Good news, the Xbox Game Pass should soon welcome two absolutely cult games that will delight players, especially RPG fans.
Whatever your favorite genre, you should find what you’re looking for in Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft’s subscription service offers a large catalog of particularly eclectic games and on top of that, it welcomes new titles monthly (although the releases are also regular). While the August vintage unveiled recently already has its share of outstanding titles, a nice surprise could be announced very soon.
Two legendary games soon in the Xbox Game Pass?
For the past few hours, several players have indicated that they have received a notification from their Xbox Game Pass application mentioning the arrival of the compilation Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2: Enhanced Edition in Microsoft’s service catalog. ” Baldur’s Gate 1 and Baldur’s Gate 2 are available! Play these games and more with Game Pass “, can we read thanks to the screenshots of the notification circulating on social networks.
It is hard to imagine that Xbox made a mistake by sending this message via the mobile application dedicated to its service. Now we just have to wait for an announcement to know when the games will arrive in the catalog, since they do not appear in the tab of recently added games, nor in that of titles coming soon on the Xbox Game Pass page. We remember that the Redmond firm had already made the same mistake with Maquette, which had finally landed a week later. The two RPGs should therefore be part of the second wave of additions to the service.
A clever idea from Microsoft
In any case, the timing to make the compilation of the first two Baldur’s Gate available in the Xbox Game Pass would be a nice move from Microsoft. Baldur’s Gate 3 is due out August 3 on PC and early September on PS5. With this surprise arrival, fans of the cult saga and more broadly of RPGs would still have enough to find their happiness on Xbox consoles, deprived of the new title from Larian Studios for the moment until the studio manages to implement correctly split-screen functionality on the less powerful model.
Remember that the month of September promises to be a turning point in the history of Game Pass since a new formula, the Xbox Game Pass Core, will see the light of day to replace Xbox Live Gold. We therefore advise you to download the last two games offered to Gold subscribers in August before the final end of the subscription, especially since they are worth the detour.
