We’ve almost hit the halfway point in the year, and it feels like it has been a lot longer than that. There’s been so many things happening and its hard to keep track. To celebrate the end of the first half, Game Pass has another lineup of games for us. The last lineup brought us some interesting games like No Man’s Sky and Kingdom Hearts. There was even a bonus game, West of Dead, only adding on to the fun. Hopefully, you found something that you enjoyed. Without further adieu though, here’s everything you can play during the last half of June.
First up is a recently announced game for Xbox, being No Code’s Observation. The game has been on PC and PS4 for some time but finally arrives on Xbox One and Game Pass. Observation is an adventure puzzler that puts you in the shoes of an AI. The crew of your space station has mysteriously vanished, and it’s up to you to put together the pieces. Uncover mysteries, face cosmic horror, and experience a narrative adventure where you are the location when Observation drops tomorrow. Game Pass PC and Console players have access to this one, so be sure to give it a go and tell us what you like.
Another just announced title for Xbox is Night Call from the teams at MonkeyMoon and BlackMuffin. This noir adventure has you taking on the role of a cab driver in Paris. You have a small set of skills, but your best one is making people talk. A corrupt detective you met along the way looks to pin you up for murder on, and it’s up to you to find who did it. If you don’t in seven days, you might just unjustly go to jail. Speak to various people, discover clues, and catch the culprit in this narrative adventure that will keep you on your toes. Game Pass PC players have had the title for some time, but Game Pass Console users have the chance to try this starting today.
And finally, for just-announced Xbox titles, is Sabotage Studio’s The Messenger. Users on PC have had access to the title for some time, but tomorrow marks the first time console users can jump into this great game. The Messenger follows a young ninja on his quest for his clan’s survival. A demon army has besieged your town, and it’s up to you to put an end to them and deliver a scroll. Moving from a standard adventure-platformer into a time-traveling epic, The Messenger is a game that truly stands out. Hopefully, Game Pass Console players enjoy it tomorrow because PC players have been enjoying it for some time.
For our final title in this edition, we have Streets of Rogue from developer Matt Dabrowski. In this silly rogue-lite, adventure across various cities and complete goals to proceed. The catch is you can complete those goals however you like. Want to sneak your way through the city and steal various things? You can do that. Want to run through guns blazing, killing everything in sight? You can do that too. The choices are endless in Streets of Rogue, and we hope you enjoy tailoring your character to your playstyle. Game Pass Console players have the chance to start playing this great title tomorrow.
And that’s everything in this addition. With all four arriving either today or tomorrow, you won’t have to wait long to try some great games. Hopefully, there’s something here that sticks with you.
