Microsoft is hanging its hat more and more on its Game Pass subscription service these days and it is fair to say it had a stellar end to the year with the likes of Stalker 2, Indiana Jones, and Call of Duty dropping. Fast forward just a few weeks to now and the first wave of games has been announced for the rest of the month and it would not be wrong to say we have been whelmed by the list – that’s not overwhelmed, or underwhelmed, just a bit, well, meh. Of course, if any of these games tickle your fancy you are likely to feel different but since the introduction of a variety of confusing tiers sorting out who gets what, a lot of the game announcements have merely been games switching between tiers – ie, moving from Ultimate to Standard, which, if you cough up the extra for Ultimate, you clearly are not interested in. New to Ultimate is UFC 5 but that is only Xbox and if you want to play on PC it’s Cloud gaming for you as it’s not a PC release of course.
