Microsoft revealed 13 games coming to its services, but 4 were already playable through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Among these is Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which will be included with the Premium plan soon. Plus, 3 games previously exclusive to higher-priced tiers are now being added to the Essential plan.
The studio’s CEO, Hakan Abrak, addressed this issue in an interview with Variety. He said:
I just saw a post from Gad on Instagram that has me incredibly excited! He shared a picture – it looks like the control panel from a spaceship, complete with a lever for ‘Ludicrous Speed’ – and announced he’s finally finished his passion project. Apparently, this has been years in the making, and the best part? He got to collaborate with the legendary Mel Brooks, who directed and wrote the original back in ’87! Talk about a dream come true – and a promising sign for what’s to come.
Winning feels great – that’s why we keep playing, working to improve, and practicing. But focusing only on winning might actually hold you back from becoming as good as you could be.

Square Enix had previously shared the expected resolution and frame rates for Octopath Traveler 0 on various consoles and PC. At the time, it wasn’t clear if those targets applied to both docked and handheld modes on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. Now, after playing the complete game on most platforms, I’ve been pleased with some versions and underwhelmed by others.
Octopath Traveler 0 breaks from the original’s format. Instead of playing through eight individual character stories, you create your own character who assists the main heroes as they experience the events unfolding in Orsterra. The game’s structure is vastly different: while you can choose which storylines to follow and in what order at first, the main story quickly becomes linear. Branching paths act as extended introductions to larger, self-contained arcs that feel like separate games, each with its own ending credits.
