February Xbox Game Pass Shooter 'Atomic Heart' Has Officially Gone Gold

2023 is shaping up pretty good between 1st party, 3rd party, and game pass releases.

Gotta admit some really nice additions on Game pass for me personally.

Jan: Hi-Fi Rush
Feb: Atomic Heart

@Chaudy yep, and apparently they are setting up a solid year for Game Pass, so far we know:

Jan: HiFi Rush
Feb: Aromic heart
Mar: Wo Long / Ghostwire
April: Minecraft Legends
May: Redfall

And there is still much more announced without a date, like Motorsports, Lies of P, Stalker 2, Flintlock, Starfield etc..

@Moonglow @Chaudy Agreed. It's going to be a great Q1-Q2, and undoubtedly beyond. I think the years of 2022 are behind us. It's uphill from here.

This is the positivity I like to see. Not all of this negativity saying how there's nothing coming out for Xbox and Microsoft is slacking or whatever the hell. I just want games that are good and finished, I don't care what the quantity is or how long they take to come out as long as it's quality. If you need to delay it to make it right then so be it. I've noticed that the people that complain about the shortage or lack of new content seem to forget about all the past content. There are literally thousands of games to play on the Xbox. I don't know why people think they need a constant influx of new content when the older content is actually new to them because they have not experienced it yet. Like I said, I like to see this positivity and appreciation for what is coming out and available. I don't think some or most people comprehend what it takes to create games these days. There is so much involved with so much complexity on so many different levels that we are now at a point where it takes a lot longer to produce games, even though there are advanced tools and faster computers. I'm pretty easy to please and I'm perfectly content with the new content coming out. I am also in no rush for new content because I have hundreds and hundreds of games in my backlog, but I understand that is not the case for everyone. Also, I think people seem to forget about covid, which is self-explanatory. Anyways I didn't mean to ramble on this long, it's 6am and I am falling asleep as I type this. I wish there were more comments like these when I read the comment sections of websites.

@ZYDIO I think 2022 was a pretty bad year when you factor in the delays and the lack of communication, especially when comparing to other platforms. But you're right!! There's so much to play. One thing I can't recommend to anyone enough is Moonlighter. That's on Game Pass. It's sensational.

That to the side, I've said for a long time now that 2023 will be a turning point for Xbox. There's so much coming and I fully suspect that a heap of MS Studios will be showcasing a lot of things this year and beyond that are ready to come off the skillet. Most studios have been working on "something" for a few years now. Then we'll find ourselves in this healthy cycle of releases, new showcase, releases, and so forth. Exciting times.

But like I said above, this is just the beginning. Between the stream, the game pass announcements, the inbound game pass games, upcoming 1st and 3rd party, and more besides, it's finally starting to look good.

Edit: Sleep well. Dream of me 😘

@Kaloudz Really hope you are right about the healthy release cycle. I worry slightly it will be a massive 2023 and then a quiet 2024 and we will go forward in two year cycles of big releases but I guess let’s focus on this year for now! Either way Atomic Heart looks sensational and an excellent gamepass addition.

@GeeEssEff I think I'll be right. I'm almost confident in fact. Once the aquisition goes through as well, it'll just heighten things so much more. That said, even without AB, they've got so many teams working on so many things. Plus, MS know they f'd up 2022. Hence why we got that very blunt "here's your next 12 months" and they'll want to keep that cycle going. I'll eat the rest of @Nestalgia controllers if I'm wrong.

@Moonglow no love for RTS games.... Age of empire 2 and 4 ❤️

December: high on life/lego star war
January: MH rise/persona3&4/hifi rush/JoJo/age of empire 2
February : atomic heart
... Dam* i can't catchup

@ZYDIO Amen !

Someone knows if it will be K/M playable on Series x ?

Great that this game has gone gold, but the real question is - does this game suck? We'll see.

@Gamingforlife I know! But Im a PC player so Ive had Age of Empires litetally ages ago, lol. These are just a few games, and if you look back just a few months ago, there are great things like Grounded, Warhammer 40K, Skywalker Saga, Pentiment and High on Life, Monster Hunter..

Ive been a PC Game Pass subscriber for 3 years now, it is a incredible good service!

@Moonglow so from all what i said you only picked up age of empire? What about jojo persona 3 4 goldeneye and day 1 for monster hunter rise?
Their is nothing of those that interests you its fine your not the only player in the world its not gamepass fault...
Of you dont like it try subscribing to PS premium for 20$ just to play 4 years old games
