Remnant: From The Ashes and Remnant 2 receive surprise Xbox Game Pass releases

Remnant: From The Ashes and its sequel, Remnant 2, have been made available on Game Pass for console, PC and Cloud.

The games, which are often described as Souls-like shooters, were made available on Microsoft‘s subscription service with no prior announcement.

Developed by Gunfire Games and published by Gearbox, Remnant 2 was released this summer. It received high praise from players and critics and was also a commercial success, dethroning Diablo 4 as July’s top-selling game in the US.

Neither title was mentioned when Microsoft announced planned Game Pass releases for the second half of November, which included Persona 5 Tactica, Dune: Spice Wars and Rollerdome.

Dune: Spice Wars was already available on Xbox Game Pass for PC, however, the console release was added to the service on launch. Persona 5 Tactica was made available across all Game Pass platforms on launch day.
