Two new games hit Xbox Game Pass today – including a promising new release
Game Pass subscribers can look forward to a fresh addition today with Revenge of the Savage Planet, a brand-new title joining Microsoft’s gaming subscription. The action-adventure has already earned around 60 reviews on Steam during Advanced Access, with an impressive 96% positive rating. For those who prefer brawling with mutants over exploring alien worlds, Mutants Unleashed offers a thrilling alternative. A quick look at both games follows below.
Revenge of the Savage Planet - Cloud, PC and Xbox Series X|S
Set in a future dominated by greed and corporate chaos, Revenge of the Savage Planet casts players as a former employee of the mega-corporation Alta Interglobal. After spending a century in cryosleep, you awaken on a mysterious alien planet – only to find out you’ve been fired and left behind. Your mission: survive, gather resources, explore the hostile world and ultimately take revenge on the company that abandoned you.
Revenge of the Savage Planet delivers a dynamic blend of exploration, platforming, puzzles and combat, all from a third-person perspective. Armed with slime-based weapons and abilities like double-jumps and wall-jumps, you’ll fend off bizarre aliens and biomechanical foes. The game features four open alien worlds to explore freely – including vertical traversal thanks to grappling hooks. A cross-platform co-op mode is also available, playable both online and in local split-screen.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed - Cloud, console and PC
Following their triumph over Superfly and newfound acceptance by society, the Turtles are finally living like regular teens and even attending high school. But their break from action is short-lived. When a wave of new mutants – known as the "Mewbies" – starts causing chaos in New York City, the brothers spring back into action. With help from April O’Neil and Master Splinter, they face off against this fresh threat.
Mutants Unleashed blends classic beat-'em-up action with platforming elements, letting players choose from Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello or Michelangelo – each with unique abilities and fighting styles. Whether solo or in local co-op for two players, you’ll battle through a variety of levels, from the streets of New York to hidden underground facilities. Alongside intense combat, the game features exploration tasks and collectibles – including graffiti tags and pizza deliveries – that offer additional challenges and rewards.
