Add Core Keeper as another day-one game for Xbox Game Pass. Developer Pugstorm has revealed that the mining sandbox adventure game will be a part of the subscription service on Xbox Series X|S and PC when it launches August 27.
Xbox Wire revealed the upcoming addition to Game Pass, as Core Keeper is playable for solo adventurers or up to 8 players in online co-op. The game features base-building, crafting, farming, fishing, and bosses to battle called Titans.
Core Keeper has been in Steam Early Access for a couple of years now. The 1.0 update–featuring customizable world generation and a new biome–will see the title also arriving on PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One next month. However, keep in mind that Game Pass is only promising the Xbox Series X|S console edition currently, not Xbox One.
Yesterday, Microsoft brought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III to Xbox Game Pass, marking the first time the FPS franchise has appeared on the service. It joined five other games that have recently arrived on Game Pass in July, such as Flock and Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn.
This month has also seen Microsoft increase the price of Game Pass as well as create a new tier for the service. Xbox Game Pass Standard will take over for the soon-to-be discontinued Game Pass for Console. One big difference, however, is Standard won’t feature day-one releases like Core Keeper. Here’s an explainer on how the new tiers of Game Pass work.
