We've got a big end to the month coming up for Xbox Game Pass with various day one launches on Xbox Game Pass, and one of those is action-shooter RPG, The Ascent, which can now be pre-downloaded ahead of its July 29 release.
To download it, you simply need to navigate to the Xbox Game Pass app and find The Ascent, or search for it manually on the Microsoft Store. It's clocking in at around 17GB on Xbox Series X, and a much larger 28GB on PC.
If you haven't heard of it, here's how Neon Giant summed up The Ascent in our recent interview:
"The Ascent is an action-shooter RPG that you can play via single player or up to four players online or offline, taking you through a cyberpunk/sci-fi adventure set in a giant Arcology on a distant planet named Veles.
You can expect high octane combat mixed with strategic elements such as cover mechanics working hand-in-hand with the RPG layer, letting you create your own play-style, explore the world, and drive the story forward with the help of the characters you encounter along the way."
Will you be pre-downloading The Ascent with Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down in the comments below.

I also noticed that Hades was also available to be fully installed on the internal (8gb). I had brief hopes it was playable, but no.
@orionreplay hades was/is alot of fun. Ive got it on switch...but havent finished it yet. I coulda sworn i already predownloaded the ascent a few weeks ago...that and back 4 blood.
@orionreplay that weirdly enough was the only e3 game I was able to fully pre download.
Any word on when we will be able to pre-download flight sim?
Both this and Flight Simulator drop just before my birthday...nice 👍
@Krinkle_Kaptain - Sometimes a game is available for pre-download but is only a few hundred Mb's - it's more just an instruction to download the actual game when it's available so that's likely what is on your console for last few weeks
For example, I have Psychonauts 2 pre-downloaded but it's only taking up around 200mb in storage and when the actual game is available to download (maybe a week before release) - it'll then download the full thing and be playable on day of release of course
Ah okay cool cool. Does it also partition the space on the hard drive so tht when it does become available, their wont be any issues with space?
