Alright, here’s the revamped article:

So, Xbox decided it’s that time again — you know, when they hit us with new games on Xbox Game Pass. And get this, one of them just rolled out like, right now.
We’ve got Rain World in the house! This quirky little indie number by Videocult, which dropped back in 2017, has slipped its way onto Game Pass for Cloud, Console, and PC. Imagine being a “nomadic slugcat.” Yeah, I know, sounds odd. This little critter is doing the survival dance in an ecosystem that’s more messed up than my Saturday morning grocery list. Spears are the weapon of choice here, mostly to fend off bigger beasts with an appetite for slugcat. Eat or be eaten, right?
Now, don’t go thinking that’s it for this month. Nope. There’s more coming. Sort of like a second helping at a buffet when you promised yourself a single plate. Games like Assassin’s Creed: Mirage and Aliens: Fireteam Elite are dropping soon. Here’s a messy lineup for ya, happening in August:
– Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector (Console) – August 6
– Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders (Console) – August 6
– MechWarrior 5: Clans (Console) – August 6
– Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap (Console) – August 6
– Assassin’s Creed Mirage (Cloud, Console, PC) – August 7
– Aliens: Fireteam Elite (Cloud, Console, PC) – August 12
– 9 Kings (Game Preview, PC) – August 14
There’s more! Microsoft, our benefactor of digital delights, also lets us fiddle around with two game previews: Descenders Next and He Is Coming — available on various platforms if that was a question.
Oh, and the deal isn’t over yet. Expect even more additions to this digital buffet later in August. Why do they do it in two waves? Beats me—keeps us on our toes, I guess. Or maybe they like to mess with my scheduling. Who knows?
