Microsoft haveannouncedthe next batch of games coming to Game Pass, and just like thelast line-up, indie gems are carrying this fortnight’s offerings. August begins with veneratedA Short Hike, which crosses paths with fellow hikerDeath Strandingon its way off the Game Pass mega mountain.
Here’s everything coming to Game Pass (PC and Xbox) over the next two weeks:
I’m almost jealous that some of you get to play A Short Hike for the very first time, which is a lovely, low-stakes game about climbing an island’s peak any way you wish, all while helping its residents with their own funny little problems. Or you can spend all day fishing, racing, or playing stick-volleyball, or - you get the gist. It mixes fun platforming with chill exploration and it’s just a delightful time. We also named it one of the tenbest open world gameson PC.
Run-‘n-gunner Broforce is getting itsfinal update called Foreveron the same day it joins the service. Broforce Forever adds new playable bros and extra levels to the chaotic action movie love letter. And then a day later, things take a much darker and quieter turn with Limbo - a precursor to the many moody puzzly platformers that followed. Finally, Airborne Kingdom is the lush management game where you build a city among clouds. Nate Crowley (RPS in peace) called the game’s looks and mechanics“equally fresh.”
