Key Takeaways

  • Star Trucker is launching on Xbox Game Pass on September 3, offering interstellar trucking with upgrades and side gigs.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the recent announcements by Xbox Game Pass have me utterly thrilled! The arrival of “Star Trucker” on day one is just the tip of the iceberg for an extraordinary month of gaming goodness.


Space Truckin’, a space-themed trucking simulation game produced by Monster & Monster, is now available on Xbox Game Pass today as a launch title. Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass remains a valuable resource for dedicated gamers, allowing them to test out games they might not have otherwise bought, assuming it didn’t seem like something they’d be interested in. The subscription service provides access to hundreds of titles, ranging from indie to AAA, and encompassing various genres.

Several exciting game titles are set to arrive on the service this month, with many options for fans of simulation and strategy genres in September. For those who appreciate simulation games, look forward to the arrival of “Star Trucker” along with “Expeditions: A MudRunner Game” on September 5 and “Train Sim World 6” on September 17. Strategy game enthusiasts will be delighted by the arrival of three new day-one releases coming to Game Pass: “Age of Mythology: Retold”, “Frostpunk 2”, and “Ara: History Untold”.

Kick-starting the rollout of numerous premium games slated for release in September, Xbox Game Pass has incorporated Star Trucker into its collection of video games. This unique trucking simulator allows players to assume control of a massive spacecraft and transport cargo across vast galaxies, offering an intriguing spin on the concept. Your journeys will take you through interstellar highways, equipped with warp jumps, hyper-highways, and a star map for navigational purposes. Players can also customize and enhance their vehicles to better traverse treacherous regions. Tune into the CB radio for additional jobs and, perhaps most significantly, to keep abreast of the latest interstellar news and gossip.

Star Trucker is the brainchild of a small two-person team who enlisted friends’ help in developing this distinctive simulation game. In the months prior to its release on September 3, the developers have disclosed some features players can anticipate from the game. The game will offer five levels of difficulty, including a personalized setting that allows players to adjust the ratio between loading and maintenance tasks. Players will have the ability to venture outside their spacecraft like astronauts to inspect it, and accruing experience points (XP) will enable them to unlock diverse cargo types and weights for more complex assignments.

In the wake of Monster and its trucking simulator’s debut, another title, “Expeditions: A MudRunner Game,” is slated to join the Xbox Game Pass library just a few days later. Following the triumph of “MudRunner” and “SnowRunner,” Saber Interactive has crafted a spin-off that places more emphasis on exploration compared to heavy hauling. In this game, players will journey through archaeological sites, dense forests, enigmatic ruins, steep inclines, and deep rivers in Arizona and the Carpathian Mountains of Europe.
