Absolutely, Atomfall is making its debut on Xbox Game Pass! Gamers both on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC can gear up for its launch on Game Pass. It’s an exciting addition not only to the Xbox Game Pass but also to PC Game Pass, broadening its reach to a wide range of players across both platforms.
Rebellion, the developer, is no stranger to Xbox Game Pass, having previously launched hits like Sniper Elite 5 and Sniper Elite: Resistance through the service. With Atomfall joining their lineup, this marks Rebellion’s fourth appearance on Game Pass, and if their track record is anything to go by, we could be in for something special.
Sniper Elite 5 and Sniper Elite: Resistance did really well on Game Pass, adding to the anticipation surrounding Atomfall’s potential success. This is Rebellion’s first new intellectual property since Strange Brigade, which admittedly didn’t quite capture the audience’s attention as expected. However, preview events over the past year reveal Atomfall to be quite promising and it’s generating quite a buzz among fans.
Now, you might be wondering about Atomfall’s tenure on Game Pass. At the moment, there’s no definite timeline on how long Atomfall will stay on the service. Historically, games like Sniper Elite have eventually rotated out after about a year or so. Still, don’t fret – even if it does leave, there’s always a possibility it might make a return. Many titles have cycled back into the Game Pass library, so it’s not always a goodbye for good.
For those looking to enjoy Atomfall across different platforms through Game Pass, it’s important to note that it won’t offer cross-platform play, largely because Atomfall is strictly a single-player experience. There’s no multiplayer mode to speak of, so players can immerse themselves fully in its solo adventures.
On a brighter note, Atomfall does support cross-save functionality between Xbox and Windows PC! This means you can switch between platforms seamlessly, provided you’re using the Xbox PC app and ensure your progress is saved to the cloud. Just make a mental note: let the save complete before buzzing over to another platform to avoid any loss of progress – speaking from personal mishaps here!
Cross-save capabilities are becoming more commonplace among Game Pass titles. For instance, we’ve seen games like Avowed embrace this feature across Game Pass platforms, Steam, and other services, making it a convenient perk for players.
If you’re keen to try Atomfall through Game Pass, there’s no better time! However, if you’d like to own a permanent copy, pre-orders are open. And as an enticing bonus, the Steam version is available at a discount via CDKeys. Whether you play it through Game Pass or purchase it, Atomfall is set to reach a broad audience, much like its Sniper Elite predecessors.
