This week, eight well-known and well-loved titles are coming to Xbox Game Pass. Notables include Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 through 2.8, No Man’s Sky, and Battletech. There is also a bit of DLC dropping with them to tempt gamers further.
Some games will only be for either the PC or the console. Battletech will be PC only, along with Battlefleet Gothic Armada 2. Thronebreaker, which should quench fans’ thirst for more The Witcher content while the Netflix series resumes production for season 2, will be console-only, along with Kingdom Hearts.
Many gamers will want to replay or experience Kingdom Hearts for the first time, and now they can do so on their Xbox console. The 17-year-old Disney/Square Enix classic is still popular especially for young gamers who enjoy adventuring their way through all the best worlds in the Disney universe with Donald and Goofy. The HD remakes are bundles of the original games, from the remastered Kingdom Hearts to Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Remix 2.5 also includes the hour-long film “Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover.”
Some may be disappointed that there are no new releases, but starting June 16th Xbox Game Pass holders will be able to pre-install the Xbox game preview of Grounded, Obsidian Entertainment’s new ant-sized adventure. The game itself will be released July 28th.
There is a dark lining to this silver cloud. 10 games will be sunsetted on June 15th, including Samorost 3, Resident Evil Revelations, and Everspace.
On the off chance that someone out there would rather not have access to the above games this summer, here is a step-by-step guide on how to cancel an Xbox game pass.
