We’re only in January but I feel comfortable saying that we’ve already seen the strangest game of 2024. Luckily, if you have aGame Passsubscription, you can give it a go risk-free.
Palworldhas been confirmed to launch on Game Pass for both PC andXbox(and Steam) when it releases (in early-access) on January 19th. but what makes it so unusual? Well the phrase “Pokémon with guns” should never be used lightly, but that’s exactly what developer Pocketpair seems to have made.
In fairness, with a blend of monster rangling, crafting and survival elements, it reminds me more of something like Ark:Survival Evolved, which just so happens to be one of my favourite titles. Similar to a game like Ark, players in Palworld will feature open world multiplayer survival with up to 32 players in each instance, but can also be played offline too.
Don’t get me wrong, I love thePokémonseries, but it’s definitely a more iterative series,Palworldhowever is a massive shake up of the monster-catching formula, and it looks like a riot. As well as fighting enemies with Pals, the trailer shows players exploring the large open world using the critters as mounts and even flying on the back of something that looks a bit like a Charizard.
Of course Xbox game pass is home to some of the biggest names in gaming likeHalo, ForzaandStarfield, but seeing less well-known titles likePalworldget a shot at grabbing a huge audience’s attention is what the service is all about. Without Game Pass, superb titles likeHi-Fi Rushmight never have gotten the love they deserve. If you are after a more traiditonal monster-cartching experience of Game Pass, check out the excellentCassette Beasts.
