Gonna be a good good upcoming weeks! Been looking forward to the Ascent since the reveal last May. Can’t wait for the eye candy in Flight Sim too.

Coming Soon to Xbox Game Pass: Microsoft Flight Simulator, The Ascent, and More - Xbox Wire

I hope you have a cleared-out gaming schedule, as we’ve got many games to look forward to through the rest of July with Xbox Game Pass! On July 27, we’re taking to the skies with Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox Series X|S, plus we’re continuing our 20 Years of Xbox celebration with some...

Anybody familiar with the other smaller games like Cris Tales & Last Stop? Always open to trying something new.

 

[reksveks]

Last Stop is the quirky Freaky Friday game, I would probably wait unless you are into those quirky British comedy type of games.

 

[JackMcGunns]

The Ascent looks damn good. Can't wait to try it and Flight Simulator too, some great additions and the BC list to top it all.

 

[kingfey]

How is blinx? I heard he was going to be the mascot for Xbox. But people forgot about him.

Hmm yeah not sure about that one.

I remember the hype around that and MS trying to create a new mascot. From what I remember it was way overhyped.

 

[reksveks]

Hmm yeah not sure about that one.

Going to give it a go cause its just a time commitment but it feels like it's marmite.

Who is gonna be their mascot now? Halo is old. They need new face.

Ah yeah, the first Xbox, good times.

I still have that box. Best purchase I made. Bought it from thrift store. Had fun times with it.

 

[MOTM]

I think the times of needing a mascot is passed. IMO that was more relevant in the Nintendo/SEGA days.

[anthony2690]

That's a pretty good line up, always wanted to try lethal league blaze out as well!
But worried the player base wouldn't be there, but now it's on game pass, excellent, it should get a nice healthy player base!

Mega excited for the ascent, and really looking forward to trying out flight simulator.

Cristales & Raji look unique too.

 

[reksveks]

Personally interested in 6 of those

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

 

[Captain Toad]

If The Ascent reviews well, I may try it. Otherwise, nothing for me this month.

Have they said what games are going away?

Edit: I see it now. The Touryst, Undermine and It Lurks Below. No big losses.

 

[MDSLKTR]

GP going supernova starting the 27th

I'll give Ascent a try. I doubt I'll go longer than one playthrough though. I doesn't have rearranged maps like Diablo.

 

[TheGodfather07]

Gamepass is going to be insane when the big games start dropping. It's amazing that when I'm finally able to get a series x, I'll have access to a massive library of games for a small fee.

 

[FrozenFlame]

Atomicrops, Project Wingman and The Ascent for me.

Last Stop is the quirky Freaky Friday game, I would probably wait unless you are into those quirky British comedy type of games.

Well, thanks. I was going to give it a try based on being a supernatural adventure game, but the comedy part is a big turn off.

 

[Captain Toad]

I'll give Ascent a try. I doubt I'll go longer than one playthrough though. I doesn't have rearranged maps like Diablo.

Same. I'm waiting for Diablo 2, which I've never played.

 

[Punished Miku]

Let's all have fun playing video games.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Same. I'm waiting for Diablo 2, which I've never played.

Diablo 2 is solid. And by the looks of it, they are adding quality of life improvements which were added in D3.

D2 was so old school you had to pick up every gold pile on the ground one click at a time, buy arrows in quivers of 250 and have Identify Item scrolls. I think you also needed Town Portal scrolls too.

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

Clan matches in Crimson Skies back in the day was amazing, love that fucking game.

 

[splattered]

Wow that's actually a pretty dang good drop there

 

[twilo99]

Battlefield 5 in da cloud.. that's not gonna go very well I don't think

 

[HotPocket69]

Man, GamePass just keeps delivering huh? All of this gaming greatness and I barely need to spend a dime! Power to the players!

 

[twilo99]

Atomicrops, Project Wingman and The Ascent for me.

Is project wingman any good? I think I'm gonna give it a go

 

[Hendrick's]

Crimson Skies is a good add. Now get MechAssualt on there.

 

[Esca]

Ooo crimson skies. Absolutely loved that game and was damn good at it. Me want to play again

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Hyped for The Ascent!!! No interest in the rest.

 

[Plantoid]

Ascent day fucking one, flight simulator just for the luls

 

[Riky]

Definitely trying Flight Simulator, got to see this at 4k. I've still got my disc copy of Crimson Skies.

 

[MrS]

Ascent and Flight sim both look great. Good month

 

[elliot5]

my new house is gigabit speeds and unlimited data. you bet your ass I'm getting flight sim installed.

the more games on the cloud the better. Makes MS Rewards easy to claim. BFV was on recently and luckily it had a quick start download so I didn't have to get the full thing.

 

[Fredrik]

Who is gonna be their mascot now? Halo is old. They need new face.

 

[Fredrik]

The Ascent is a day 1 install, looks amazing.

 

[Jigsaah]

It's time to take my place atop the leaderboards in Crimson Skies once again.

Who tf am I fooling, I don't have the time to put into that game anymore. Besides, is multiplayer gonna be available?

 

[Bladed Thesis]

Same. I'm waiting for Diablo 2, which I've never played.

You're in for a treat.

Nah there's no original xbox servers up anymore. The game looks amazing in 4k though.

 

[FrozenFlame]

From what I gathered, it's a low budget Ace Combat (less visually impressive and lack of cutscenes) but still good. As a rental, I can't complain (and if I enjoy it, I'll get the Humble Choice that has it, which probably will be next month).

[JackMcGunns]

I remember the hype around that and MS trying to create a new mascot. From what I remember it was way overhyped.

There was supposed to be a feature that was only possible because of the standard HDD in Xbox which the PS2 didn't have, I guess similar hype about the SSD today. You can rewind time during gameplay and watch your character making the same moves you did before the rewind and handle multiple tasks at once, it was something new at the time.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

I own Crimson Skies and was able to play it on my One X, haven't even tried on the XSX yet but I wonder why this wasn't already on GP?

 

[bender]

Let me preload Flight Sim you cowards.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Hope to see all you guys in the sky in FS, might not be an actual game but it can be fun

 

[Interfectum]

Game Pass lists are getting better and more exclusive. Xbox going to blowup this fall and next spring. Gonna be a wild console war folks!

 

[Son_of_Zardoz]

Gonna have to see if I can get my kids to play some system link games of Crimson Skies. If we can get that working it'll be awesome. Love that game so much. Shame we never got a sequel.

 

[daveonezero]

Crimson skies is one of my favorite games ever sad there’s no games like it.
