One of the great things about The Ascent is that it can be played both locally and online. You and up to three other friends can hop into the game and journey through the neon-lit streets of Veles. But even without this multiplayer functionality, The Ascent is a phenomenal game. It’s a better cyberpunk-themed game than Cyberpunk 2077.

Following its release on PC on Steam Early Access in 2024, Ubisoft's The Rogue Prince of Persia is releasing today on console, including through Xbox Game Pass.

Microsoft has announced Wave 2 of the Xbox Game Pass August 2025 lineup, which includes Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Gears of War: Reloaded, Persona 4 Golden, and more.
