Microsoft revealed the next batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass and it’s one of the biggest rounds yet. Over the next few weeks, the service will add Control, Yakuza: The Remastered Collection, and more.
Control comes to the PC version of the service on January 21. Remedy Entertainment’s third-person action game was a big hit in 2019, landing multiple nominations at the Game Awards including Game of the Year. In our review of the game, we called it “a bizarre paranormal action game that feels like it can sit alongside The X-Files.”
Yakuza: The Remastered Collection hits console, PC, and Microsoft’s cloud gaming service on January 28. Announced at this year’s Game Awards, the collection features remastered versions of Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and Yakuza 5.
