Xbox Game Pass – Increased Games, Increased Choice
This week brings fresh excitement to Xbox Game Pass, with two standout titles offering wildly different—but equally captivating—adventures. Whether you’re lured by eerie oceans or alien planets aflame, there’s something new to discover.
DREDGE
Available May 6 – Uncover the Horrors Beneath the Surface
Set sail in DREDGE, a fishing adventure that starts peacefully and slowly drifts into horror. You’ll captain a small trawler among remote islands, casting nets by daylight and facing disturbing supernatural threats after dusk.
Though it begins like a relaxing sim, the game reveals a darker undercurrent. Strange creatures, mysterious contracts, and eerie waters transform fishing into survival. Upgrade your gear and delve into forbidden depths—but beware, the sea hides more than fish.
“DREDGE is grotesquely lovely and really immersive. Paired with the cozy charm of Moonglow Bay, it showcases the light and dark sides of fishing games—and we’re completely hooked.” – 4.5/5 review
Revenge of the Savage Planet: Standard Edition
Released May 8 – Payback Time in Space
Get ready for mayhem in Revenge of the Savage Planet. Stranded by your employer, you return to space with a grudge—and a jetpack. Explore colorful alien planets teeming with odd wildlife, gadgets, and ways to wreak havoc.
This standalone follow-up to Journey to the Savage Planet retains its absurd humor and explosive gameplay. Whether you’re exploring solo or in split-screen or online co-op, you’ll scan, smash, and laugh your way across the cosmos in search of justice.
“A fast, fluid, and wildly fun experience with a perfectly pitched sense of humor.”
Early Access: The Cosmic Hoarder Edition offers early entry starting May 5.
