Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Resident Evil 2 lead first batch of Game Pass titles for 2024
Microsoft has announced the first batch of Game Pass titles for 2024, and it’s a pretty decent line-up to kick off the new year.
Starting things off is Close to the Sun, available today for cloud, console, and PC. In this first-person horror adventure set in 1897, you play journalist Rose Archer, who boards Nikola Tesla’s massive ship, Helios, in search of her sister. The ship is a haven for scientists of various disciplines, and here, they can conduct research away from prying eyes. Upon boarding, Rose finds the vessel empty and reeking of death, so she sets out to find the answer as to why. She soon finds herself in grave danger with no way of defending herself, and her only means of survival are running, hiding, and quick thinking.
Tomorrow, January 4, will see the Game Pass release of Hell Let Loose for cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The World War 2 first-person shooter game features 100-person player battles across large, to-scale maps, where working as a team is a matter of life and death. In the game, you will participate in iconic battles of the Eastern and Western Fronts, including Carentan, Omaha Beach, Stalingrad, Kursk, and more, featuring infantry, tanks, artillery, a dynamically shifting front line, and a unique resource-based RTS-inspired meta-game.
