Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Are Coming to Xbox Game Pass This July
Microsoft has now announced the next list of games which will be coming to the Xbox Game Pass service in July. The list is notable for the inclusion of two major Bethesda titles, adding to their ever-increasing roster of games on the service. Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls VI: Oblivion will both be coming to the service, along with seven other titles.
Fallout 3 and Oblivion Coming to Game Pass
Just a few weeks ago, Bethesda announced two other games on Xbox Game Pass. That announcement came during their E3 presentation. In a surprise for fans, Todd Howard announced during the presentation that both Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls Online would be available on Game Pass. Moreover, both became available that same night. Now, Bethesda is bringing two of its older titles to Microsoft’s subscription service; Fallout 3 and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion will both be releasing on Xbox Game Pass on July 1st.
If you’re unfamiliar, Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service available to Xbox owners, often seen as a rival to the PlayStation Now service. It costs $9.99 per month, and in exchange, subscribers can download and play any game included in the service’s catalog. Since first launching in June of 2017, the service’s online catalog has steadily increased. It certainly seems that Bethesda has been convinced of its merits as a platform; the studio will have released four of its biggest games on Game Pass within a single month once Fallout 3 and Oblivion join the catalog.
The other games which will be releasing on Xbox Game Pass this July are; Abzu, Bomber Crew, DiRT 4, Human Fall Flat, Shadow Complex Remastered, Warhammer: Vermintide 2, and Zombie Army Trilogy. All of the games will release on the 1st, with two exceptions. Bomber Crew and Vermintide will release on the 10th and 11th of July, respectively.
