The past week, from November 26 to December 3, has been one of the most exciting for a Game Pass subscription in recent times. Microsoft announced several major projects for Game Pass at once, plus a couple of interesting new items were added to the gaming service this week. Find out more in our weekly roundup of Game Pass news and content.
What was added to Game Pass in a week
This week, from November 26 to December 3, 6 new projects have been added to the Game Pass subscription:
Insurgency: Sandstorm — XboxSoccer Story — Xbox и PCWarhammer 40,000: Darktide — PCThe Walking Dead: The Final Season — Xbox и PCEastward — Xbox и PCTotally Reliable Delivery Service — PC
The addition of Insurgency: Sandstorm to the Game Pass subscription on Xbox consoles caused a significant increase in the number of players in the project, and in general raised interest in the tactical shooter. It is worth saying that the shooter had a lot of problems after the release on Xbox in 2021, but now many of them have already been solved. The other day, Insurgency: Sandstorm received a new Operation: Livewire update, and almost immediately after that it became available in Game Pass.
We’ve also added a 10-hour version of Need for Speed Unbound to Game Pass Ultimate.
