The first wave of games coming to PC and Xbox Game Pass in September have been revealed, and it's a little barren.
The first wave of games coming to PC and Xbox Game Pass in September have been revealed, and it's a little barren.
The short version
- Probably the highlight is the arrival of new RuneScape co-op survival game Dragonwilds.
- Dragonwilds' arrival is quietly a rather monumental moment for RuneScape, for it represents the first time a RuneScape game has appeared on console.
- But to be clear: this is not the age-old MMO, it's a brand new open-world survival crafting game in the vein of Valheim or Enshrouded - that kind of thing.
What happened
Dragonwilds has been in early access testing since last spring, so this day-one Game Pass launch on 15th September represents its full 1.0 release, and it seems to have had pretty good feedback so far. Steam reviews for Dragonwilds are "very positive" , and Lottie - our resident RuneScape super-nerd, she won't mind me saying - was very encouraged when she previewed RuneScape: Dragonwilds last year.
Why it matters
Dragonwilds is coming to Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC by the way.
