Newest Xbox Game Pass Game Is an Instant Hit With Subscribers

Xbox Game Pass subscribers shouldn't sleep on the latest addition.

The latest Xbox Game Pass game is proving to be an instant hit with subscribers, or at least subscribers over on the Xbox Game Pass Reddit page. How many subscribers are tuning into the new Game Pass release, we don't know, but those who are booting up the latest addition to the PC and Xbox Series X|S versions of the subscription service seem to be enjoying it. 

For those that missed it, on August 22 Microsoft updated Xbox Game Pass with Atlas Fallen, or Atlas Fallen: Reign Of Sand as it's been renamed in a recent rebranding of the 2023 game from developer Deck13 and publisher Focus Entertainment. Its Metacritic scores that range from 64 to 71, depending on the platform, would suggest it would at least have the potential to underwhelm subscribers, yet a new post on the Xbox Game Pass Reddit page -- titled 'Atlas Fallen is amazing' -- proves otherwise. 

Of course, not all the comments echo the sentiment but the number of votes up, and many of the other comments, suggest there is something to the claim.  "It normally takes a good 45 mins or so for me to get into/click with a game. Atlas Fallen was almost instant," reads one of these comments.
