33 Immortals is the most fun you can have with Xbox Game Pass this month
33 immortals early access impressions lucifer

If the past year has taught me anything, it’s that players are hungry for creative co-op games. Helldivers 2 emerged as one of 2024’s biggest hits thanks to its creative squad play, Monster Hunter Wilds is enormous right now, and Split Fiction is already being hailed as a game of the year frontrunner. There’s a definite hunger right now for games that let people play together in something other than a straight shooter.

So, 33 Immortals couldn’t be dropping into early access at a better moment. The latest game from Spiritfarer developer Thunder Lotus is a top-down action roguelike with a big twist: 33 players work together at once to vanquish monsters. That might sound like a recipe for complete chaos at a glance, but it’s not. Thunder Lotus has its ambitious concept under control thanks to a bevy of ingenious co-op ideas that make players feel like they’re part of an army rather than a lone wolf in a sea of them.

As overwhelming as the list of upcoming Xbox Series X games can look, the upside is that fans of every genre have something to look forward to. We're seeing some of the best horror games, best FPS games, and best open-world games hitting our consoles, but you have to look a little bit harder if you want to find the best stealth games. These titles limit, or outright remove, your power to directly engage with enemies and instead challenge you to sneak by unnoticed. Staying in the shadows, causing distractions, and making deaths look like accidents are all ingredients in a fantastic stealth experience, but certainly not the only ones. If you feel like all the best stealth games on Xbox Series X are hiding from you, we will shine a light on them for you.

The hardest Xbox Achievements of all time

The Xbox 360 revolutionized gaming in many ways, but perhaps its most influential aspect was the Achievement system. These added additional challenges and tasks into games that players could choose to complete to add to a total Gamer Score that is displayed for all to see as a sort of badge of honor. Achievement hunting quickly became an addictive pursuit for many, but these challenges weren't all easy. Now players had to do more than just beat the hardest game, but also go the extra mile and do things like unlock secret endings or beat secret bosses. A bad Achievement list can turn some people off even the best Xbox Series X game, but these go far beyond that. These are the hardest Xbox Achievements of all time.

Note: We will not be including multiplayer Achievements or any other that is or might eventually become impossible to get.
