Rain World Available Now
First up, Rain World, the indie survival game from Videocult, is available to play right now on Game Pass for Cloud, Console, and PC. In Rain World, you play as a “nomadic slugcat” trying to survive in a harsh, industrial world. The gameplay is all about hunting for food and dodging bigger predators—because in this ecosystem, you’re both hunter and hunted. If you’re looking for a challenging survival experience, you might want to give this one a try.
Big Titles Coming Soon
But that’s not all. There are some major releases coming later in August that you won’t want to miss. Assassin’s Creed: Mirage lands on Game Pass (Cloud, Console, and PC) on August 7. So, if you’ve been waiting to step into the shoes of a stealthy assassin, your time is almost here. Just a few days later, on August 12, Aliens: Fireteam Elite joins the lineup for Cloud, Console, and PC. Team up with friends and take on waves of Xenomorphs in this co-op shooter based on the legendary Alien franchise.
