It’s a new month, which means a new set of games arriving on Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service. The arrivals begin today with stompy, old school shooterWarhammer 40,000: Boltgun, and will continue before the advent of spring with the mechs-and-plants craft ‘em upLightyear Frontierand telekinetic adventure Control Ultimate Edition, among others.Here’s all the games that will arrive on Game Pass in the first half of March:Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun - Available todayPAW Patrol World - March 7thSpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated - March 12thControl Ultimate Edition - March 13thNo More Heroes 3 - March 14thLightyear Frontier (early access) - March 19thThe following games are leaving on March 15th, however:Hardspace: ShipbreakerNi no Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch RemasteredShreddersI’ve played an hour or so of Boltgun and I had a good time being a heavy Space Marine lad and pulping sprite enemies in first-person with a chainsword and, well, a boltgun. Remedy’s Control is also obviously beloved, riffing as it does on creepy SCP Foundation ideas and pairing it with some visually spectacular combat.It’s Lightyear Frontier that I’m most interested in. It’s a peaceful, open world farming game, like a blend betweenSatisfactoryandStardew Valley, except you’ve got a mech with which to carry out your farmyard chores, and you can buddy up with three friends in co-op. Its arrival on Game Pass will be a day one thing, albeit only as a “game preview” - aka early access - release.Hardspace: Shipbreaker, meanwhile, is the best of the leavers. It’s a fabulous, physicsy simulation about dismantling space derelicts with a laser cutter, and well worth playing if you’ve got time over the next ten days.
