Day of the Dev's Game Awards stream had plenty of Game Pass reveals


There's nothing better than a whole bunch of Xbox Game Pass reveals, and yesterday's Day of the Devs' The Game Awards stream had plenty of 'em.


With a rotating selection of new games coming in and out every month, there's pretty much always something to look forward to when it comes to Xbox Game Pass. Day of the Devs' The Game Award stream proved that that isn't changing any time soon, as a bunch of games were confirmed to be coming to the subscription service. First up is Flock, an incredibly charming looking multiplayer co-op game all about flying around on some funny looking creatures from the devs behind games like Hohokum, Wilmot's Warehouse, and I Am Dead. There's no release date on this one, but you can already try out a demo on Steam - and whenever it does launch, it'll be available on PlayStation and Switch too.


Next up there's the latest game from the devs behind games like Gone Home and Tacoma, Open Roads, finally launching on February 22 next year. This one follows Tess Devine, a young woman who's never had an easy relationship with her mother, as they head out on a road trip to uncover "deep-rooted family secrets." As well as Xbox, Open Road will be coming to PlayStation, Switch, and PC. Worth noting that one of the former leads behind the project, Steve Gaynor, is no longer attached to the project, following allegations of toxic workplace behaviour, now being developed by Open Roads Team instead.
