What you need to know

  • Wasteland 3 is the long-awaited continuation of the Wasteland franchise, from inXile Entertainment.
  • Now a part of the Xbox Game Studios family, inXile is debuting Wasteland 3 on Xbox Game Pass.

Wasteland 3 makes its entrance in the competitive gaming world on August 28, and is coming to Xbox Game Pass day one for both PC and console, as inXile Entertainment recently became a part of the Xbox Game Studios family. From our very own Jez Corden's early preview, Wasteland 3 "is instantly engrossing, with the same RPG depth of its predecessors, complete with visual upgrades and all the freedoms you'll expect of a modern CRPG."

Ahead of its full release into Xbox Game Pass on August 28, Wasteland 3 is releasing a new trailer that shows off some co-op gameplay, getting players psyched for everything the game offers. Wasteland 3 is looking to be a fantastic evolution of its predecessors, with modernized visuals and mechanical upgrades of a modern title with the classic gameplay players have been clamoring for. And its story is apparently standalone, so knowledge of previous titles isn't necessary to jump in and enjoy Wasteland 3.
