And the year starts not with a bang, but a fizzle. As Xbox announces wave one of games coming to Game Pass Ultimate and the cloud this year, we can’t help but be a little disappointed. With only one game announced as coming to cloud in the next few weeks and one returning game shadow dropping today. We are left wanting more. But, with a start like this, the only way is up. And I cannot wait for Xbox to capitalise on their strong finish to 2024.
Road 96
Available Now
Returning to the Game Pass library, Road 96 is a crazy, beautiful road-trip. On this risky road trip to the border, you’ll meet incredible characters and discover their intertwined stories and secrets in an ever-evolving adventure. But every mile opens a choice to make. Your decisions will change your adventure, change the people you meet, and maybe even change the world.
EA Sports UFC 5
Available January 14th
Unleash your fury and get unlimited access to EA Sports UFC 5, coming to Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play. Plus, members can score the Bruce Lee Bundle and play as alter egos of the father of mixed martial arts, available at no additional cost in the Perks section from January 14 to February 11.
More games are confirmed as coming to Game Pass Standard: Lightyear Frontier, My Time at Sandrock, Robin Hood – Sherwood Builders and Rolling Hills. Plus plenty of perks are available with Game Pass, these are all viewable here. Hopefully wave two is a better haul for cloud gaming!
