Xbox Game Pass Welcomes Cyberpunk 2077 and Construction Simulator
Starting March 10, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium subscribers gained access to two exciting new titles: Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt RED and Construction Simulator from weltenbauer.
The inclusion of Cyberpunk 2077 extends Xbox's long-standing collaboration with the Polish studio. This partnership previously saw major game showcases and the release of a special Night City-themed Xbox One X console. Following the earlier addition of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt to Game Pass, it's now time for another massive project from CD Projekt RED to join the service.
In Cyberpunk 2077, players step into the shoes of V, a mercenary striving to make a name in the ruthless metropolis of Night City. The narrative centers on a high-stakes operation to acquire an experimental prototype, an event that profoundly alters V's life. The story immerses players in a futuristic world brimming with corporate conspiracies, dangerous gangs, and advanced technologies that blur the line between human and machine.
Additionally, Construction Simulator has also been added to Game Pass. In this game, players can establish their own construction company, expand their business, operate various heavy machinery, and undertake significant infrastructure projects under the guidance of an experienced mentor.
