Xbox Game Pass has released something new for the service every day this week (beginning February 13), and its latest is the day one release of Cities: Skylines Remastered. The original version of the game is on the service already, but the remaster hit digital shelves today, February 15, technically making it a day one release for Xbox Game Pass. For Xbox Series X/S and Cloud users, this game replaces that older version, but fans should also be aware that it comes with plenty of new features, too.
On February 13, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers got a ten-hour free trial of Wild Hearts; on February 14, Xbox Game Pass added strategy-action RPG Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord; and, of course, today is Cities: Skylines Remastered. The service is also set to release Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition on February 16, as well as Atomic Heart on February 21, and it's possible more is revealed soon.
