Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass for Console: Alan Wake, Cities: Skylines, and Minecraft Dungeons
Lately, I’ve been spending more time chatting with friends about games I remember playing as a kid, or which ones that are coming soon I’m really excited about. On that note, I’m happy to say Xbox Game Pass is here to help share in this excitement! This month brings new games, cult classics, and some dear favorites. Let’s jump in!
Available Today
Alan Wake (ID@Xbox) – May 21
The acclaimed cult classic Alan Wake, from award-winning developers Remedy Entertainment, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. As the best-selling writer Alan Wake’s wife disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A dark presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of insanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.
Cities: Skylines (ID@Xbox) – May 21
We’re excited to welcome Cities: Skylines back to Xbox Game Pass! You’re in charge of a growing city, from the ground-breaking of its first streets to the ever-changing needs of thousands of citizens, you will design, build, and manage the city of your dreams. From public services to civic policies, challenge yourself to grow from a simple town to a bustling metropolitan hub.
Coming Soon
