How Are Your Parking Skills? 'You Suck At Parking' Hits Xbox Game Pass This September

Say what?!

by Ben Kerry Wed 31st Aug 2022

Developer Happy Volcano has announced, or yelled, that 'You Suck at Parking' will launch straight into Xbox Game Pass next month. This over-the-top arcade racer is, funnily enough, as much about pulling up and parking as it is getting to the finish line.

Anyway, the game contains both single-player and multiplayer modes that test these skills out, so if you do indeed suck at parking, you might be alright once you're done with this one? Here's a bit more about the upcoming racer, straight from the team:

"Speed through stages navigating obstacles aplenty before hitting the designated parking spots, all whilst somehow keeping cool, calm, and collected in the process."

"Experience an ever-growing, always-expanding, forever-changing game, where more cars, more biomes, more tracks, and more customisation options are regularly added to the roster."

If you're an Xbox Game Pass member, this is one driving test you won't have to pay for. You Suck at Parking hits Xbox One and Series X|S, including via Game Pass, on September 14th.

Do you suck at parking? Would you tell us if you did? Teach us how to park down below.

Gamepass had some terrible months this year but recently its been very good. It started with a solid July with games like As Dusk Falls, Watch Dogs 2 and Inside. Then in August we got Midnight Fight Express, Immortality, Immortals Fenyx Rising and Tinykin. Some really great games coming up like You Suck at Parking, High on Life, A Plague Tale Requiem, Full version of Grounded. Line up looking very solid.

This game reminds me of the highly impossible RC Pro AM game for NES. I'm sure it will be fun for a few tries, but then get repetitive and irritating trying to drive around the corners like that and park. Fun to watch someone stream, but not fun to play.

Looks like a cool little arcade minigame with a terrible title that really doesn't represent the gameplay at all. The game looks far more interesting than the title implies.

Maybe it is just the slow year or an anomaly but I'm starting to associate game pass with small games like this (Gang Beasts, Tinykin, power wash sim, etc) instead of AAA or xbox published games?

Big games in gamepass have been pretty rare lately.

@Somebody To be fair power wash is a Square-Enix game, so there's that....

I think really it's just that AAA and Xbox-published games are just rare in general, Game Pass or not. Elden Ring was the last big multiplat game, really, so not getting Elden Ring means getting nothing on GP, and then it got a bunch of big Ubi games ,which are older, but they don't actually have anything new. Could have got Soul Hackers 2 or something, but something tells me that wouldn't have been a popular addition, which is a shame, because it's a good game.

@NEStalgia I know its not always up to MS but I would trade 10 of these games for one of dying light 2, the Quarry, lego star Wars, tiny Tina wonderland, etc. To their credit A plague tale, scorn, and high on life is a pretty nice end to the year.

There have been a few decent older games recently like immortals but it seems like for every one of those we get a dozen Deeeer simulator, clustertruck, lawn mower sim, house flipper, train sim world, coffee talk type games.

It's not that I don't like indie games (or small games from big companies) once in awhile its just that I don't see the value in my $15 per month right now. I could just spend $20 in the microsoft store each month and own games like immortal fenix rising forever.

Let's be real, there isn't much difference in quality from these "you suck at parking" games to any of the free to play game like fall guys.

@Somebody Yeah, I generally agree. I know some love the indie stuff, and to be fair, I probably wouldn't pay much money for most indie stuff so it's a good way to access it, but yeah, I don't disagree. Only thing is, there really hasn't been much at all that's released outside Nintendo. And that probably means that few publishers are going to play ball for Game Pass when they know they have a captive audience due to few releases.
