Xbox Game Pass subscribers have new reasons to be excited, as recent announcements at the Day of the Devs' The Game Awards stream brought news of upcoming games to the service.

Another attraction is Open Roads, set for release on February 22. The game focuses on Tess Devine and her mother on a road trip embarking on a quest to unravel family secrets. This adventure will not just be on Xbox, but also PlayStation, Switch, and PC. Nirvana Noir made a splash as a stylish sequel to Genesis Noir. Described as a "noir adventure beyond time and space," it challenges players to solve cosmic mysteries and will be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC via Steam.

Furthermore, Lightyear Frontier, a creative blend of mech action and farming simulation akin to a mix of Titanfall and Stardew Valley, confirmed it will enter early access by March 2024. This game extends the lineup of diverse genres on Xbox Game Pass and will also be on PC.
