Xbox Game Pass subscribers will happily rave about the value for money we are getting from the service. But, nothing beats a physical edition. And when that physical edition is being done by the guys over at iam8bit, you know it is going to be special. That’s why, when news of a physical edition for Psychonauts 2 for Xbox and PlayStation is released, it is big news.
The Xbox ecosystem has closed a great 2021, thanks to games like Forza Horizon 5, Halo Infinite, or Age of Empires IV, to mention some of its first swords. But for some people, now it's time to look to the future.
The Big Con arrived on Xbox and PC at the back end of August, giving gamers the chance to take in a wonderfully created '90s-styled cross-country comedy adventure that was pretty much unlike anything else. We loved it, praising the strong dialogue, the weird and wonderful cast of characters and the stunning art style. So when we were given the opportunity to quiz Mighty Yell Studios' and The Big Con's Game Director in order to find out even more about the game, we absolutely jumped at the chance.
We've been holding out for the next instalment in the Psychonauts saga since 2005, but now, some 16 years later our dreams have come true with Psychonauts 2 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass.
Accepted wisdom is that August is a shoddy month, full of games that are too scared to launch in the FIFA and COD wasteland. Everyone’s still hungover from E3 and the sun is out, too, so no one is playing games, right. Right? Stick a Family Fortunes-style ‘Nuh-uh’ here, as the accepted wisdom is wrong! August is a smorgasbord of gaming, with a finger-buffet of cracking Xbox games.
During a decidedly light E3 2021, Xbox and Bethesda came through swinging, bringing their best E3 presentation for years. It seems Xbox’s strategy is finally paying off as Xbox has proved that there has never been a better time to invest in their ecosystem.
After a mixed start to the year for Microsoft, there’s plenty over the course of the next two years for gamers to be excited about for the company. E3 is here very soon with Microsoft confirmed to be taking part.
Xbox Game Pass is a service that’s so good, it’s overwhelming. So much gets added to the service every single month that it’s easy to feel like you’re drowning in your backlog. We feel the same! That’s why every month we’ll be compiling the very best games added to Game Pass to help you decide what to play next. Here are the Xbox Games Pass’ highlights for the month of May 2021!
