Xbox Game Pass Adds High-Stakes Open-World Adventure
This week, Microsoft is adding just one new game to Xbox Game Pass, but it’s a true AAA title: Watch Dogs: Legion. The third installment in the open-world action-adventure series, following Watch Dogs and Watch Dogs 2, revolves around hacking, surveillance, and digital control. Set in a dystopian near-future London, Legion depicts a city under the grip of a totalitarian surveillance regime.
- The inclusion of Watch Dogs: Legion on Xbox Game Pass could be seen as a strategic move by Microsoft to bolster its gaming platform with high-profile titles, but it also raises questions about the long-term viability of offering AAA games through a subscription service.
- Will the ability to play a game like Watch Dogs: Legion for free, without the need for a one-time purchase, change the way players approach their gaming habits and expectations?
