Table of Contents
Baldur's Gate 3 is easily one of the most popular games out there. It offers over 170 hours of content (probably more, let’s be honest) and has more than 670,970 reviews on Steam. Even though it launched nearly two years ago, millions still play it every month. And if Baldur's Gate 3 was your first experience with the series and you're looking for more, you'll be glad to know that Xbox Game Pass is currently offering the remastered versions of both of its prequels.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s prequels have arrived on Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass is a subscription-based service that starts at $11.99/month, with the Ultimate plan priced at $19.99 per month. It gives users access to hundreds of games and is a great service for those who are always looking forward to playing something new but can’t afford to buy games at full price. Microsoft also keeps expanding the library with both new and old games, and this usually happens every month.
Recently, Microsoft announced another update for Game Pass users, confirming that both Baldur's Gate 1: Enhanced Edition and Baldur's Gate 2: Enhanced Edition are now available to Game Pass members starting June 5th. The best part is that these games are accessible to both Standard and Ultimate subscribers.
Baldur's Gate was originally released in December 1998, while Baldur's Gate 2 arrived a couple of years later, in September 2000. The enhanced editions of both games were later released in November 2012 and 2013. These versions offer improved graphics and additional content, making them a great choice for anyone who wants to explore the prequels to Baldur's Gate 3 with updated visuals.
Microsoft has also confirmed that throughout June, plenty of other games will be added to the Game Pass library, which include Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition, Barbie Project Friendship, Kingdom: Two Crowns, EA Sports FC 25, The Alters, and a few more. However, keep in mind that some of these games will be available only to Ultimate members, not Standard subscribers.
