Xbox Game Pass March Additions

A few days into March, Xbox is letting us know what to expect on the Xbox Game Pass for the new month. Here’s what to expect in the coming weeks from what I consider to be one of the best deals in gaming.

NBA 2K20

If you’re a regular reader here at PG, then you know how much I love the NBA2K series. 2K20 is a hugely successful game in the series and I think more people would like a basketball game, despite not watching the sport, than you’d think. The controls are easy to learn but hard to master. With the ability to make trades as a GM, hit the court in Career Mode, and play with the top NBA and WNBA athletes, the game is easily my most played title of the past 8 months.

Train Sim World 2020

The brand-new Train Sim World 2020 Edition answers the question, would people want to know everything that goes into running a train? Well, the sim is a great way to get to know the intricacies of the most undervalued form of travel and delivery in the world. I think these games are often niche, but for free on Xbox Game Pass, why not give it a go?

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

A day-one release available on Xbox Game Pass! Ori debuted as an incredibly emotional platformer a few years back. Now, you can play the sequel for free with Xbox Game Pass the day it releases. The game later came to the Switch, but before then, the original was one of the best Xbox One exclusives we saw this generation. To be honest, that’s not saying much, but it’s still a great game. The sequel should be just as great, if not greater.

Pikuniku

Pikuniku is an absurdly wonderful puzzle-exploration game that takes place in a strange but playful world where not everything is as happy as it seems. The characters in this game are quite playful, and for those who like using their heads a little while gaming, this seems like a fun addition.
