Some Xbox Game Pass subscribers may have missed the initial announcement because of all the big reveals lately, but day one game Turnip Boy Robs a Bank has been confirmed for release on January 18, 2024. While this reveal may have gone under the radar for some fans, it's still notable because Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is officially the first day one game confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in January 2024.
While Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the first game confirmed for Xbox Game Pass in January 2024, other games have been confirmed for next year. Most of the new Xbox Game Pass games for 2024 have vague release windows, but there are some with solid dates. Perhaps one of the most notable in the early part of the year is the upcoming Persona 3 Reload from Atlus, which is scheduled to launch as a day one Game Pass game on February 2.
Xbox Game Pass Confirms New Game for 2024
As the year begins to wrap up, Xbox Game Pass confirms more and more for 2024, with another title confirmed for Q2 2024.
Besides Persona 3 Reload coming February 2, the only other day one games with specific dates for 2024 are Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (April 23), Manor Lords (April 26), and of course, the previously mentioned Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, which will hit Game Pass on January 18, 2024. Turnip Boy Robs a Bank is the sequel to the popular 2021 indie game Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion was also part of Xbox Game Pass, but it has since been removed from the lineup.
What is Turnip Boy Robs a Bank?
For those unfamiliar with the Turnip Boy games, they are comedic top-down 2D games with roguelite elements. The games have drawn comparisons to Nintendo's Legend of Zelda franchise. In Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, players take on the role of titular Turnip Boy as he attempts to rob a bank utilizing a variety of unique weapons and interacting with various characters who are mostly all anthropomorphic food items. The original Turnip Boy earned mixed reviews at the time of its release, but it earned some praise for its sense of humor and short but sweet gameplay experience.
Turnip Boy Robs a Bank could potentially outdo the original game, but fans will have to play it for themselves to find out. Luckily, Turnip Boy Robs a Bank being a day one Xbox Game Pass game means subscribers to Microsoft's service can try it out without even buying the game itself. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can try Turnip Boy Robs a Bank when it hits Game Pass on January 18, 2024.
