PC Game Pass Adds the Most Wishlisted Game on Steam
26.04.2024 - 16:56 / gamerant.com / Xbox Game Pass / Harold Halibut / Slavic Magic / Dominik Bo
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has added Manor Lords to its thriving content library. This is the fifth day-one release on Microsoft's subscription service in April 2024, as well as the 56th title to reach Xbox Game Pass Ultimate since the turn of the year.
Developed by Polish studio Slavic Magic, Manor Lords is a feature-packed strategy game that tasks players with growing and developing medieval fiefs. While largely envisioned as a city builder, it also incorporates real-time tactical battles into its gameplay loop. Its micromanagement elements emphasize historical accuracy and realism, offering features like a burgage plot system, half a dozen forms of 14th-century taxation, and environmental effects of civilization expansion. E.g., not rotating crops will degrade soil fertility, while most wildlife like deer will naturally migrate away from civilization.
This distinct premise has helped Manor Lords become the most-wishlisted game on Steam in the run-up to its release, with over 3 million people adding it to their wishlists ahead of its April 26 debut. Aside from Steam, Slavic Magic's latest title is now also available via Xbox Game Pass. Although the studio has plans to port it to consoles, this early access release is limited to PC. Microsoft's subscribers hence need a PC Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership to play Manor Lords for the time being.

Helldivers 2 Just Ruined The Most Promising Game In Years
has made waves as a live-service game that offers the complete package of fun gameplay, an engaging community, and interesting updates, but one move could undo a huge portion of what it's built over the past few months. As a sequel to the modestly popular top-down shooter, the third-person follow-up has managed to go toe-to-toe with major IPs and stands out as one of the biggest successes of 2024. Not everyone has been able to get in on the fun – isn't available on Xbox – but that hasn't slowed its momentum much.
