It all begins with the launch of I Am Your Beast, which is available for Xbox and PC right now.
The stylish first-person shooter almost feels like a spiritual successor to XIII. It has Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, where users praise its fast-paced action that makes you feel a bit like John Wick.
“I Am Your Beast is a shortform covert revenge thriller FPS about getting hunted across the North American wilderness by the military-industrial complex — and turning the tables,” reads the official description.
“Break your opponents. Use their own equipment against them. Duck into your tunnel network before enemy forces zero in on your location. Repeat.”
This will be followed by the Game Pass release of another game with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews on Steam, as Nine Sols joins the line-up.
It’s probably not the best timing for Nine Sols, which isn’t too dissimilar to Hollow Knight, featuring challenging platforming action and rich atmosphere.
According to Microsoft, Nine Sols also features a similar parry system to FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
Hollow Knight Silksong follows on September 4, alongside real-time strategy and tower defence game Cataclismo, which has a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam.
As part of the game, players must design and build a fortress to withstand “waves of horrors”.
The releases continue on September 10 with the addition of Paw Patrol World, which is a 3D adventure game designed for younger players.
Finally, Microsoft will add Saber Interactive’s road building game RoadCraft on September 16.
The game is similar to previous titles such as Mudrunner and Snowrunner, where the aim is to navigate difficult conditions while transporting goods.
