Xbox | 11 Xbox Game Pass Games That Will Make Your Winter Sizzle

As we wave goodbye to the E3 season, we’re welcoming a parade of exciting games announced for the Xbox Game Pass. The subscription service is flexing its muscles and showing off an impressive lineup of releases for the rest of the year. Here, we’ll be covering 11 fantastic new games that are about to make your winter hotter than a console running Cyberpunk 2077.

First up, revving its engine louder than my stomach during a diet, is the phenomenal racing reboot, Need for Speed Unbound. This game will be available to all Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers. It’s a racing game where you’ll get to tear up the streets, evade the cops (not recommended in real life), and earn your way to new upgrades.

Next up, we have Bramble: The Mountain King. It’s an adventure horror game that’s scarier than my bank balance after a Steam sale. You play as two siblings who sneak out of their home one night and into a nearby forest. Things go south faster than a snowbird in winter when they stumble into a new world called Bramble.

Also releasing on the same day, we have The Book Walker. This game is described as a narrative adventure, but it’s more like an Indiana Jones movie on steroids. It’s got unique worlds, unconventional puzzles, daring artifact heists, and various obstacles requiring you to persuade, deceive, or even engage in combat.

Also on June 27th, we have Fist: Forged in Shadow Torch. This game is a seamless adventure with a combat experience that’s been very well received by many players. It’s like Metroid and Castlevania had a baby, and it’s beautiful.

Rounding out June is Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. It’s like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley had a love child, and it’s just as addictive as its parents.

One game that’s more fun than a barrel of pixelated monkeys is Arcade Paradise. You’ll get to take a dull laundromat business and turn it into a bustling neon-built arcade. It’s like The Sims, but with more Pac-Man and less toilet cleaning.

The Sword and Fairy franchise is bringing its newest entry to Game Pass on July 5th. It’s a stunning Asian title that’s more beautiful than a sunset over a perfectly rendered digital ocean.

EXO Primal, an online team-based action game, is set to release day one onto Game Pass this July. It’s like Jurassic Park, but with more exosuits and fewer Jeff Goldblums.

Techtonica, a first-person factory automation game, arrives a bit later this July. It’s like Minecraft and Factorio had a baby, and it’s just as time-consuming as you’d expect.

The Wandering Village is another game coming to Game Pass this July. In this world, the ground is full of poisonous and toxic spores, so you have to build and raise a settlement on the back of a moving organism. It’s like SimCity, but with more giant turtles.

Venba, a narrative cooking game, is another game to look forward to. It’s like Overcooked but with less chaos and more heartwarming family stories.
