Microsoft reveals 7 more games that are coming as Xbox Game Pass’ second wave on November 22, and it includes a very highly rated game.
Xbox Game Pass adds two new day-one titles today, but it’s not one to rest on its laurels. Pentiment and Somerville may come to Game Pass today, but the service has outlined the rest of the month with seven more games (in addition to one previously announced title).
One of the new Xbox Game Pass titles is Norco, which had been previously slated for an October release but was delayed indefinitely. It is now slated to release on November 17, alongside a solid and varied line-up of other games.
Over on OpenCritic, Norco rests comfortably in the #5 place for the best games of 2022. It is only beaten by Elden Ring and Portal: Companion Collection (both of which have scores of 95), God of War Ragnarok at 94, and Dead Cells‘ The Queen and The Sea DLC at 93, and then it comes in fifth with a score of 91. The game has been highly praised since its release, and it is definitely the headliner of Game Pass’ Wave 2 additions.
