It's been a while since we last saw a new free-to-play (or just entirely "free") game release on the Xbox Store, but that's all changed today with the arrival of Card Storm Idle - a game that actually has three separate versions to try.
That makes it extremely lucrative for achievement hunters, as there's a potential 3000G worth of achievements up for grabs here across the Xbox One (1000G), Xbox Series X|S (1000G) and Windows PC (1000G) versions.
It's really simple to complete as well, described as an "incremental experience" in which you can get all the achievements in around 10-20 minutes. You can see how it looks in the video up above.
"Dive into a thrilling incremental experience that blends idle progression with active strategy. In Card Storm Idle, every click and card choice brings you closer to ultimate power. Start your journey by tapping monsters to defeat them and collect gold. Use your loot to unlock powerful cards and upgrade your damage output. Strategize your deck by combining Relics and Cards into unique archetypes that suit your playstyle. Choose active cards to amplify your clicks, or build an idle deck that fights for you while you sit back and watch the chaos unfold."
Of course, a situation like this brings up the whole idea of "stacks" and whether games should be allowed to have multiple versions on the Xbox Store unless they're significantly different from each other. Card Storm Idle is far from the first game to employ this strategy - plenty of publishers do it with paid titles as well, and even in the past few days we've come across many new releases with separate Xbox One, Series X|S and PC versions.
We'll leave the decision up to you about whether to download Card Storm Idle and get those 3000G or not, but in the meantime feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments - does this kind of thing put you off, or are you just grateful for the free game and extra achievements?
