Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Total War: Three Kingdoms, Naraka: Bladepoint, Far Cry 5, and More - Xbox Wire

I know, June has been a wild month so far already (this is my subtle plug to check out everything announced at the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase). Act surprised, but we’re not done yet. We’re closing out the month with more games you can look forward to very soon (some very, very soon, as […]

Nothing for me here, but I still have TMNT, Life is Strange and Omori.

I'll play Far Cry and FIFA, until I delete the latter after about 30 minutes.

I may give Far Cry 5 another shot. I bought it a long time ago, played it for an hour, then traded it in. Gamepass is the perfect platform to enjoy these sorts of games.

The weirdest thing about it was how it felt both smaller but also bigger than other far cry games. Like, even though it was technically a big area, I always felt like I was in the same spots. Still enjoyed it even though the "boss" fights got repetitive.

Three Kingdoms might just be the best Total War game.

Also looking forward to playing FC5 and FIFA22 without specifically paying for them.

It'd certainly be nice. I don't even bat an eye as it is now when they announce a new game that is PC GamePass-only; like, I look at this month as an Xbox player and see four games coming and four games leaving, and see it as a weaker month.

I know that I immediately got turned off when I opened the map and saw the fog of war spread across the world map because each zone pertained to a different boss. I think at that point I was so fed up with the Ubi formula I just quit then and there.

Which is funny because I've been playing Immortal Fenyx Rising (another Ubi joint) and it uses the same exact system as Far Cry 5--different zones with different bosses--and I've loved the game so far.

It's not bad but it is much, much weaker than the other two. Dragonfall especially I consider to be one of the best CRPGs of the past few decades. It's also a lot more linear, main plot focused, and lacks other Runner characters on your team so there's little in the way of character development. It also has an annoying tendency to go 'wow look at this character from the lore, isn't it cool they're here', which if you've not played anything from Shadowrun will go right over your head and just seem obnoxious. You also won't miss out on anything plot wise as they're all self contained stories.

Returns is almost a proof of concept for the devs before they really delivered with Dragonfall and Hong Kong. Play it first if you're playing it at all, but you're not missing anything by skipping it.

I played far cry 5 on PS4 . But might replay it just for the FPS boost. I think it had a reduced resolution if you used the FPS boost on series X ???

Thank goodness Last Stop is on PS Plus, thought I would have to try and squeeze it in this week. I know why they won't do it but I wish they'd give you the entire month notice before a game leaves its service.

It`s a short game that is a really nice introduction to the shadowrun core aspects, whether the storyline gets continued in the sequels or not. I really, really disagree with people who says to skip it, specially if youre getting all three games as part of GP. You literally have nothing to lose, not even the (little) time you might put into it

This is the dream :( Lots of PC-only games that I would love to be able to play on my crappy laptop...

Haven't actually tried out Far Cry 5 yet and could use a good "get lost exploring in the wilderness" game. Sounds good to me

it's "missing" TMNT and Omori since this is a late second half of June blog post, which goes to show how perception is everything since I'm already seeing "weak/light month" posts on the gamepass thread for example.

Is Total War Three Kingdoms a good Total War game to start on (does it have most of the newest QOL etc) and is it a good Three Kingdoms game (I know next to nothing about China's history)

I'd imagine they're updating the Shadowrun UI for controller support, given that those games are heavily mouse driven on PC. Is there any word of the team back-porting those changes to the PC versions? Or updating the PC versions to 64-bit?
