Xbox Game Pass Adds Hectic Genre Hybrid With 'Very Positive' Reviews
Xbox Game Pass members can play Orcs Must Die! 3 as part of their subscriptions starting today. This is the tenth title to reach Xbox Game Pass in April 2024, and the 51st one since the turn of the year.
Developed by Plano, Texas-based Robot Entertainment, Orcs Must Die! is a series of fantasy genre hybrids that combine elements of third-person shooters with tower defense gameplay. The first two entries in the franchise were released in the early 2010s, whereas Orcs Must Die! 3 debuted as a timed Google Stadia exclusive in July 2020 before making its way to PC and consoles a year later.
The game has now also reached Microsoft's subscription service, having launched as part of the Xbox Game Pass April 2024 Wave 2 lineup. As is the case with most additions to the platform, the Game Pass version of Orcs Must Die! 3 is being offered to both PC and console owners, in addition to being available via Xbox Cloud gaming. Trophy hunters will find quite a bit of content to enjoy here, as the game boasts 38 achievements worth 2,150 Gamerscore points in total.
