With the fall season quickly approaching, Xbox Game Pass is adding more high-profile games to its library. However, the service also caters to players who enjoy niche genres such as simulation and strategy games. The month of September 2024 has been especially exciting for Xbox Game Pass subscribers interested in games that require a deeper level of engagement and dedication. This week, I recommend checking out some of these engaging titles, particularly because one of them is launching on Xbox Game Pass today.
Frostpunk 2
Today, Frostpunk 2 will be available to Game Pass subscribers on PC. This sequel builds upon the original city-builder game set in a harsh, snowy apocalypse. Players must now navigate and maintain a restored civilization in a larger scale setting, increasing the challenges and stress levels. Frostpunk 2 is exclusive to PC and can be played with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game offers a hardcore off-roading simulation experience, focusing on exploration and challenging terrains. Players must carefully manage their vehicle’s gear and use tools to navigate tough landscapes. The game is available on Game Pass for PC, Xbox consoles, and Xbox Cloud Gaming, as well as on PS and Nintendo Switch.
Star Trucker
Star Trucker combines the elements of Euro Truck Simulator and Elite Dangerous by transporting cargo in space. This unique concept blends cargo delivery missions and space exploration with driving simulation, offering a fresh and engaging gameplay experience. Star Trucker is available on PC, Xbox consoles, and Xbox Cloud Gaming with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
