Exciting news for fans of action RPGs as "Remnant: From the Ashes" and its sequel "Remnant II" drop onto Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass with no prior announcement. These titles, often described as "Dark Souls with guns," have been well received among the gaming community, with "Remnant II" selling over one million copies in its first week. It even surpassed "Diablo 4" as the best-selling game in the US for July.

Critics have praised "Remnant II," and it received a 9/10 review for reimagining the soulslike genre and successfully executing the co-op looter-shooter experience. The arrival of "Remnant II" on Game Pass follows the launch of its first DLC, "The Awakened King," and players can look forward to two more DLC add-ons scheduled for release in 2024.

This addition to Game Pass enriches the platform's library and provides an excellent opportunity for both seasoned players and newcomers to experience the unique blend of intense combat and strategic gameplay that the "Remnant" series offers. The games are now readily available for download on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC for Game Pass subscribers.
