As usual, a couple of games are leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of the month. If you want to keep playing these games, you’ll need to purchase them. Buying a game while it’s still in the service will net a 20% discount, so it’s always better to buy something before it leaves rather than after. Here’s the games that are leaving on March 31:
Analysis: A great month, new and old
There’s a fair bit of variety this time around! If anyone hasn’t played The Quarry yet, I highly recommend readingour reviewand then checking it out. My friend and former colleague Miles Dompier wrote that “The Quarry elevates the blueprint popularized by previous titles like Until Dawn while showcasing gorgeous visuals, fantastic character performances, and an engaging overarching narrative. This is a well-crafted modern love letter to classic campy horror.”
Elsewhere, Diablo 4’s arrival will be perfect for anyone that’s held off on playing until now, and hopefully we won’t be waiting too much longer to see further Activision Blizzard games added to the library. I’m also particularly keen on checking out the upcoming Open Roads, which is a narrative-driven adventure being published by Annapurna Interactive.
