Xbox Game Pass to get seven new games soon, including a must-play open-world racer

A new Game Pass sneak peek is hot off the press, giving us a peak at seven great new games coming soon for PC and console.

While we don’t have a specific date for the following releases, we do know exactly which platforms each one will be available on. Xbox Series X/S owners will be able to play through the entire selection, while those with just a PC or older-gen console will only be able to jump to five of the lineup.

You can find the selection of new Game Pass games below:

• Bramble: King of the Mountain – Cloud + Console + PC
• FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch – Cloud + PC + Xbox Series X/S
• Need for Speed: Unbound – Cloud + PC + Xbox Series X/S (Requires Game Pass Ultimate)
• arcade paradise – Console + PC
• Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town – Console + PC
• Sword and Fairy: together forever – Console + PC
• walker’s book – Console + PC

Some of the highlights of this release include Need for Speed: Unbound, a fresh and reinvigorated entry in the beloved racing franchise. Judging by the sales, it didn’t surprise anyone, but we certainly liked it! However, if you want to get this on Game Pass, you’ll need an Ultimate subscription, so keep that in mind.

The Book of Walker was recently teased at the Xbox Extended Games Showcase during non-E3. This, among several other up-and-coming indie games, got a decent chunk of the show dedicated to them and it’s great to see that kind of smaller, up-and-coming project coming to Game Pass.

Game Pass right now is so packed with games, many of which were on the service the day it launched, that it’s hard not to recommend it to every Xbox owner. Even if you just got an upgraded PC and are waiting for Starfield to launch, a month of Game Pass is likely to be cheaper than a great AAA game that missed out on the service. It’s hard to argue against it.

Will you get any of these once they drop on Game Pass? Let us know below!
