Seems very divisive.

Rain World Review - IGN

Beautiful but absurdly cruel, this platformer gives and takes away in not-quite-equal measures.

Well, it doesn't hurt to try.

Hyped for 9 Kings.

Wasn't Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders already available for everyone? I remember I played it on the Xbox when I picked up a monthly sub to finish Expedition 33.

Mirage is good purely because it's the first proper Ass Creed game in forever.

No bullshit, overly huge map and grinding needed, it's straight to the point and an entertaining 12 or so hour journey.

Well this actually makes me wanna play it

We had like 5 day 1s last month. This is just the first 2 weeks. Herdling is day 1 on Aug 21st. This isn't counting the Hellblade 2 free update.

Also this is a slow month. September also looks slow. Then October has Ninja Gaiden 4, Outer Worlds 2, and Call of Duty. November has Keeper. PS doesn't even have 4 first party titles this year, and we're getting 3 in just 2 months plus a second party title all day 1 on the sub.

If you drop a ton of day 1s that no one could possibly be done playing like 2 weeks ago, sometimes it's best to have a down period for 2 weeks to recoup some money. No one is caught up yet.

You forgot Gears of War Reloaded. There's also a decent third party game confirmed for September. FrostPunk 2

Do you still have to sign into Ubisoft Connect like on Steam, if so, whats the point of being on another client as well.

Because Ubisoft and EA games aren't actually on Xbox app/MS Store. Gamepass syncs with the publishers' respective storefronts.

Like Citizen Sleepers 2, it launched on Ultimate, now it's available on the Standard tier as well.

i know they arn't on Xbox, that wasn't my point, if you buy a Ubisoft game on Steam you also have to sign into Ubisoft Connect at the same time, i don't run 2 launchers for 1 game!.

Sure, but what does that have to do with Ubisoft games on Gamepass? You will be running the Ubisoft Connect store version regardless.

Ultimate:

-Assassin's Creed Mirage (8/7)
-9 Kings (8/14)

Standard:
-Rain World (today)
-Citizen Sleeper 2 (8/6)
-Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (8/6)
-MechWarrior 5: Clans (8/6)
-Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (8/6)

I didn't even know there was a new Orcs Must Die.

I asked whether you have to run the Xbox app as well as Ubisoft connect at the same time, i'm not an Xbox gamer i'm a PC gamer who uses Steam and GOG etc, either answer the question or stop bringing up irrelevant points.

No, the Xbox app doesn't need to run. As long as the Gamepass account is synced up with Ubisoft. The games will show up in your library.

Oh right, double announcements tend to be a bit confusing. I guess it's a way to trick people into thinking that the service is getting even more games.

Snow Riders is fun.
I want to fry some aliens.

I think I am done with AC games for a while.
