As an avid gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen the evolution of city-building survival games from humble beginnings to modern-day masterpieces. The announcement of Frostpunk 2 being available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass has sent a shiver of excitement down my spine!

The eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2018 acclaimed city-building survival game, Frostpunk 2, is now playable on PC by subscribers of Xbox Game Pass. Due to recent adjustments in Microsoft’s subscription plan, only Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members can enjoy the game without extra charges. However, it is also possible for non-subscribers to purchase the game separately.

11 Bit Studios’ “Frostpunk 2” is set in an alternate early 20th-century history, 30 years post a catastrophic blizzard that has kept the world frozen within a continuous volcanic winter. In the original game, you guided a band of survivors to build a fortress amidst the harsh, wintry landscape. In the second installment, the residents of New London have grown more assertive, and their contentious tendencies are emerging as their ambitions jeopardize the city’s stability.

In September, Frostpunk 2 becomes the fifth game to debut on Xbox Game Pass on its launch day. However, it’s important to note that while the game is being developed for Xbox Series X/S, you won’t be able to play it on consoles until 2025. For now, only the PC version of Frostpunk 2 will be accessible through Game Pass subscriptions. This might not be a downside though, as the intricate city-builder is optimized for control using a mouse and keyboard.

Xbox Game Pass Titles Confirmed for September 2024

In “Frostpunk 2”, players find themselves managing a burgeoning community amidst a frozen wilderness. Scarcity of food, energy, and warmth resources are persistent challenges, along with the necessity to expand living quarters and essential services such as healthcare and spirituality. Simultaneously, human nature breeds discord. Factions emerge in the city of New London, each advocating for different priorities for the city’s development.

In the game Frostpunk 2, completing the campaign mode typically takes between 8 to 10 hours. Additionally, there’s a sandbox mode called Utopia Builder where players can pick their initial settlements and factions. The aim is to endure for as long as you can in this expanded version of what was offered in the original game, providing numerous opportunities for replayability. According to 11 Studios, this extends the game’s potential for endless play sessions. Currently, Frostpunk 2 has a “Mighty” rating on OpenCritic with an average critic score of 86. This means that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC subscribers have much to look forward to!

On top of that exciting news, Oxide Games’ “Ara: History Untold” is set to debut on Xbox Game Pass on September 24. This turn-based strategy game invites players to embark on an alternate historical journey where they construct monuments, cultivate cultures, and guide a nation towards the zenith of human accomplishment.
