The first game isTurbo Golf Racing, coming to Game Pass via PC, Cloud, and Console. It’s essentially a golf version ofRocket League, where players must race, use upgrades, jump, flip, and boost their golf ball down a raceway and get into the hole at the end to win. It’s a party game, one made much better with its inclusion on Xbox Game Pass.
The second title is only available on PC Game Pass, and it is calledShenzhen I/O. It’s a pretty straightforward puzzle game, where players take on the role of an immigrant to Shenzhen, China. They are an electronics engineer working for the Shenzhen Longteng Electronics company, and players are “creating” products for clients. This involves constructing circuits, writing code, running them, and more. It’s all simplified for an average player, of course, though the programming language in the game is similar to assembly language. Circuitry, however, is all simplified from real-world electronics.
Whether these fit a player’s fancy or not, there is still more on the horizon.Xbox Game Pass has four games confirmed for the next week, includingTwo Point Campuson August 9, as well asCooking Simulator, Expeditions: Rome, andOffworld Trading Companyon August 11. The last two are PC only, while the first two are available on all Xbox Game Pass platforms.
