My favorite part about announcing games coming soon to Xbox Game Pass is that feeling where you know you’re about to make someone’s day. Sharing ‘coming soon’ details about a new game they’ve been excited about (you can catch me playing Immortality on launch day), one they’ve never heard of that might become their new favorite, or a beloved classic they get to play again. We’ve got all of these and more for you coming soon to Game Pass (and maybe some more surprises later this week) so let’s jump in!

Actually pretty dang good.

Tinykin had a slightly interesting demo up during E3. Unique artstyle.
Midnight Fight Express is top of my list. Pretty excited.
Immortals is good. I already have it but it's a decent add.
Immortality is getting some shockingly high reviews, so I'm in.
Opus was in the Nintendo Direct and is on my wishlist so I'll play that too.
Commandos 3 I will also try. Loved Shogun and Desperados, but I know this is an older game.

Only one I've never heard of is Coffee Talk. Probably lame, but I'll try it. Not too shabby for 2 weeks.

Just because you never heard of the game , does not mean it is lame. What a horrible take. And btw , the game is pretty great and relaxing.
Well I said I'll try it. Glad it's enjoyable. I'm pretty open minded on trying new stuff. The title is definitely a little lame though.

lame title

Fenix Rising. That is the one I will try.

I have been playing wildlands, but it is me flying a chopper, shooting, grab something, jump back on chopper, repeat. It is fine, but that is it.

I've heard a lot of good things about Fenix Rising, but I never got around to buying it. Now I don't have to.

Immortality and midnight Fight Express sound interesting will try them out along with a couple others. Overall, it's a good month for me.

Wildcards is lots of fun with a friend or two. That's when it really shines.

Immortality sounds interesting.
 
Loved the Midnight Fight Express demo on Steam earlier this year, I can't wait for that one - one of my most wanted quick games to run through

I beat Fenyx on PS5, it was an okay game. At times the menus/aesthetic feel a little "mobile-ish" but it was a pretty cool game.

Midnight Fight Express was on my radar so I’m happy. Hades leaving is a shame as it’s one of my most played games this past year but honestly I haven’t touched it in a month or so. If there is updates to it, I might buy it.

Immortal fenyx a banger.

Midnight fight express, may try.

Immortality, the most depressing game I've seen on a while.

Immortality is really good based on the EDGE review.

Coffee talk is at 95% positive reviews on Steam.

Tinykin is day 1 so hard to tell if it’s good or not.

Do the Ubisoft games on gamepass just make you install and link accounts to ubisoft launcher on PC like the EA ones?

Coffee Talk I think is an id@xbox title from a couple years ago

And there is an expansion supposed to come out this year, maybe thats why they added the first one now


The dev who made the first game passed away. Very sad. https://www.pcgamer.com/coffee-talk-creator-fahmi-has-died-at-32/

Thanks for the answer, I'm gonna need to be really drunk to be bothered then.
Yeah it’s annoying, especially since they fixed the EA Play integration and removed the need for a separate launcher.

Maybe a similar fix will come to Uplay or whatever the Ubi service is called.
