Show them some love for us! We were all really lucky to have found players like you in our community, and supporting other indies is something we really want to do more of. Indie games are something special and being able to help support and lift them up? It'd even make an Impostor cry.

Okay that's it for meeeee. See you in the next update for HOLIDAY STUFFS.

The Gunk, Among Us and Mortal Kombat 11 are the last Game Pass additions of the year

If there’s one thing that’s defined Xbox this console generation so far, it’s Game Pass. Unsurprisingly then, Microsoft is looking to end 2021 on a high note, bringing 11 new games to its subscription service this week. Headlined by day one Xbox exclusive release, The Gunk, this final offering of the year sees The Gunk joined by Among Us on cloud, Mortal Kombat 11 and Broken Age – to name but a few.

While Game Pass has its fair share of AAA titles, this month’s additions are mostly indie classics, from Firewatch, and Lake to Broken Age. Paw Patrol, and Transformers: Battlegrounds - well, we guess they can’t all be winners, can they?

The full list of new additions arriving today and tomorrow are as follows:

Among Us (Cloud).

Ben 10: Power Trip.

Broken Age.

Firewatch.

The Gunk.

Lake.

Mortal Kombat 11.

Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay.

Race With Ryan.

Transformers: Battlegrounds.

With the exception of Among Us, all of these titles will be arriving to Game Pass for Cloud, PC and Xbox.

While Microsoft has been keeping its Game Pass subscriber numbers a closely guarded secret, there’s no doubt that the service is winning the hearts (and wallets) of gamers. It’s a fact that hasn’t seemed to go unnoticed by the competition, with Sony rumoured to be working on an all-new subscription service of its own.

There's a patch out today for the hit social deduction game Among Us, but the big news is that Among Us is now out on Xbox and PlayStation, which in turn means that thanks to the magic of cross-play, you can now play Among Us with your console-owning pals.

Developer Innersloth hasn't published new patch notes for the update, which weighs in at around 147 MB on Steam. But with today's launch of the Xbox and PlayStation versions of Among Us, both of which support cross-play, it's sensible to assume the existing versions needed some adjustments to make linking up with players on newly added platforms possible.

The last major patch for Among Us landed last month, and it introduced two new crew roles, the Engineer and Scientist, as well as a new shapeshifter role for imposters. That patch also added Among Us' new cosmetics shop and 'Cosmicube' system, which lets players buy or earn sets of unlockable cosmetic items to customise their crewmember's look.

The Among Us x Arcane Cosmicube!

Crewmates!

Dress up and play as your favorite Arcane character in Among Us’ first ever Cosmicube partnership, out now on all platforms through December 31, 2021!

We’re so excited to have worked with Riot for an official collaboration to celebrate the launch of their first animated series, Arcane! You’ll see some fan favorite champions, hats, and skins from the League of Legends franchise, including Heimerdinger, Jayce, and Caitlyn. Oh! And Heimerdinger’s absolutely adorable Poro pet. Check out the full list of cosmetics in the game!

Much like your ability to survive as a Crewmate, all good things must come to an end. The Arcane Cosmicube will only be available from now through Dec 31, 2021 before it disappears from our store. However, once you purchase the Cosmicube, the ability to unlock the cosmetics and items inside it will be yours forever.

All cosmetics are purely visual and do not have any effect on gameplay or gameplay options! This is purely for your eyeballs (or visor?) to enjoy. Don’t forget to activate the Cosmicube once you redeem it in order to start earning Pods to unlock the contents. You can activate the Cosmicube via the Crewmate button on the front page, or in the game lobby. You can purchase the Cosmicube on the Store by pressing the "$" sign in the game.

The fact we’re partnering with Arcane is wildly exciting for us, and we hope you love all the cosmetics in the game. Not bad for our first-ever collaboration, huh? There’s a ton to get hyped for in the future.

Can’t wait to see all those Poro pets running around!

Cheers,

Victoria
