Here's 20 Minutes Of 'Eternal Strands' Ahead Of Next Week's Xbox Game Pass Launch

Eternal Strands has been one of the most highly-anticipated Xbox Game Pass titles of January 2025 for quite some time now, and we're pleased to confirm we've been playing it here at Pure Xbox over the past few days!

You can see 20 minutes of our footage in the first video down below, followed by a look at the game's first boss - Ark of the Stricken Earth. To remind yourself, here's what to expect from Eternal Strands when it lands on Xbox Game Pass:

"Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to recover her people’s cultural home in the debut fantasy action-adventure title from Yellow Brick Games, a new independent studio founded by industry veterans."

"Armed with powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, face enemies that range from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. Use the environment and temperature to your advantage in battles against a diverse roster of fantastical creatures, like turning a dragon’s fiery breath against ice-covered minions. Climb every surface and use arcane skills to create new paths. Explore the world in pursuit of the Enclave’s lost mysteries and challenge giant titans on your journey."

We're hoping to have a review of Eternal Strands to share with you on Pure Xbox in the near future as well, but that'll have to wait a bit longer for now. Hopefully this lengthy footage will whet your appetite in the meantime!

It's only another week until Eternal Strands lands on January 28th for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, and if you really can't wait that long, a free demo is available on Steam right now - so you can go and play it for yourself!
