Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases tomorrow after a six-month delay and plenty of controversy, and all signs point to it being a worthy chapter in Adam Jensen’s story. But if you still want more augmented action and can’t wait for a sequel, Square Enix has detailed just want to expect in the game’s season pass. In addition to new narrative content, the pass will load you up with plenty of consumable items and currency.

Starting tomorrow, anyone who purchases the Mankind Divided season pass will be given a plethora of goodies to make their time with the game easier, or at least a little quicker. An “Assault Pack” offers “a custom skinned Battle Rifle,” the “Chaff Augmentation,” as well as extra ammunition and grenades. The “Tactical Pack,” meanwhile, will give players a custom Tranquilizer Rifle, the “Micro Assembler” augmentation, and non-lethal ammunition and grenades. Buying these two packs on their own will otherwise cost you about $15.

“Chipsets” and special booster packs are also included, letting you acquire “exclusive items” as well as additional currency and ammunition, and four “Praxis Kits” will also let you customize your version of Adam Jensen more thoroughly. As with the two weapon packs, this DLC is all available on its own, with the largest chipset pack costing $40 — more than the season pass itself.

Though little information is known on the game’s two narrative packs aside from their names — System Rift and A Criminal Past — you won’t have to wait too long to dive into post-release content. The former pack will be available this fall, while the latter is launching early next year.

The Deus Ex: Mankind Divided season pass will set you back $30, and it’s also included in the game’s “Digital Deluxe Edition.” Unfortunately, the collector’s edition, which features an art book and a beautiful figurine, doesn’t offer the season pass.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided releases tomorrow, August 23, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves
An election poster for guybrush in Sea of Thieves.

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.
