Xbox Game Pass Free Game Is The Stranger Things RPG We Always Wanted

by

Xbox Game Pass is getting a new free game – a role-playing game inspired by Stranger Things, though it doesn’t take place in that universe. Microsoft’s subscription service is having a packed month with lots of new games and a few leaving. A highly anticipated game will be available to play on Game Pass starting May 28th, continuing the strong momentum from the recent launch of Forza Horizon 6.

Looking ahead, Xbox Game Pass will soon add a highly anticipated game. Final Fantasy 6 is one of the first titles coming in June, and many fans consider it the best game in the series, especially among the classic pixel-art versions. But before June, there’s another new game you’ll want to watch out for.

Echo Generation 2 Has Strong Stranger Things Vibes

On May 27th, Echo Generation 2 will be added to Xbox Game Pass as part of the May Wave 2 releases. Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members will have immediate access to the game on day one. This new sci-fi RPG combines deckbuilding with adventure elements and is playable on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and through Cloud Gaming.

This game feels a lot like Stranger Things, drawing heavily from 1980s sci-fi and blending it with supernatural creatures and a hint of horror to create real tension. You’ll lead a team of young heroes, create powerful decks, and battle cosmic dangers as you uncover the secrets of the universe. It’s shaping up to be a very unique RPG on Xbox Game Pass, so it’s definitely worth checking out.

The First Echo Generation Is Highly Underrated

Considering how good the first game is, the upcoming sequel promises to be fantastic. Our review of Echo Generation, the original, gave it an 8 out of 10, describing it as a “thrilling and engaging ride.” We especially liked its story, characters, and gameplay. Players on Steam overwhelmingly agree, with a 92% positive rating.

While Echo Generation 2 plays quite differently from the original, these changes could be a good thing. If you’re interested in seeing Cococucumber try out new ideas, it’s worth a look! Don’t forget to add this day-one RPG on Xbox Game Pass to your calendar.
