Soon, a whole slew of exciting games will be landing in Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription, which should satisfy many genre tastes

Microsoft Game Pass subscribers can rejoice: four games will soon be included in the offer, three of which have now been confirmed. The fourth of the bunch, the indie hit Celeste, has been known to be returning to the subscription for some time.

We present all four games to you briefly so that you can get an idea of whether they could be something for you.

Sea of Stars

Genre: Role Playing Game

In Game Pass as of: August 29, 2023

For which platforms? PC and Xbox

The creative minds behind the popular The Messenger have a very interesting looking old school RPG in the pipeline with Sea of Stars . Visually, the game is strongly reminiscent of the long-gone 16-bit days of the early 90s.

The story is told by two so-called children of the solstice. These have the power of the sun and the moon and are correspondingly powerful. Their goal is to put a stop to a sinister alchemist. To do so, they must defeat the forces of darkness in turn-based battles.

Of course, your party will grow in the course of the adventure. Each party member has a specific role with unique skills that you will want to use skillfully.

Everspace 2

Genre: Action

In Game Pass as of: August 15, 2023

Do you like open worlds? Are you into sci-fi? Are you not averse to action? If you nodded your head three times, you should give Everspace 2 a chance once the space action game lands in Game Pass.

The gameplay is quickly explained: You fly around in space, fight all kinds of nasties and keep expanding your spaceship fleet. All of this is wrapped up in a storyline that seamlessly follows on from the events of the predecessor.

Most of all, the visuals worth seeing and the fast-paced, loot-focused gameplay can convince many fans. On Steam, the game has (over 7,000 positive user ratings).

Celeste: An excellent platformer that revolves around a girl named Madeline who wants to climb a mountain and conquer her own fears. (Available August 1, 2023 for PC and Xbox)
