Six Games Announced For Xbox Game Pass At Tokyo Game Show 2024

The Tokyo Game Show has been a great place for Xbox Game Pass reveals over the last few years, and today's Xbox event was no exception with six titles announced for the service - four of which are available to play TODAY!

You could say the highlights here are the Square Enix games, but it seems like they're all great additions to Xbox Game Pass - and that includes the two PC exclusives in the form of Starcraft Remastered and Starcraft 2.

So, let's take a look at all the new Xbox Game Pass announcements from the Tokyo Game Show 2024:

Starcraft Remastered & Starcraft 2 For PC (November 5)

"Greetings, commanders! We’re so excited that Game Pass members will soon be joining us in the Korpulu Sector. While the entirety of the original StarCraft and StarCraft II’s multiplayer components are free-to-play, we’re delighted to say that StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft II: Campaign Collection will be available to anyone with a PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate subscription from November 5."

We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie (Today!)

"The second title in the Katamari Damacy series has returned in a remastered, powered-up version! This new REROLL comes with improved graphics and gameplay enhancements. In Royal Reverie, roll up katamari as the King of All Cosmos in his boyhood!"

All You Need Is Help (Today!)

"Take control of adorable, fluffy, cube-shaped creatures. Each one has a unique shape, and you'll need to work together to solve puzzles. Just watch out for obstacles! Gather family, friends or enemies to play locally or online. The simple but addictive gameplay makes it perfect for parties or to vibe with friends. Cross platform is supported across all platforms, so you can play with all your friends!"

Legend Of Mana (Today!)

"Meet a colorful cast of characters, square off against fearsome monsters, and explore the vast world of Fa’Diel in this HD remaster of the beloved classic."

Trials Of Mana (Today!)

"Experience the adventure - fully modernized with graphic improvements, character voiceover support, a remastered soundtrack and a new episode which you can experience after the ending, in addition to an ability system and a new class that reconstructs the character levelling system plus more active battles!"

Which of these are you most excited to play? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Ok cool trials of mana is still on my pick up list. Will play on gamepass until I snag it for switch.

Speaking of Game Pass drops, has there been any ideas or rumours about F1 Manager 2024 dropping at all soon?

As 23 randomly appeared (much to my happiness as I was coming close to paying for it) last year, it's made me wonder if 2024 will follow but I haven't seen any news or rumours to suggest so yet.

I would have thought doing it one year would make the next likely?

Trials of Mana is so good. People talk about how Animal Crossing was the game that got them through the early days of the pandemic, but for me it was Trials of Mana. (Not that I didn’t play copious amounts of Animal Crossing too.)

I love Katamari. I own both remasters on Switch but will probably play them here, too, because they are fun. So very fun

If I've never played a Mana game, is one of these better to start?

Yeah I was wondering where all these games came from when I looked at recently added titles. These all look fun. I may try WoM where as my wife is pumped for more Katamari.

@RentedPanda Trials is a fantastic game to get into the series on. It's expanding and experimenting with Secret of Mana's gameplay, but still faithful enough to see where the series came from and the direction it's going. The remake makes it even better.

Legends of Mana is a great game, and one of my favorites for the PSX, but it's very experimental and you need a guide to get the best ending. However, it's great fun to just mess around in, if you're not too focused on getting the single best ending, with its item creation, pet keeping, and Golem making systems.
