Unsurprisingly, in this first week of February 2022, Xbox communicates about what awaits us in the Xbox Game Pass and the PC Game Pass until half of the month. And as usual, the sources of rejoicing are numerous thanks to no less than 10 titles which join the service. There is as expected Besiege (Game Preview), but also Edge of Eternity and infernax from their launch, the content of the Survivor Edition of ARK: Survival Evolved or even the little known and yet appreciated Contrast and Telling Lies.
The big piece remains CrossfireX, FPS exclusive whose solo was developed by Remedy : the first part of the campaign, Operation: Catalyst, will be free for subscribers, but the second, Operation: Specter, will be payable and included in the Ultimate Pack at €24.99. The multiplayer will be for the record accessible to all in free-to-play.
The complete program is available below, with all the same 6 departures on February 15, including Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age and control.
