Xbox Game Pass Has 5 Day-One Games This Week

Wow, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate really delivered this week! We got five games dropped right on launch, including a surprise release that was previously a PlayStation 5 exclusive – can you believe it?! And one of the biggest Game Pass additions all year landed too. It’s been a busy week, so I might have even missed a couple of the smaller releases, but honestly, with drops like these, who’s complaining?

Microsoft typically doesn’t announce how long games stay on its Xbox and PC subscription service. However, since one of the newly added games is published by Xbox Game Studios, it’s likely to be available indefinitely. The other four games won’t have the same permanent availability.

Ninja Gaiden 4

I’m really excited about Ninja Gaiden 4! It’s an action game made by some awesome developers – Team Ninja, PlatinumGames, and Xbox Game Studios. You play as this super skilled young ninja named Yakumo, and the story is about saving a futuristic Tokyo from this really powerful, resurrected enemy. It looks intense!

Metacritic Score: 82

Platforms: PC and Xbox Series X

PowerWash Simulator 2

I’m so excited about PowerWash Simulator 2! It’s a really relaxing game where you get to be the ultimate power washer, and the goal is to clean up this messy town called Muckingham and make it look brand new. FuturLab really nailed the satisfying feeling of blasting dirt away!

Metacritic Score: 83

Platforms: PC and Xbox Series X
