Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is the last addition to June's Xbox Game Pass games. The game will be accessible on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC versions of Xbox Game Pass.
The Story of Seasons series stood the test of time and has developed further with new titles and a crossover with the Doraemon franchise. The name "Story of Seasons" exists due to a falling out between developer Marvelous and publisher Natsume, who owns the Harvest Moon name.
Now, Xbox Game Pass users on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S can enjoy Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town with their subscriptions. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town brings some modern additions compared to the GBA version that bring the game to current-day standards. Because of this, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is one of the best ways to play the game.
Meanwhile, players who are satisfied with Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town and want to play a more recent title in the series can try out the latest addition to the series, Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. This game is a remake of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life that brings several fixes to issues that the original had. While the premise is nothing new for farming sim fans, this entry makes up for it with a more relaxing experience than its GameCube counterpart. The game is available on PC and Xbox Series X/S and while it's not on Game Pass, it's a worthwhile endeavor for fans of the Story of Seasons series.
Of course, should players feel tempted to try other games that were added to Xbox Game Pass throughout June, the service recently added Need for Speed: Unbound, The Bookwalker: Thief of Tales, and FIST: Forged in Shadow Torch. These games are all notable titles that players looking for more game variety should look forward to playing.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers likely be happy with Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town as it offers a more tranquil experience compared to the other games. With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, all of these games and more can be played on Xbox consoles and PC.
