Titles Launching Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass
Starfield
Starfield was the most foreseen game of the whole event. The long-awaited complete gameplay reveal for Starfield has arrived. Exploring planets, killing opponents, mining, scanning, and digital lockpicking appear to be part of the game’s more grounded space adventure experience. Starfield is set for a release in 2023 and will be available on day 1 on the Xbox Game Pass.
Redfall
At the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Redfall made its second appearance. Layla and her telekinetic talents, as well as ghostly elevators, are featured in this gameplay clip. We also received a full tour of the island where the game would be played.
The teaser also revealed all of the characters’ powers in Red Fall. Remi de la Rosa is a vampire-killing machine gun-wielding engineer with a robot partner. Devinder then shares his wide knowledge of vampires as well as macgyvered tools to trap adversaries. It will also be available on day 1 for Game Pass.
