As if sensing blood in the water, Microsoft went for the throat this December by announcing a killer lineup for the Xbox Game Pass to end the year.
Shortly after Sony revealed the PS Plus Essential lineup for December 2023, which wasn't awful but not great either, the multi-trillion-dollar tech giant has announced that a plethora of games are joining its popular video game subscription service. Unlike previous months where new titles were gradually revealed, this time, Microsoft opted to announce the entire lineup at once. Among these additions, one game that stands out as a particularly significant inclusion is Remnant 2.
Remnant 2, developed by Gunfire Games and published by Gearbox Entertainment, is a third-person shooter that has a hint of Soulslike gameplay. It has been widely acclaimed for its engaging boss design, compelling storyline, as well as its integration of rougelite elements, making it one of the year's standout titles, which is saying a lot. Its surprise release on Game Pass is a major boon for subscribers, offering them instant access to one of the year's most talked-about games. The game's predecessor, Remnant: From the Ashes, is also available on Game Pass, allowing players to explore the series' origins.
