Xbox Game Pass Adds an Open-World Game for All Ages

gamerant.com:

The Xbox Game Pass catalog has expanded to include LEGO 2K Drive. Unlike most additions to the popular subscription service, this Xbox Game Pass release comes with a catch in that it's skipping PC.

Q1 2024 has been an eventful period for Microsoft's subscribers, with Xbox Game Pass adding 41 new titles throughout the first three months of the year. That release momentum is still exhibiting no signs of slowing down, with LEGO 2K Drive being the third April 2024 addition to Xbox Game Pass in three days, after Ark: Survival Ascended and Superhot: Mind Control Delete already made their way to the service.

LEGO 2K Drive was originally released for consoles and PC in May 2023. Although many players and critics alike praised its picturesque open-world hubs and sheer amount of content, it still ended up debuting to mixed reviews, with its live-service elements and some mission repetitiveness being among the most common complaints among reviewers. Even so, the feature-packed nature of LEGO 2K Drive and its varied world design helped it develop a reputation as one of the most accessible open-world games of 2023. The LEGO setting also makes this arcade racer inherently suitable for all ages.
