Summary
Atlas Fallenis on its way toXbox Game Pass, a prominent Microsoft insider has said. This purported release would further strengthen the selection of big-budget open-world RPGs onXbox Game Pass.
Developed by German studio Deck13,Atlas Fallenis a post-apocalyptic action role-playing game that tasks players with liberating what’s left of humanity from the tyranny of a not-so-benevolent deity.Atlas Fallenreceived mixed reviewsat launch, with many critics praising its melee combat, responsive controls, and art direction, but also bemoaning its repetitive quests and lack of meaningful exploration rewards. The game consequently ended up with a 68 aggregate score on OpenCritic, as well as a meager 35% reviewer recommendation rate. Its player impressions are consistent with those ratings, asAtlas Fallenpresently has just over 1,350 “Mixed” user reviews on Steam.
While that’s not exactly a glowing endorsement, it also makes the RPGa great fit for Xbox Game Pass, which could allow it to reach a wider audience that might otherwise have second thoughts about buying it at full price. As it so happens,Atlas Fallenis allegedly indeed on its way to Microsoft’s subscription service, according to Spanish YouTuber and long-time leaker eXtas1s. Taking to Twitter on July 9, the insider reported that the 2023 open-world RPG will be added to the XGP library “soon,” without elaborating on the matter.
Atlas Fallen May Reach Xbox Game Pass by August 2024
As for what “soon” might mean in this context, eXtas1s most commonly leaks new XGP releases roughly a month in advance. E.g., the insider correctly predicted thatTchiaandNickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2would be coming to Xbox Game Passback in early June, which Microsoft then confirmed a month later. Prior to that, eXtas1s leaked the arrivals of theOctopath Travelerseries,Lords of the Fallen, andSoul Hackers 2to the service, among other titles.Atlas Fallen’s purported Xbox Game Pass release would ostensibly only be available to PC and Xbox Series X/S users, as the RPG never made its way to the Xbox One.
The claim thatAtlas Fallenis coming to Microsoft’s subscription catalog raises the number of eXtas1s’s pending predictions up to two. Namely, the leaker just recentlyclaimedCrash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogyis also on its way to Xbox Game Pass, adding that the critically acclaimed remake collection will be added to the service in August 2024.
Although the YouTuber has so far proven to be extremely reliable when it comes to leaking the contents of new XGP expansions, his predictions regarding the timing of those releases can sometimes be slightly off. E.g., the aforementionedTchialeak originally claimed that the game was coming in June, but Microsoft ended up announcing it for July 2024.
