A big batch of new Xbox One games will be available to download through the Xbox Games Store this week…
EA Sports will kick off another soccer season this week with FIFA 19, their latest simulation of the sport that everybody else calls futbol. Also available to download this week is the first episode of Dontnod’s Life Is Strange 2, a new narrative adventure that takes the story beyond Acadia Bay.
For Xbox One owners looking to play something new today, a few publishers have responded with some big games. Team Cherry will release Hollow Knight for the Xbox One after its successful launch on the PC and Switch, and Sega has given strategy RPG fans something to look forward to with the next Valkyria game, Valkyria Chronicles 4. Crytek’s free-to-play online shooter, Warface, has also made its Xbox One debut.
On Friday, Frictional Games will bring the terrifying Amnesia Collection (a bundle containing The Dark Descent, A Machine For Pigs, and Justine) to the Xbox One for the first time.
And finally, Microsoft will release Forza Horizon 4: Ultimate Edition as an Xbox Play Anywhere title for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs. The Ultimate Edition will launch this Friday, four days ahead of the Standard Edition of the game, and it’ll feature a ton of bonus content including the Car Pass, VIP Membership, Best of Bond Car Pack, Formula Drift Car Pack, and access to two additional expansions when they’re released.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
