Xbox Game Pass Confirms New Day One Game for September 2023
In September 2023, Xbox Game Pass subscribers have an exciting new addition on their horizon. Party Animals, a multiplayer brawler game reminiscent of Gang Beasts, is set to launch on September 20. The anticipation for this game has been building for years, despite multiple delays. Fans eagerly awaited Party Animals' first demo, and with good reason. The delayed release dates have allowed for a more polished and complete gaming experience, ensuring that the wait will be worth it.
When September 20 arrives, Party Animals will be available for play on both PC through Steam and Xbox consoles. The game is priced at $20.00, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers won't have to pay anything extra beyond their existing subscription fee. As a day one Xbox Game Pass game, Party Animals can be enjoyed by subscribers on the day of release without any additional cost.
For those unfamiliar with Party Animals, it is a physics-based multiplayer brawler that supports both local and online modes. Players assume the roles of various animals and compete against friends and other online players. Fans of Gang Beasts will surely want to keep an eye out for Party Animals.
While Xbox Game Pass didn't have a prominent presence at this year's Summer Game Fest, it is expected to be a major focus of the upcoming Xbox Showcase on June 11. However, even though the Summer Game Fest didn't give Xbox Game Pass much attention, Party Animals wasn't the only exciting announcement related to the service. Another highly-anticipated game called Lies of P, inspired by Bloodborne, will also be releasing in September as a day one Xbox Game Pass game. As part of the Summer Game Fest festivities, a free demo for Lies of P was also surprise-released, giving interested players a taste of what's to come.
