Story time. A few weeks ago, while we were all sitting around a giant pile of gifts and wrapping paper, my kitten was losing her mind, darting from pile of paper to ribbon to making loops around the tree. It was like an avalanche of fun.
Well, I feel you little kitten, because being overstimulated by so many exciting new toys is totally me right now. I’m back to work after the holiday break, and already counting down the hours until I get home to play more new games. We’ve got a couple coming at you very soon, plus a ton we added last month, so I can’t wait to get started! I’ve already fired up the Xbox (Beta) app to download the games, so they’re ready to play by the time I get home tonight.
Let’s get to what you’re here for: New PC games plus those you might have missed from last month!
Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass for PC
Frostpunk (ID@Xbox)
As the ruler of the last city on a frozen planet, you must manage both its citizens and its infrastructure against the overwhelming cold in Frostpunk. What decisions will you make to ensure your society’s survival? What will you do when pushed to breaking point? Who will you become in the process? This society survival game, where resource management clashes with empathy and heat means life, every decision comes at a price.
FTL: Faster Than Light (ID@Xbox)
Command your very own starship and embark on an awesome strategic adventure as you and your crew try to save the galaxy in the classic roguelike FTL. Command your team, manage your ship’s power and weapons, and engage in tactical space battles while trekking among the stars. A challenging voyage across a randomized galaxy with no second chances, each playthrough will feature different enemies, events, and results from your decisions.
