The Best Games Coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2020

Although Microsoft had a very rocky start with the launch of the Xbox One, they have had more success in recent times. One notable example of this is Xbox Game Pass.

The game subscription service first launched in 2017, giving players access to hundreds of titles for a monthly fee. It has gone from strength to strength since then and now Microsoft even publishes their first-party games directly on the service.

As Xbox Game Pass has grown to become more accepted, more and more publishers have joined up. Now almost every major publisher has some representation on the subscription service.

2020 is set to be no different. Microsoft has revealed a whole host of new titles that will be arriving over the next 12 months. Here are the best and most anticipated games you can expect to see on Xbox Game Pass in 2020.

Wasteland 3

Wasteland 3 is the sequel to the inXile Entertainment-developed Wasteland 2, which released in 2014. Microsoft purchased the studio in 2018, but they had already crowdfunded the post-apocalyptic sequel. Set in a freezing cold Colorado, players will take control of a ranger. The game will also feature multiplayer aspects, allowing players to team up in squads to tackle the campaign. Launching on May 19, Wasteland 3 is coming to a variety of platforms including Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft Flight Simulator

Although it might seem like a rather niche product, the Microsoft Flight Simulator series has been popular since it launched 37 years ago. Fans have long requested the company to bring the franchise back (its latest release was 2014’s Flight Simulator X). Now, Microsoft is granting those wishes in as a new installment is set to launch for Windows PC and Xbox One in 2020. The work of Asobo Studio, Microsoft Flight Simulator will once again allow players to pilot aircraft. Using data from Bing Maps, the game will realistically simulate millions of cities and more than 40,000 airports.
