One Of This Generation’s Best-Looking Shooters Has Been Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass Next Week

Seriously, the game’s signature Grimdark aesthetic is captured perfectly in the team’s updated World War Z engine. Stunning backdrops, dense environments and swarms of enemies as far as the eye can see; Space Marine 2 smashed our expectations of what a Space Marine sequel would ultimately look like. It might not be as ambitious as some current-gen titles in regards to originality, but this is still one of the finest-looking games on Xbox Series X|S, we reckon.

As we alluded to earlier, this positivity goes beyond visuals as well. Space Marine 2 feels great to play, from satisfying melee combat to super-solid third-person shooting and grounded, weighty movement mechanics. It’s Gears of War with the action cranked up to 11, and we reckon lots of you are going to have fun with this one on XGP.

What’s more, Xbox Game Pass players are going to benefit from a raft of patches and updates that the Space Marine 2 team has delivered over the last year and change. Yep, Saber is still updating this one with new multiplayer content, balance tweaks and more over a year on – the game is in pretty darn good shape these days. And, you’ll be able to experience all of this first hand when Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 hits Xbox Game Pass Premium and Ultimate next week.
