At the start of the month, Microsoft as per usual dropped an influx of new titles to Xbox Game Pass. Entries such as Just Cause 4, Steep, and even Double Fine Productions’ Psychonauts. But, there is certainly more to anticipated in the coming weeks. For one, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & Xbox Game Pass for PC owners can expect Knockout City to hit the service via the EA Play perk for respected subscribers.

More interesting is the influence that the PC-oriented version of the service has affected certain games. In one report from Microsoft, the Xbox company shared that Halo: The Master Chief Collection officially exceeded 10 million players. But, that is said to be blamed for the game’s addition to Xbox Game Pass for PC. The report also spares that the new influx of users had their first experience with the franchise through Xbox Game Pass.

In a new announcement on Tuesday, Microsoft unveils more than a dozen new games coming to Xbox Game Pass across its available platforms. You can read the full list below:
