‘Control’ Arrives on Xbox Game Pass For PC This Thursday
Microsoft had previously announced Control coming to Xbox Game Pass a few months back, though PC gamers were left out in the cold. Microsoft has remedied that (no pun intended) by announcing that Remedy’s award-winning psychological thriller will be headed to the Xbox Game Pass for PC on January 21st via Twitter.
In fact, Control joins a crowded lineup for genre fans looking to get games on their PC via the Microsoft subscription service. Not only does the Xbox Game Pass have DOOM Eternal (which joined last month), you’ll also be able to grab titles such as A Plague Tale: Innocence, Alan Wake (which Luiz talked about earlier last week), Alien: Isolation, Blair Witch, Bloodstained: Ritual of The Night, Carrion, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan and more.
Not bad for a service that costs $4.99 USD a month just for the PC alone.
Control is also available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
While not quite Snakes on a Plane or Red Eye, co-developers Liquid Static Studio and Snapping Turtle have something darker in mind with their upcoming job-sim horror game, Night Plane. Coming to Steam later this year, the game has you doing the expected work as a flight attendant, but with the added bonus of trying to find demons hiding amongst the passengers.
It’s 1999, and it’s your first day on the job. You must do the usual things as a flight attendant: welcoming passengers aboard, check tickets, and attend to their needs. However, shape-shifting entities may attempt to come aboard disguised as humans. So, your additional job in Night Plane is to question passengers, and find a way to remove any unauthorized non-human visitors from the plane.
That also leads to assisting passengers in unorthodox ways inside the plane, outside the plane, and in places not listed in your training manual. To make things even more complicated, you’ll need to make tough decisions with irreversible consequences. Naturally, the company will not be held accountable for any mistakes you make. You live with them.
Oh, and seeing as this is a plane, you may encounter some turbulence while in flight, along with power failures, lightning strikes and more. All of which, including your decisions, will lead to one of the multiple endings in Night Plane.
If you wish to get in on the fun prior to the game’s release, you can sign up for the playtest via the Steam page.
