One of the highlights this month is the addition of Cyberpunk 2077 to Xbox Game Pass, which will allow a select number of players to gain free access to one of the best RPGs of this decade. This is, of course, just the first wave of the new titles being added to the catalog in March. Before looking toward the next releases, however, you should pay some attention to a new day-one release that has just arrived.
Xbox’s Latest Game Pass Freebie Is A Hit
Planet Of Lana 2 Has Received Great Reviews
The day-one release of Planet of Lana 2 on Xbox Game Pass is already a hit, even if it will gather more reviews over time. On Metacritic, the sequel called Children of the Leaf boasts an 82 Metascore from critics in its PlayStation 5 version, an 80 Metascore in its Xbox Series X/S version, and an 81 Metascore for PC. This proves that the game has been well-evaluated by critics so far.
However, it remains to receive evaluations from players on the platform. As players finish the game and submit their reviews, the game will receive a new user score on Metacritic. Even though this has yet to be determined, the new free Xbox Game Pass title is deserving of your attention, as the original game released in 2023 was already pretty great, and the sequel is expected to expand on its strengths.
Planet Of Lana 2 Is Available Today
The Game Is A Day-One Release On Xbox Game Pass
Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf is now available for Xbox Game Pass members who are subscribed to either the Ultimate or the PC Game Pass tiers. As a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass, access to it is limited to these two tiers, meaning that Essential and Premium members will not be able to play it as part of the service unless they upgrade their membership.
If you’ve been looking for ways of putting your subscription to good use, especially if you’ve already checked out the bigger AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Planet of Lana: Children of the Leaf is a great option. It’s one of the many day-one releases expected to hit Xbox Game Pass this year, and it’s one of the great ones.
