Xbox Game Pass Ultimate's Latest Addition Is Going Down Pretty Well So Far

This week, Microsoft brought yet another day one release to Xbox Game Pass in the form of 33 Immortals - and despite the game's early access nature right now, it seems to be going down pretty well with players so far.

Over on the Microsoft Store, the game has a 3.5 star rating in Xbox Game Preview at the moment, with around 50% of those reviews being a full five stars. Folks seem impressed with the game's combat, and how the team at Thunder Lotus Games has managed to balance and optimise the experience with over 30 players per-game.

Some users have noted the title's difficulty as a potential sticking point, mind, but it sounds like if you're ready for that challenge, 33 Immortals could definitely be worth trying on Game Pass. Xbox Wire, GamesRadar and Xbox influencer Klobrille have also touched on how much they're enjoying the game so far.

Xbox Wire

"Just a short time with 33 Immortals revealed a surprising amount of depth for what could first appear to be a simple action-roguelike. And there’s so much more for me to see: What’s the Ascension Battle like? How hard is it to face down Lucifer? How much more difficult will the second world, Purgatorio, be compared with Inferno? How badass can I make my weapons? What’s it like to run around hell with a beagle by your side?"

GamesRadar

"The first two hours have certainly made me want more, and knowing now how the gameplay loop works, the prospect of exploiting its possibilities to maximize my chances against Lucifer is very enticing. But that said, be warned: it seems it's only fun when the people around you know what they're doing too, otherwise you'll be left high and dry with hordes of abominations engulfing you. Still, it's early days so there's every reason to expect the enjoyment to ramp up as the character levels and weeks tick by and people learn how to play it."

Of course, that overall store rating suggests that some players aren't enjoying 33 Immortals quite as much as others - but the vast majority of users who've actually tried the game seem to be enjoying it right now. It's certainly tempting us into giving it a go!

The good news there is that, as we said right at the top, 33 Immortals is in the Game Pass Ultimate library across Xbox Series X|S and PC - and we're intrigued to see where this one goes as it develops through Xbox Game Preview.
