Welcome to a new week, and a particularly busy one for Xbox Game Pass! We’ve got seven games arriving over five days as things stand, so to prevent them getting lost in the shuffle, we thought we’d provide you with a quick roundup.
The week is kicking off with Ascend to Zero on Monday, which has been getting some great reviews over the past few days. The time-bending action-roguelike currently has an 83 average rating on Metacritic.
Noisy Pixel: “Ascend to ZERO transforms a simple countdown timer into one of the most engaging mechanics in the roguelike genre. Fast progression, satisfying build variety, and clever time-stop abilities create an approachable yet addictive action experience, even if its generous power scaling softens the challenge in later runs.”
Beyond that, we’ve got the surprisingly great PBA Pro Bowling 2026 on Tuesday, highly-anticipated new release Denshattack! along with Quarantine Zone: The Last Check on Wednesday, downhill biking game MAVRIX on Thursday, and then chaotic co-op extraction platformer FixForce along with the PC-only Fogpiercer on Friday.
Let’s take a look at all of these in more detail, shall we? You’ll find trailers and information on each game below.
