Elite Dangerous (Console) – February 25
Take control of your own starship in a cutthroat galaxy. Elite Dangerous is the definitive massively multiplayer space epic, bringing gaming’s original open world adventure to the modern generation with a connected galaxy, evolving narrative and the entirety of the Milky Way re-created at its full galactic proportions.
Superhot: Mind Control Delete (PC) ID@Xbox – February 25
Time moves only when you move. The long-awaited third game in the groundbreaking Superhot franchise, Superhot: Mind Control Delete gives you more insight into the signature power fantasy world of Superhot with more story, more signature gameplay, more action, and more guns. Keep dancing the slow-motion ballet of destruction for so much longer than ever before.
A great line-up, with Dirt 5's addition feeling somewhat overdue based on it feeling like one of the bigger Xbox Series X and S launch titles. Great to see it being added now. Obsidian's Pillar of Eternity 2 is brilliant too -- and with the developer being a first-party studio odds are its addition here is a permanent deal.
GAME TRIVIA - Did You Know?
Elite Dangerous features a 1:1 scale of the Milky Way galaxy to explore, one based on scientific data. That means it includes 400 billion star systems all modelled on real galactic charts. Though, we kind of have to take developer Frontier's word on that -- as there's no way you could see it all.
