GamesBeat Summit 2022 returns with its largest event for leaders in gaming on April 26-28th. Reserve your spot here!
Beware the ides of March? Not us gamers, for Xbox has announced the games coming to Game Pass for the second half of March. We’ve got three (technically four) day one launches in the next two weeks.
The first two games drop on March 17 (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!): The first day one release is snowboarding game Shredders, alongside tactical RPG The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. Both launch on PC, console, and cloud.
The next two games launch on March 22. The first is Tainted Grail: Conquest, a roguelike-RPG hybrid that’s currently available to PC players. The second is Zero Escape: The Nonary Games, the puzzle visual novel which launches on console, PC, and cloud.
