The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has been a big hit on Xbox Game Pass despite earning somewhat mixed reviews. A day one Xbox Game Pass game with critical acclaim could potentially perform even better, so it will definitely be interesting to see how many Xbox Game Pass subscribers check out Sea of Stars when it's added to the service on August 29.
Sea of Stars is coming to Xbox Game Pass on August 29, the very day of its releases, giving subscribers the chance to play the acclaimed game without even needing to buy it. Taking inspiration from JRPG classics like Chrono Trigger, Sea of Stars has been praised for its epic story, engaging gameplay, and eye-catching art style. Sea of Stars reviews have been absolutely glowing, making it one of the highest-rated new game releases of 2023 so far with an impressive 94 overall rating. There is still time for its overall review score to change, but as of writing, Sea of Stars is one of 2023's highest-rated games, right behind Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Sea of Stars Reviews
What may make Sea of Stars especially exciting is that not only is the game earning rave reviews from critics, but it will also be easily accessible to all gamers regardless of their platform of choice. Sea of Stars is playable on PC and Nintendo Switch, not to mention all current PlayStation and Xbox consoles. And not only is Sea of Stars a day one Xbox Game Pass game, but it's also a day one PS Plus Extra game. Anyone signed up for PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium will also get to play Sea of Stars on the day of its release without paying a penny beyond their usual subscription fee.
Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus Essential subscribers don't have to wait much longer for Sea of Stars, as the game is scheduled to launch on August 29. But Xbox Game Pass subscribers looking for a game that might scratch a similar itch should check out Chained Echoes. Another day one Xbox Game Pass game, Chained Echoes similarly earned critical acclaim at the time of its release. Needless to say, fans of classic JRPG-style games should be getting a lot of their Xbox Game Pass subscription.
