Gunfire Games’s Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant II surprise dropped on Game Pass. The Soulslike third-person shooter RPGs see players traveling across parallel universes to save humanity from an interdimensional evil called the Root. The second game’s first DLC, Awakened Kin, launched in September.

Remnant and Remnant II surprise drop on Game Pass

The Remnant games arrived on Game Pass with absolutely zero fanfare. None of Xbox, Gunfire Games, nor publisher Gearbox Software made any official announcement about the game’s arrival on the subscription service. This has led some to speculate that Game Pass might have launched the games prematurely before the official announcement. Perhaps, as Windows Central suggested, the studios involved were waiting for the Game Awards next week. Either way, the games are available now for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.

Some describe the Remnant series as combining Dark Souls, Fallout, and Gears of War. Both Remnant games saw a mixed but positive reception, with critics praising their combat, environments, and boss design. While From the Ashes suffered from some technical issues, its sequel avoided most of those problems. The first game has a Metacritic score of 77 on PS4, 78 on PC, and 81 on Xbox One. Meanwhile, Remnant II has more evenly distributed scores of 80 on PS5 and PC and 85 on Xbox Series X.

Regardless of the somewhat unusual circumstances around the game’s arrival on the platform, this is a good deal for Game Pass subscribers. The first game normally retails for $39.99, with Remnant II selling for $49.99, for a total of about $89.98.
