Xbox Game Pass Adds Two Games with ‘Very Positive’ Reviews
Xbox Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat, as two very different yet fun indie games are being added to the service on February 15, 2024: PlateUp! and A Little to the Left. Gamers in search of a cozy and relaxing puzzle title will enjoy Max Inferno’s A Little to the Left, which is coming to PS4, PS5, and Xbox Game Pass.

The first DLC, “Cupboards & Drawers” will launch alongside the main game for $5.99, adding more than 25 new levels and some new challenges like secret compartments.
On the other end of the spectrum is the chaotic game about running a restaurant called PlateUp!, which can be played solo or with up to three friends. Available on PC since August 2022, the game launches on Switch, PS4, and PS5, as well as Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S via Game Pass on February 15.
