20XX, Shining Resonance: Refrain, Earthfall, more coming to Xbox Store this week

If you’ve already seen this week’s PlayStation Store update, you’ll also have a pretty good idea of what’s newly available through the Xbox Games Store this week…

Batterystaple Games will start things off for the Xbox One this week with 20XX, their Mega Man-inspired roguelike. Also available this week for the Xbox One is Sega’s Shining Resonance: Refrain, a remaster of an action RPG that was originally released only in Japan in 2014.

Elsewhere on the Xbox Store this week, Xbox One owners will be able to do battle with their friends online in Defiance 2050, The Culling 2, and Earthfall, a trio of new online shooters. But for players who’d prefer to work together, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 includes four-player co-op set within Warhammer’s “Fantasy Battles” world.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
