Rotating in and out.

What you need to know
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate was previously only available to Xbox Insiders.

- You can get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate through the Microsoft Store (opens in new tab).
June 19, 2019: Microsoft confirmed that it's adding Resident Evil Revelations, Rare Replay, and Goat Simulator to Xbox Game Pass on consoles, and Torment: Tides of Numenera to Xbox Game Pass for PC. All of these games will be added either on June 20 or June 27.
Microsoft just added a slew of incredible games like Batman: Arkham Knight and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection to Xbox Game Pass, but more are on the horizon. According to a report by TrueAchievements, Die for Valhalla!, Dying Light, and Torment: Tides of Numenera are heading to the service.
While Die for Valhalla! is a smaller, beat 'em up experience, Dying Light and Torment: Tides of Numenera are heavy-hitters. Dying Light can be seen as the spiritual successor to Mirror's Edge because it features a similar parkour system, but instead of futuristic enemies, you have hordes of the undead.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is the spiritual successor to Planetscape: Torment and was developed by Microsoft's own inXile Entertainment. In many ways it looks like Pillars of Eternity, but features even deeper choices. You can go through the entire game without killing anyone if you choose the right class and invest in the right skills.
It's unclear when these games will be announced for Xbox Game Pass, but it'll most likely be in July. Given the fact that Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition and some other games are leaving the service in June, these titles should help fill the void the others leave behind.
Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold in one
Xbox Game Pass gives you access to over a hundred games for one monthly fee. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate also adds Xbox Live Gold to the package so you can play online with your friends. You can either get a one-month trial for $1 from the Microsoft Store or a three-month subscription for $20 through Amazon.

Numenera has excellent writing, very story heavy (text), beautiful and unique visually captivating world. The combat system is a little goofy, but it's sort of a side feature, mostly to drive plot. And it is very text heavy. But an amazing game for fans of choice driven story. Basically, you invest more in non-combat skills more than combat ones, and moral choices shape your character options too.
