If you’re curious whether The Alters will be part of Xbox Game Pass, I have some good news. This sci-fi survival game will launch directly on the service, letting Ultimate members jump in from day one without extra cost. That’s a nice way to try out a fresh title this summer.
Developed by 11 Bit Studios, known for adding several titles to Xbox Game Pass before, The Alters tells the story of Jan Dolski, a miner who survives a crash landing on a hostile planet. Players need to gather resources, craft equipment, build a base, and manage the Alters — clones of Dolski — to survive the challenges ahead. Sounds intense, right? But it’s also a clever twist on survival gameplay.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate currently costs $19.99 per month. Given that game prices are rising globally, with some first-party Xbox titles hitting $80, having access to a large library, including The Alters on launch day, still feels like a good value. Plus, PC Game Pass subscribers also get access at the same time.
How to Access The Alters on Xbox Game Pass
Playing The Alters on Xbox Game Pass is straightforward once the game launches on June 13 at 8 AM EDT. Here’s the quick rundown:
- Sign in to your official Xbox account.
- Subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass.
- Open the Xbox Store and search for The Alters.
- Select the game and download it when available.
- After installation and any updates, start playing at launch time!
Yikes, that sounds pretty simple, right? I’m kinda curious how managing clones will play out. Will it be hectic or oddly satisfying?
