Since 2017 companies have been trying to sell services like Xbox Game Pass to gamers. Sony is doing it with PS Now although PS Now streams the game into your device they are similair since you pay a monthly fee and get a bunch of games for free. Microsoft has been growing the Xbox Game Pass library with Sea of thieves being added at March 20th. Microsoft has announced eight new games that are going to be added to Xbox Game Pass. 

The games coming to the service are Cities: Skylines, theHunter: Call of the Wild, Kingdom: New Lands, Portal Knights, ClusterTruck, Sacred Citadel, Late Shift, and Robocraft Infinity. Cities Skylines was originally released for PC, MAC, and Linux it has made it’s way to the Xbox One and PS 4. Cities Skylines is similair to EA’s SimCity. In Cities Skylines players start with a plot of land and start with some in-game money. The player is supposed to connect the city to the outside world by connecting a road to the highway. After that you can start making the city by making a source of energy, water, residential zones, commercial zones, and industrial zones. As you progress you will get new items for your city such as an airport, school, university, and more. You can purchase Xbox Game Pass for $9.99 a month and you can get a 14-day free trial. 

Around March Xbox Game Pass got many new games. Rise of the Tomb Raider, Super Lucky’s Tale, Resident Evil Revelation 2, Oxenfree 2, Sonic CD, and more. The service already has hundreds of games including all of Microsoft’s IPs such as Gears of War 2 and Halo 5. Remember unlike PS Now Xbox Game Pass downloads the games onto your hard drive instead of streaming it.
