If you want to experience the next game in Dontnod’s Life is Strange series but are still skeptical about purchasing the entire season, then take note. Episode 1 of Life is Strange 2 is now available on Xbox Game Pass, according to its listing on the Microsoft Store. Another new addition to the service is Studio Wildcard’s ARK: Survival Evolved, a large open world survival game with dinosaurs, technology, and bling.
Interestingly, it seems that more Game Pass announcements are inbound. Matt Percy, who is Xbox Live business lead for Gold and Game Pass, teased on Twitter that we could expect to hear more on January 3rd. Considering the sheer volume of big name releases that have arrived on Game Pass over the past month, from Ashen and Below to Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden and Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, we’re interested to see what January 2019 holds.
Xbox Game Pass is available for $9.99 per month or $59.99 for six months. The subscription service essentially provides access to a wide library of first and third party titles, with new games added every month. It also provides day one access to first party exclusives, like the upcoming Crackdown 3 and Gears 5.
