from that franchise that have been tested by Xbox Insiders recently, while games from Quake, Elder Scrolls and other series' have been in the loop as well.

The majority of these previews are now finally coming to an end, so hopefully we'll get some news in the near future about when we can expect to (hopefully) see them on PC Game Pass for all subscribers.

Here's how you can access the Return to Castle Wolfenstein preview:
