Xbox CEO Asha Sharma made a lot of headlines last month when she called Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ‘too expensive’ and suggested a price drop. And a couple of days after, we did see a dip in Game Pass prices. And now, the XBox Game Pass is back making headlines. It is getting 13 new games (some of which are already out) and the list includes the upcoming Forza Horizon 6, the recently-launched DOOM: The Dark Ages, and the evergreen title Subnautica 2.
Xbox revealed the list in a recent blog post. “Welcome back friends! You’re in the right place if you’re looking for a heads up on the games coming your way (and a few that might quietly take over your entire schedule, you’ve been warned). Get your controllers, your keyboards, and your headphones, and take a look at what’s coming soon to Game Pass,” the post reads.
