Summary
Aug. 4 brought Beast of Reincarnation to Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release, putting Game Freak's new action RPG on cloud, Xbox Series X, handheld and PC.
The game follows Emma and her dog Koo through a post-apocalyptic Japan, mixing parry-heavy combat with giant-monster battles against robot-like golems and corrupted creatures.
Critical reaction has been mixed so far, with reviews praising the combat and RPG systems but faulting the game for borrowing ideas without fully refining them.
Xbox also used Tuesday's announcement to outline its first-half August slate, adding titles including PowerWash Simulator 2 on Aug. 6 and Grounded 2 on Aug. 11, while four games leave on Aug. 15.
