- The latest entries to Xbox Game Pass' library have managed to grab the attention of its subscibers.
- With popular titles from Square Enix's past making the cut, fans are happy with the nostalgia on offer.
- However, Microsoft will have to pull up its socks and capitalize on the small slice of goodwill it has garnered with additional titles that fans have been requesting for a long time.
A new batch of additions to Xbox Game Pass seems to have fans of Microsoft’s subscription-based gaming service quite happy with its choice of titles. Coming off the heels of a slew of exciting announcements from its rival Sony at its recent State of Play event, the new entries to Game Pass’ expansive library are sure to give Microsoft fans something to cheer about.
In what is a rare occurrence in recent times for Microsoft, reactions to its new additions are positive, and the company will be sure to enjoy the praise it has managed to garner in light of the troubles it currently faces with its consoles.
Xbox Game Pass Celebrates a Rare Victory
It has been a trying time for Microsoft and Xbox Game Pass with the recent announcement of Sony’s mid-gen upgrade to the ever-popular PlayStation 5 threatening to make its own flagship consoles almost redundant in gamers’ eyes despite their capability to run the best of what modern gaming has to offer.
Those troubles have only been exacerbated by run-ins with the FTC, which has been gunning for Microsoft ever since the company’s acquisition of Activision and negative reactions to its revision of pricing and offerings on various tiers of Xbox Game Pass. However, it seems that the service continues to hold out hope for better days with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 being just around the corner.
Game Pass Subscribers Appreciate a Pleasant Surprise From Microsoft
The latest additions to Xbox Game Pass include titles from the action RPG series Mana, which were quite popular offerings from Square, which is currently operating as Square Enix. With two entries to the franchise making their way to the service, Game Pass subscribers are quite happy to dive in while they wait for the addition of titles from the Final Fantasy franchise to take up their time in the near future.
Reactions to the post below from Xbox Game Pass’ official handle showcase how its recent choices for additions to its library are largely positive – a win that the service will gladly enjoy.
It is certainly a rarity to see positive responses from subscribers who have not hesitated to be critical of Microsoft and the service in recent times.
However, there are a few players who still expect more from the service in the wake of its more expensive pricing and reports of massive annual spending by Microsoft to keep it alive in the first place.
Other fans are hoping to see the remasters of Final Fantasy arrive on the service sooner rather than later, offering suggestions to Microsoft that it may very well act on.
However, Microsoft is sure to appreciate the victory that its new additions to Xbox Game Pass have brought it.
Fans of the service will hope that it continues to bring in new titles that stoke their enthusiasm while it tries to stay on top of its game despite the troubles it faces.
