has announced the rest of November’s Game Pass slate. From flight sims to post-apocalyptic shooters, there is something for every Xbox player to enjoy. This also includes a recent game that was lauded by critics and gamers.
Developed by Tindalos Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, Aliens: Dark Descent comes to Xbox Game Pass on November 27, 2024. It will be available for Cloud, Console, and PC via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, or Game Pass Standard. For those unaware, the game is a real-time tactics game based in the Alien universe. Players command a squad of Colonial Marines to fight the iconic Xenomorphs.
“In Aliens: Dark Descent, command a squad of hardened Colonial Marines to stop a terrifying Xenomorph outbreak on Moon Lethe,” reads the game’s description. “Lead your soldiers in real-time combat against iconic Xenomorphs, rogue operatives from the insatiable Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and a host of horrifying creatures new to the Alien franchise.”
Video games based on the Alien franchise are pretty hit or miss, but Aliens: Dark Descent did receive favorable reviews when it launched in 2023. On Metacritic, it received a 75 Metascore and an 8.1 user score. Steam users seem to think highly of the game as well, as it currently sits at “Very Positive” with its reviews on the digital PC storefront Steam. Any fan of the sci-fi series may want to check this one out if they subscribe to Xbox’s game service.
There are some other solid additions coming to Xbox Game Pass for the rest of the month. Today, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is available on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S via Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass. Additionally, the highly anticipated S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is available tomorrow, November 20, 2024, on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S via Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
