Summary

  • Watch Dogs: Legion is now available on Xbox Game Pass, offering unique character recruitment and permadeath mechanics.
  • Xbox Game Pass also added Balatro, showcasing a growing library of diverse titles.
  • Upcoming releases include 33 Immortals in March and games like Blue Prince and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in April.

Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion has joined the ever-changing catalog of titles being offered on Xbox Game Pass. The third in a series that first launched in 2014, Watch Dogs: Legion takes players to a dystopian London of the future, where the hacking group DedSec has been framed for terrorism.

In addition to its multiplayer feature enabling four players to collaborate, Watch Dogs: Legion unveiled an innovative character play system. This allows gamers to enlist any Non-Player Character (NPC) in the game world, forming a distinct squad with varying backgrounds and skills. The system includes a permadeath feature, implying that any recruit who perishes during gameplay is permanently lost. As these characters are handpicked by the player, creating an emotional bond is more likely, thereby enhancing the tension and thrill for those seeking it.

2020’s “Watch Dogs: Legion” is now accessible for gamers with an Xbox Game Pass subscription at no extra cost, making it a great time for those who haven’t played it yet or want to revisit the game. This title adds to the impressive collection of games that have been added to the service this year, with “Far Cry New Dawn”, “Avowed”, and “Balatro” being just a few examples from February alone. Furthermore, titles like “Starfield”, “Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes”, and “Another Crab’s Treasure”, which are day-one launches on the Ultimate tier, will also become available to Standard tier members soon.
