Oh wow, so is Absolver launching into Gamepass? That's pretty cool, also is it weird that I really want to try Farming Simulator?

Haha, I actually had fun playing Farming Simulator with my friends one night. Maybe we Dutchies are closer to Germans than we want to acknowledge..

Indeed, wasn't expecting that. Very impressive.

That said, this line-up doesn't touch December's relentless barrage of greatness. Although from what I understand this is only some of January's games, so more will be coming in the second half of the month.

EDIT: Might be worth adding this info to the OP Theorry


Obviously by the 3rd, he means 2nd.

Even if Ark isn't ERA popular, it's still a top 15 most played game so this is a massive get for Game Pass.

Forza Horizon 4 was the last game I cared about that came to the service.

Its been good but needs more lately, I can't continue subbing if one game every 5 months is all I play.

This.

It's one of the biggest games this generation. Having that on Gamepass is really impressive.

Absolver seems a great fit to launch into Game Pass. Having a big population did wonders for the passive multiplayer in Ashen so I imagine the same will be true for Absolver.

Also important to mention that ARK:Survival Evolved is a Play Anywhere title and can be played on PC with Gamepass.

Really looking forward to Absolover and as a long retired and battle worn Ark veteran I might have to dive back in, be prepared for jank but there is so much fun to find.

LiS2 is quite big, non? For one single episode? Or is it all added at once and episodes are just "unlocks"?
