One of the main selling points of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service is how subscribers are able to get their hands on brand-new day one releases. The day one Xbox Game Pass games give the subscription service incredible value that is not really found anywhere else, as it basically pays for itself if anyone was planning on buying just a couple of the day one Game Pass games released in any given year.
On Tuesday, March 29, Microsoft added yet another day one Xbox Game Pass game to the lineup in the form of Crusader Kings 3, which first released for PC in 2020, but is just now making its console debut on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Crusader Kings 3 retails for $49.99, but those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription are able to experience the entire game without paying anything beyond their subscription fee.
Rumor: Resident Evil Village Could Be Coming to Xbox Game Pass
What makes Crusader Kings 3 such an exciting day one Xbox Game Pass game is its critical reaction. Crusader Kings 3 is a popular grand strategy game that has earned rave reviews from critics. Review aggregate site OpenCritic has Crusader Kings 3's overall review score at an impressive 91 rating, with 99% of critics recommending the game.
Crusader Kings 3's high review scores mean that even though it's a grand strategy game, which is a relatively niche genre, it may very well appeal to those who normally wouldn't give these kinds of games a chance. Luckily, Xbox Game Pass means that anyone curious about trying Crusader Kings 3 for themselves can do so without making any kind of major financial commitment. And then if they still want to have access to the game after it eventually leaves Game Pass, they'll be able to pick it up a 20% discount.
