Xbox Game Pass Subscribers Just Got 3 Day-One Games at the Same Time
Flintlock, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Kunitsu-Gami are all hitting Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers have been surprised with the addition of three day-one releases to the platform at a single time. Generally speaking, day-one additions to Game Pass are somewhat common. On a monthly basis, there's typically at least one or two new titles that join Xbox Game Pass at the same time they release globally. Despite this, the cards have now lined up to where Game Pass members are seeing an injection of three titles at a single time that fit into this category, which pretty much never happens.
As of today, Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn and Dungeons of Hinterberg have both been brought to all versions of Xbox Game Pass across consoles, PC, and cloud. These games will be joined by Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, which is a new title from Capcom that is planned to launch tomorrow, July 19. Once this release takes place, it will mean that all three day-one titles will have hit Game Pass in a single 24-hour period and will provide the service with an injection of new games in the doldrums of summer.
While it's great to see so many day-one releases on Xbox Game Pass at the same time, the bigger thing that subscribers are looking for is quality. Fortunately, all three of these games seem to be worth checking out. At the time of this writing, Flintlock has been met with a "Mostly Positive" rating on Steam from those who have played it so far. Dungeons of Hinterberg has then seen an impressive 83/100 aggregate score on Metacritic with Kunitsu-Gami boasting a solid 79/100. As a result, all of these games seem worth downloading and giving a spin to see if they line up with your own interests.
