A wave of new titles has arrived today for Game Pass

Xbox have announced the next wave of games to be added to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass, some arriving today and some over the next few days. As always though, with new additions come new subtractions, the list of games leaving can be found at the bottom of the story.

Deathloop

Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S

In the critically acclaimed Deathloop, two rival assassins are trapped in a mysterious timeloop on the island of Blackreef.

Learn from each cycle, try new approaches, and do whatever it takes to break the timeloop. Enjoy a slew of features like photomode, accessibility options, and the Goldenloop Update with a new weapon and ability, cross-play matchmaking, an extended ending, and more. Put an end to eternity today on Xbox One consoles with cloud gaming.
