Exciting Addition to Xbox Game Pass Lineup in 2024
Xbox Game Pass announces a new day-one game for 2024, hailing from a renowned Polish developer known for their award-winning titles. Get ready for another thrilling addition to the Xbox Game Pass library!
Xbox Game Pass has announced that The Alters will be available on day one in 2024. The game is the next project from the well-known developer 11 Bit Studios. While an official release date has not been set, the Polish company has confirmed that it will be launched on PC, consoles, and Xbox Game Pass later this year.
11 Bit Studios is most famous for their critically acclaimed survival strategy game This War of Mine, which was first released in 2014. This War of Mine has won over 100 awards, including prestigious accolades like Best of PAX. Although the developer's other titles have not received as many awards, their city-building survival game Frostpunk, released in 2018, did receive multiple award nominations and won Best Visual Design at the Australian Game Awards 2018.
The Alters is set to release on Xbox Game Pass on day one.
The upcoming title, The Alters, is set to be released in 2024 for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. 11 Bit Studios has not announced a specific release date for the game yet.
This will be the fifth game from 11 Bit Studios to be included in Xbox Game Pass since its launch in 2017. It will also be the first game from the company to be added to the subscription service on its release day. Previous 11 Bit Studios titles have had long stays on Xbox Game Pass, with only one game leaving the service after two and a half years. This suggests that Xbox Game Pass members will have ample time to enjoy playing The Alters once it is added to Microsoft's game library.
