Annapurna announces five more games coming to Xbox Game Pass

By Luke Albigés,

The Annapurna Showcase 2022 has brought us news of five more titles set to arrive on Xbox Game Pass in the coming year — Thirsty Suitors, Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem, Maquette, Solar Ash, and Flock.

We don't have exact dates for when any of these newly-announced Game Pass titles will join the service — or even when they might launch, for that matter — but it's good to know there's even more interesting stuff on the way from the publisher that already gifted Game Pass with gems such as Donut County, Outer Wilds, and The Artful Escape. You can see all these upcoming titles (as well as some neat behind-the-scenes footage) in the full showcase below.

Annapurna Showcase 2022 bring five more Xbox Game Pass titles

Thirsty Suitors is a quirky turn-based RPG which we know will launch straight into Xbox Game Pass, although we don't have a release date yet — with a 'coming soon' window and a playable demo on Steam, though, it's probably not too far off. Next, we got the reveal of Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem, a vibrant mecha action game scheduled for a 2023 release, again seemingly into Game Pass on day one. Then came quirky puzzle game Maquette, coming to Game Pass this winter... the game launched on PlayStation last year, so you can check out the game's trophy list to see that it should be a nice quick completion. Solar Ash is another game now set to leave its PlayStation console exclusivity behind, and also with a winter launch window (but this one is not such an easy completion). Finally, we saw the reveal of Flock, a wonderfully creative and colourful title which "lets you whizz around the uplands on the back of your trusty bird pal, gathering up a menagerie of delightful creatures and tending to your hoversheep." Sold. No release window, sadly, but we know this one is also bound for Xbox Game Pass when it does eventually soar onto the scene.

Which of these new Annapurna titles are you most looking forward to trying out when they arrive on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know!
