It looks like Xbox Game Pass just got a whole lot more exciting! Gamers get a Day One release on Xbox Game Pass with the arrival of Descenders Next. Get your adrenaline pumping and prepare for some serious mountain biking action! Descenders Next is the sequel to the acclaimed downhill mountain biking game, and it's set to launch in 2025 on Xbox Game Pass, and this one will drop on day one, so you don't have to wait to join in the thrills!
This is huge news for Xbox Game Pass, especially as Microsoft navigates its way through some tricky waters. There was the price increase and they closed down a bunch of popular game studios. So they really need to keep gamers happy and show them that the service is still worth the money, which is why landing Descenders Next for their subscription service is a clever move.
You might already know the first Descenders, where you shred those wild mountains, but this sequel throws in a few new things. You can go downhill on snowboards. You even get this gnarly mountain board, which is basically an offroad longboard. There are crazy environments too. I mean, just imagine going off jumps in snow mountains!
Get this – there are all kinds of different settings for those races, so they never get old! Imagine biking through forests, riding through deserts, then bam! It’s all about hitting those crazy downhill paths. There's also a ton of customization too – you can design your character and find gear to make those tougher challenges feel less challenging. So if you want to spice up the competition, this is your chance.
You might have noticed Microsoft’s changed the way Day One game releases work with Xbox Game Pass. Before, they dropped those new titles right away in Game Pass, which made everyone super happy. Then bam! They changed their rules, making a lot of fans concerned! It was a huge deal and now you basically have to sign up for those super high-priced subscriptions just to try out some of the new titles right away.
But this is good news because the Day One release for Descenders Next is just for everyone with the top Game Pass subscriptions – so that's something! I guess this makes sense for Microsoft to show their subscription is actually worth it.
Think Descenders with a bunch of new things to love, including this new gear you can get as rewards, which makes competing a bit easier than those random item drops you got in the first version! It’s a good change to show the designers have been paying attention to their fans, and the way Descenders Next is looking right now – I'm really stoked!
Keep an eye out for more Descenders Next teasers and videos coming out, as this mountain biking experience gets even wilder. I think this one is gonna be big for gamers and a nice addition to the Xbox Game Pass family – especially as we approach a brand new year.
Get ready, Xbox Game Pass members! With that crazy Game Pass price hike earlier this year, they've got to bring out those awesome new releases, like Descenders Next to make things more exciting. We all want a good value, and those high-end titles for Day One Release are great news!
If 2025 is all about bigger and better Gaming, and we've got this huge, adrenaline-pumping game like Descenders Next to start it all off – then, honestly, I can’t wait to see what's in store! With those killer mountain biking features, and everything coming to Game Pass, this could be the year that really takes those subscriptions to another level.
