Inside is all about its haunting mood and visuals, making it an experience you can’t quite explain without giving it away. It pulls at your curiosity enough that you’ll keep ambling forward, through the horrors, until you finally see the credits. It’s scary, but beautiful - like the lure of an angler fish. You’ll explore, platform, and puzzle-solve your way through a variety of areas, and most likely meet a swift and unexpected death a few times along the way. In Inside, you play as a small boy in a red shirt investigating a giant factory/secret lab. Whereas Limbo - the studio’s first game - showcased the dangers of nature, Inside is all about the horror humans can inflict upon one another. Inside is the second of Playdead’s minimalist side-scrollers. Immortality is available via Game Pass on Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. If you love mysteries, old movies, horror, and the filmmaking process, then Game Pass is the perfect place to check out Immortality for yourself. Immortality is a surprising journey, with twists and turns that are best discovered on your own. Similar to Her Story before it, you’ll need to use these old clips to unravel the mystery of what happened to Marcel over the course of her career. The game is awash with old technology and film, which you’ll use to explore videos from Marcel’s movies, interviews, and even behind-the-scenes footage and clapperboard shots. It follows the disappearance of fictional actress Marissa Marcel, who starred in several films from the late ’60s to the late ’90s, none of which were ever released. Immortality is the third full-motion video game from writer and director Sam Barlow.

With the sheer size and the bounty of choice it offers, Game Pass can be a bit overwhelming to digest. Past first-party day-and-date releases and Xbox Studios games, Game Pass offers some of the best third-party and indie games out there, including titles like Immortality and Mass Effect Legendary Edition. And many expect similar moves to come for games like Overwatch, Diablo 3, and maybe even World of Warcraft, with Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard still churning in the background. Microsoft’s Bethesda acquisition saw great titles like Skyrim and Fallout 3 come to Game Pass. And the service is always evolving, adding new games each month, with many of the titles available across multiple Xbox consoles and PC through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. From new titles like Nobody Saves the World to legacy juggernauts like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, it’s still the easiest way to keep up with gaming without breaking the bank. Over halfway through 2022, Xbox’s Game Pass service is having another strong year.
