Just found out that seven new games will be added today for Xbox game pass holders.

Dead Rising 2 & Dandara have been added at the time of posting.

Hitman Season 1
Welcome to the World of Assassination. You are Agent 47, the world’s best assassin.

As an agent of the International Contract Agency (ICA), you are tasked with taking out hard-to-reach, high-profile targets in exotic locations all around the world. You’ll need to use your wits and creativity to find ways in eliminating your targets in densely detailed and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike, what to use, and how to kill is all up to you.

Ruiner
It‘s the brutal world of 2091. Ruiner immerses you in a cyberpunk dystopia, where you take on the role of a wired sociopath out to uncover the truth about the corrupt system and to retrieve his kidnapped brother. This brutal action shooter immerses you in Rengkok City, from its shady back-alleys to its towering corporate titans. Get ready to experience a game carved from the mold of the best cyberpunk anime.

Ryse: Son of Rome
Ave! Join the legions of ancient Rome as Marius Titus, a centurion on the rise. Sword-and-sandals meets action combat as you battle with the unique flow system, allowing you to seamlessly weave your battle between enemies. Prepare to immerse yourself in this alternate history, where the battles you fight will determine the fate of an empire.

Dead Rising 2
The sequel to the smash hit features Chuck Greene, a motorcycle stuntman truly racing against time as he fights through hordes of zombies to keep his daughter alive. With loads of customized and constructible weapons, 2-player co-op, 4-player gladiator battles, and all DLC costumes included, players can rip through the undead horde in gory-ous 1080p at 60fps.

Dandara
Dandara is an exciting evolution to the metroidvania platformer genre. Take control of the mystical heroine Dandara as she leaps from the floor to walls to the ceiling, unhindered by gravity. Discover allies and mysteries hidden throughout as she fights to free the land of Salt from the oppression of the Eldarian Army.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead
8-bit pixels meet biting zombies in The Escapists: The Walking Dead. The pixel art style familiar to fans of The Escapists brings the world of “The Walking Dead” to glorious un-life as you take on the role of Rick Grimes as he fights an endless horde of walkers let loose upon the world. Lead characters to safety while avoiding (and destroying) the undead.

Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure
This Xbox 360 title, newly remastered for the Xbox One, now features controller support as well as support for the Kinect Sensor. Create your avatar and jump between the worlds of Pixar films like “Up,” “Cars,” “Ratatouille,” “Toy Story,” and “The Incredibles.” The remastered version features an all-new level based on “Finding Dory.” Unlock secret areas, new characters, and more as you master more than 15 fully-voice-acted levels!

    It’s this really a deal? It’s just the benefit of the subscription service, just like when Netflix adds and removes content. The following games were removed:

    • DiRT Rally
    • LIMBO
    • Overcooked
    • Pharaonic
    • So Many Me
    • Ultratron

    These ‘free’ games will be taken away too at some point.

    • Taegukgi on 02/08/2018 - 06:27

      Hmm, if someone was going to buy the game but doesn't need to now, is that a deal?

      • guidedlight on 02/08/2018 - 06:46

        Sure. Inversely, you could be halfway through a game and it’s removed.

        • [Deactivated] on 02/08/2018 - 07:25

          Edit/ nv, I thought this was gwg

        • guidedlight on 02/08/2018 - 07:26

          @Where's_That_Cake: This isn’t games with gold. It’s more like Netflix-for-gaming.

          It’s $10.95 per month too… almost double the cost of a Gold subscription (which you still need for multiplayer)

      No less a deal than when you posted similar:

        to be fair GwG is more of a deal than the monthly add/removal of game pass titles

        • SlappersOnly on 02/08/2018 - 11:19
          +10

          But GwG posts still isn’t really a bargain though. You have to pay the monthly subscription to get it. It’s more of a PSA. Also the Xbox one games are unplayable if you let your subscription lapse

    • Iggemo on 02/08/2018 - 10:17

      Yeah i dont know why the Tekken deal isnt voted up way more than this one; for some reason it's the other way around. That one is actually free.

      • SlappersOnly on 02/08/2018 - 12:57

        Personally I’m not a huge fan of the street fighter/mortal kombat games. I’m kind of over them as a genre. Sure, they’re enjoyable with friends but it just gets repetitive. Just feels like if you’ve played one then you’ve played them all just with different graphics and different set of moves to learn

        That being said, it’s free… so i just went to the Microsoft store and put it on my download queue for when I get home because I’m having some friends over Saturday night and it might be a fun game to try

        • Iggemo on 02/08/2018 - 17:30

          I wouldn't buy Tekken but for free i'll play it over the wknd for sure. But there is no Roger (the kangaroo) in this game, sadly, massive downer for me! Haha. All cos that dude punched a kanga in the head a couple of years back !

    • Robydc on 02/08/2018 - 10:57

      If you have the game pass and buy a featured game, you get a discount. I believe its 10% off.

    • syousef on 02/08/2018 - 14:54

      So Many Me is still starting. I wonder how it works if you've already got the game. How long till it stops launching?

      • guidedlight on 02/08/2018 - 15:28
        +1

        Not sure. It was a GWG title a while ago, so there’s a chance you already had that game through that.

        Also I think that Microsoft have a day or two of grace before they actually fully remove titles.

  • silverrat23 on 02/08/2018 - 08:38

    Hitman is the pick of the bunch here.

    One of my favourite stealth games to date!

    Thanks - just reminded me, I need to cancel Game Pass. :)

    Ryse was pretty fun. Good way to kill a couple of hours.

    As usual, the games I own do get added to Game Pass. It's just a matter of time. Hitman season 1 now added. What's next, Microsoft, which of the following games I own do you plan to add to Game Pass next? Assassin's creed origin? Call of duty WW2?

    I know Halo master chief collection will be added to Game Pass. I should stop buying XB1 games.

    • cheepo on 02/08/2018 - 13:47

      I think there's a slim chance of those being free with Gold as they're still the latest in the series. In my opinion…and I'm simply going by history here, I don't think COD WW2 will simply because none of the previous COD titles have so far.

      On the other hand, quiet a few Assassin's Creed games have been free.

      I've come close in buying Quantum Break a few times (I know it's not meant to be great) but I'm convinced that will come up at some point - so I have held off.

      • netsurfer on 02/08/2018 - 23:41

        I bought Quantum Break already… So based on history, it will be added.

        • cheepo on 03/08/2018 - 14:23

          😁

          Sell it! I'm actually surprised it's not on Game Pass yet seeing it's an exclusive.

        • netsurfer on 04/08/2018 - 12:24
          +1

          @cheepo: Need to keep it so Microsoft have more incentive to put it in Game Pass :)

          If in doubt, look at netsurfer's game collection, and pick games from that collection to add to GamePass.

        • cheepo on 04/08/2018 - 17:43

          @netsurfer:
          😂

  • mavis30551 on 02/08/2018 - 11:22

    Maybe Ill finally be able to install and play Rhyse even though i got it free like 2 years ago and never bloody installed..

  • AEKaBeer on 02/08/2018 - 11:41

    Didn't realise they removed games. The plan was to put my brothers kids on the game pass so that they won't have to buy more than one or two standalone AAA game a year. I'd hate to see them playing a game then the next day it comes off their library.

    • netsurfer on 02/08/2018 - 11:59

      They add and remove games every month. On average, most games are on GamePass for about a year. Some more, some less.
      It's possible to find out when a game will leave GamePass via XB1 console. For example, from memory, Gears of War 4 will be removed either at the end of this year or Jan 2019 (I checked a while back, but cannot remember the exact date it is set to).

      Microsoft don't randomly remove games from GamePass - most, if not all games already have a planned date when they will leave the GamePass library. You do get sufficient warning (it's still good to check for the games you really like or prioritise finish playing games leaving next month).

      DiRT Rally was removed, but Dirt 4 was added one month prior to its removal. PlayAnywhere titles on GamePass can also be played on PC (active membership required obviously and Windows 10 is required since you need to download/install the game through Microsoft App Store).

    I think the issue people are having with the post is the misleading capitalised FREE in the title. It’s not “free” but a paid service that is replacing games in its catalogue. I found it informative but wasn’t what I initially thought I was clicking on when saw the title

    • guidedlight on 02/08/2018 - 13:02

      Exactly. Furthermore the original deal was tagged as a Freebie (which has since been removed).

      The new season of Orange is the New Black just came out on Netflix but adding a deal that says “FREE Orange is the New Black” would be very misleading, yet that is what is happening here.

      Whilst this deal is a great PSA for those with Game Pass. It’s probably more appropriate in the forums. But then again the PSN monthly games and Games with Gold posts are technically in the same boat, yet they are more useful because almost all Xbox and PlayStation owners have those services.

      I think OzBargain could make some changes here to makes these PSA/deals appear for people with the right subscription, and hide them for others. Just a thought.

      • SlappersOnly on 02/08/2018 - 13:38

        Yeah, I wouldn’t know how you would even go about it and the site is still fine as it is now but it would be good to be able to categorise all the regular weekly coles catalogues/psn plus/Xbox live/humble bundle posts etc.

      • jjcf on 02/08/2018 - 16:27

        Is two or four posts a month really that bad, though? Considering it's something that appeals to a pretty broad audience, it seems fine.

        There are like ten posts for Xioami power banks every six minutes, so it's not like gamepass is dominating the page…

      • T1OOO on 02/08/2018 - 19:03

        But you can’t buy orange is the new Black normally?

        • SlappersOnly on 02/08/2018 - 20:00

          Lol…… really. You do realise you can buy tv shows. Digitally or physical copies

    Might be a bit harsh, but I feel like this is more of an advertisement than a deal. I don't come here to read advertisements.. ;(

  • Audisez on 02/08/2018 - 21:29

    Are the Xbox play anywhere titles available on PC with the Xbox game pass?

    • netsurfer on 02/08/2018 - 23:40

      Yes, they are. Example: Gears of War 4. You can play on Windows 10 with your active GamePass subscription. Obviously, decent graphics card also required.
