Ashes Cricket, yes!
Xbox Game Pass is set to receive quite the collection of games next month. Coming from practically every genre imaginable, subscribers to Microsoft’s service will have a chance to play Ashes Cricket for free, among others. That’s worth the price of 10 years of subs.
In all honesty, though, I’m a bit confused at what is on offer. The Jackbox Party Pack 2 is excellent and Downwell is an indie classic, but everything else seems so random. I know the point of Game Pass is to introduce gamers to titles they’d likely never experience, but this almost comes off as Microsoft throwing darts blindly at a chart.
However they were chosen, you certainly won’t be hurting for new games to play next month. You can find the full list and dates for each new title below.
