With Microsoft increasingly placing importance on Xbox Game Pass, many are looking to the green-cross subscription service for interactive experiences that are perfect for weekend fun. Here are the games you shouldn’t miss on Game Pass this weekend!
No Man’s Sky
The path of redemption taken by Hello Games after the disastrous launch of No Man’s Sky has long been over: for several years, in fact, the team following Sean Murray has been taking advantage of free updates to offer real expansions that greatly expand the original vision of this now famous space sandbox.
The last leg of the journey undertaken by Murray and his companions allowed explorers of the procedural galaxy to discover the many new features of No Man’s Sky Worlds Part 1, one of the largest expansions ever that improves the graphics and extends the range of interactive experiences to be enjoyed by shuttling between the Nexus and their bases. Speaking of the Nexus: did you know that there is a new Expedition to face against gigantic alien insects to acquire many original customizations for your space explorer and his fleet of spaceships, vehicles and mechs?
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
The entry of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 into the Game Pass catalog is the perfect viaticum for the arrival at the end of the year of Black Ops 6, whose launch promises to inaugurate a new era for Microsoft’s subscription service. For those who are new to this series or are returning to it after years, the arrival of COD Modern Warfare in the Game Pass represents the ideal opportunity to delve into the maze of modes, missions, features and content of a work that to define as monumental would be a pale understatement.
Those looking for ‘strong emotions’ to experience over the weekend by browsing the enormous Game Pass game library can therefore try their hand at the challenges offered by the MW3 multiplayer lobbies, or they can immerse themselves in the cinematic experience offered by the main Campaign: a real godsend for those who love first-person shooters and competitive video games.
Valorant and the Agent Unlock Bonus
There’s a reason why Microsoft and Sony are celebrating Valorant’s arrival on consoles: Riot Games’ hero shooter has been a huge success on PC and promises to do the same on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Xbox or PC Game Pass subscribers can also take advantage of the bonus represented by the special bundle that unlocks access to all Valorant Agents!
Those who are registered with the green-cross service therefore have the opportunity to immediately access the entire roster of fighters and their related equipment and arsenals, a detail not secondary if we consider the cross-play of Valorant on consoles (but not between consoles and PC, due to the objective competitive disadvantage that would arise in the presence of lobbies populated by users who on the one hand use the controller and on the other use the mouse-keyboard combination).
