The biggest of the trio isStar Wars: Squadrons,with EA Motive’s space dogfighting game offering an immersive, high octane, and visually striking addition to theStar Warsmythos. Releasing in late 2020, the title allows players to pilot a series of iconic ships from the popular franchise, including X-Wings, TIE Fighters, and A-Wings. Alongside players duking it out in multiplayer battles, they’re also able to take part in an original campaign, with the story switching between player-created Rebel and Imperial pilots as they embark upon action-packed missions. The game was one of last year’s bigger releases and is sure to put a smile on anyStar Warsfan’s face.
Dragon Ball FighterZ,on the other hand, is a fighting game based on the iconic anime behemoth,Dragon Ball Z.Allowing players to select from a range of the show’s best heroes and villains, the game has been hailed as a fighter with a strong reverence for its source material, including a striking cel-shaded art style and an authenticallyDragon Ballcombat system. It originally launched in 2018, but still has a strong fanbase to this day, meaning players hopping in now will still be able to find a strong community to battle against online.
Finally,Yooka-Layleeoriginally launched in 2017, with the game looking to offer a new platformer in the same vein as classics likeBanjo-Kazooie.Unfortunately, it was largely seen as a disappointment upon release, with many players criticizing the game’s poor controls, camera, and bland levels. For those who never got to play the platformer, however, it’s sure to offer a bit of light entertainment this weekend, especially considering many critics admitted the game did excel in terms of humor and charm. Regardless, all threeXboxgames will be available for Gold and Game Pass Ultimate players from now until January 17 at 12 PM PT.
