Ori Will of The Wisps, Pikuniku, More Join Game Pass

With it being the start of the March, it should be no surprise that it’s time for another Game Pass installment. If you’re interested in the last batch, we covered that here. All those games are now available, and it’s time for the next batch. As announced on the Xbox Game Pass Twitter accounts, six more games are coming for PC and Console in the coming weeks.

Starting, we have Ori and the Will of the Wisps (PC and Console). This is the second game in the Ori franchise and promises to iterate as much as the first game did. Follow Ori on an adventure to bring their family back together. The lands are broken, and it’s all up to Ori to heal them, along with discovering their true destiny. Similar to the first game, there are a lot of tight platforming controls and a beautiful atmosphere. This is a platformer you won’t soon forget. Ori and the Will of the Wisps comes to Game Pass on March 11th.

Next up, we have Pikuniku, a puzzle adventure game published by Devolver Digital. Taking place in a very whimsical world, you must discover and help new friends on your adventures. Not everything is as happy as it seems, though, and you’ll have to do some investigating to find the truth to this place. This game is highly praised for its beautiful art style and fun platforming, which is sure to satisfy your interests.

If platforming isn’t your style, that isn’t all that’s coming to Game Pass. There’s also Train Sim World 2020 (PC and Console), developed by Dovetail Games. As you may expect, this game has you managing and driving trains, but that’s not all. This game also introduces the idea of playing in first-person and walking around the game world, possibly giving a new perspective. If you’re a simulation fanatic, this game has a lot of accuracies to offer you.

And that’s all for shared titles. There’s three more available, with two of those being PC exclusive. On that end, we have Mother Russia Bleeds. This is a beat-em-up taking place in the Soviet Union, having you go through some tense battles and taking on tough foes. The second title coming to PC is The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game. As you might expect, this will have you building a deck of heroes and taking on different foes. You can play this one solo or with a friend.

Finally, we have the Console exclusive title being NBA 2K20. Developed by Visual Concepts, this game has you playing basketball games in high-quality graphics and sound design. Create and customize your team to your liking and raise up the ranks to become an NBA superstar team. The interest may be small, but sports fans likely will want to check this out.

And that’s all we have for now. Be sure to keep an eye on The Nerd Stash for any future Game Pass titles. Will you be playing any of these? Any games you wish would come to Game Pass? Let us know in the comments below.
