The Xbox Game Pass for PC offers a full programme in June: In addition to Assassin’s Creed: Origins, there are other highlights. As always, we have the overview for you!
Summertime is gamer time, at least according to the PC Game Pass. Right at the start of June 2022, it’s offering several exciting titles that you can get as part of your subscription at no extra charge. With Assassin’s Creed: Origins, another big Ubisoft name is moving into the library and of course there’s a lot more.
Total War: Three Kingdoms
(Genre: Strategy – Developer: Creative Assembly – Release: 23 May 2019 – In Game Pass from: 21 June 2022)
Although the China setting did not meet with the greatest enthusiasm in this country, the combination of mytholgy and history does a lot right. Especially the numerous new diplomacy and espionage options could convince us in our test from 2019.
Even if Three Kingdoms weakens a little in the battles and lacks innovation, you still get an excellent Total War here and thus automatically also an outstanding strategy game.
Assassin’s Creed Origins
(Genre: Action-Adventure – Developer: Ubisoft Montreal – Release: 27 October 2017 – In Game Pass from: 7 June 2022)
Assassin’s Creed Origins marked a reboot for the series. New role-playing elements, a huge open world with lots of variety and new gameplay freedom make the tenth part very popular among fans. From June, you can also travel through Ancient Egypt with its huge pyramids, scorching desert, green Nile delta and the Mediterranean Sea with the PC Game Pass. Be sure to plan plenty of time for this, because the world invites you to take long exploration tours.
The story about the lovers Bayek and Aya (you control both of them, even if Bayek gets the most playing time) has some really strong, emotional moments. And last but not least, we learn more about the mysterious origins of the Assassin Order! Only the present-day story didn’t really convince us in the test. But there’s all the more to discover in the ancient world!
More new PC games in Game Pass in June 2022
