The 4 newXboxGame Pass additions for PC areSaints Row 4: Re-Elected, DiRt Rally 2.0, Cities Skylines, andBad North.They stopped short of announcing when these games will be arriving on the service, but it should be soon, and many gamers are likely happy about that fact.
TheSaints Rowseries, for example, is a fan-favorite franchise, with the fourth game ranking high among the various titles. Those fans may be further excited to know that anewSaints Rowgameis in deep development at Volition, so hopefully, something about that gets announced sooner rather than later.DiRT Rally 2.0is a racing simulator that fans of Rally racing will enjoy, but it doesn’t have the popularity that Saints Row does.
Cities Skylinesis a city simulation game that stands out due to its modern take and use of new gameplay elements that make it feel as legitimate as possible.Bad North, for the many who haven’t heard of it, is a real-time tactics roguelite about defending an island kingdom from Vikings and trying to lead a people in exodus. While these may not be the typical cup of tea for several gamers, perhaps it’s worth checking out now that they’re releasing onXbox Game Pass for PC.
