This Week’s Xbox Game Pass Releases: Did They Live Up to the Hype?
This week has been an exciting one for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, as the service received a slew of highly anticipated titles.

Here’s a glimpse at what some of our readers had to say:
- Somnambulance: “Sort of a middling bunch, even though they’re high profile, if I’m being honest. That’s just my opinion though.”
- Rustyduck: “I say it’s good, but nothing for me. I’m still going to cancel Game Pass when it expires. I just don’t like the direction Xbox is headed.”
- Jonnybekeww: “Payday 3 hasn’t worked since it came out.”
- AlwaysPlaying: “The diversity this month is fantastic, but I’m not interested in multiplayer, so Lies of P is the only one I will be installing.”
- Awp69: “Lies of P is fantastic and deserves all the praise it’s been getting in reviews. So awesome to have another great AAA release day one that also launched largely bug-free. Sounds like the Payday 3 launch was a disaster though as far as servers.”
- StylesT: “Haven’t tried Lies of P yet. Enjoying Party Animals. Did try to give Payday a go, but matchmaking was not working.”
- Kaloudz: “It’s been a killer month!”
