Game News Xbox: The new Game Pass to share
Published on 08/29/2022 at 18:45
It’s the August 29 daily and on the program, we’re going to talk regarding the Resident Evil series which has been canceled by Netflix, then we move on to Xbox Game Pass which is testing its family offer and we end with rumors around a next one Need for Speed game. The daily, here we go!
A family offer for the Xbox Game Pass
Today, Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s subscription service that provides regular access to a catalog of games, has become an essential component of the video game landscape. While the Xbox Game Pass seems to be in great shape, Microsoft announced at the beginning of August that a new formula for its Ultimate version was going to be tested in Ireland and Colombia. This will allow you to share your subscription with several users. However, you have to meet a few conditions to be able to take advantage of it. If it is not mandatory to be part of the Insider Preview program as explained in the autoplay video, you still have to live in the same country as the subscription holder. The Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family would potentially cost $25, for four accesses, which would be a very advantageous price.
The end for Resident Evil
For several years, Netflix has become accustomed to adapting many video game licenses into series or film. Among the last licenses to have been entitled to this kind of adaptation, we find the cult saga Resident Evil. Broadcast for the first time in July, the show spans two periods, in 2022 and 2036, in which we follow the adventures of Jade Wesker, the daughter of the famous Albert Wesker. During its airing, the Resident Evil series divided audiences greatly, receiving rather low critical ratings on many sites. A failure that caused the cancellation of a possible season 2 by Netflix, only a month and a half following the broadcast.
La série Need for Speed
There’s been a lot of talk regarding racing games lately. At the end of 2021, we were treated to Forza Horizon 5 and at the start of 2022, it was Gran Turismo 7’s turn to be well received by critics. Now that the news around this kind of games is calmer, Need for Speed takes the opportunity to show the tip of its nose, in particular with a very short sequence of gameplay having leaked on Reddit. It shows a car crashing following trying to jump through a circular structure. A short sequence not very interesting, but which reflects a great return to the franchise. Even if the game has not yet been officially announced, we learn through Giant Bomb journalists that the title is currently taking place in the city of Lake Shore City. Originally scheduled for November 2022, Need for Speed is being postponed to December so that the teams can refine it.
