Inside Xbox Episode 5 Recap
Earlier today Inside Xbox Episode 5
aired, continuing to pull back the curtain on Team Xbox to celebrate our games,
features, and fans. This episode was full of closer looks at some big upcoming
games, including No Man’s Sky, We Happy Few, and Earthfall,
as well as the announcement of a huge addition to Xbox Game Pass. So, without
further ado, let’s take a closer look at some of the biggest news coming out of
this month’s episode of Inside Xbox.
Rocket League and Warhammer: Vermintide 2 are
Coming to Xbox Game Pass
The Xbox Game Pass catalogue continues to grow this
week, thanks to the addition of a couple of awesome titles. First up, the
much-loved Rocket League, which blends elements of soccer, racing, and
demolition derbies together to create a wonderful whole, hits Xbox Game Pass
today. Then, tomorrow, Warhammer: Vermintide 2 brings its mix of over-the-top
gore and first-person hacking and slashing to the service.
The Sport White Special Edition Xbox
One Controller
Featuring beautiful, clean lines and a snazzy design,
the latest addition to the Xbox One controller family is a looker. Inspired by
sports and sneakers, the Sport White’s got mint green accents and grey and
silver patterns to go along with its fresh white design. If you’re a sneaker
head, you’ll definitely want one of these. You can snag this sporty beauty at
the Microsoft Store and other retailers beginning July 31st in the U.S. and
Canada, and then worldwide on August 7th.
A Closer Look at No Man’s Sky
The highly-anticipated space exploration game No Man’s
Sky is hitting Xbox One on July 24, so we had Hello Games founder Sean Murray
on to share a bit about how excited the team is to be bringing the game to our
consoles. He also showed a new video created by the team that breaks down 11
new features, from freighters to alien sidekicks, added to the game since its
initial launch, all of which will be available when the game launches on Xbox
One.
We Happy Few Adds a Story Mode
The Inside Xbox team was joined by Guillaume
Provost from Compulsion Games, the latest studio to join the Microsoft Studios
family. Guillaume showed off We Happy Few’s new story mode for the first time,
sharing that you’ll be able to see events in the game from multiple
perspectives as you play. This is going to be one wild ride, and we can’t wait
to see more when the game releases in August.
Surviving an Alien Invasion in Earthfall
Coming to join us from their studio
just up the road in Bellevue, the team from developer Holospark gave us a
closer look at the upcoming game Earthfall, which releases this
coming Friday, July 13. Earthfall is a four-player co-op shooter that tasks
players with surviving an alien invasion, and it looks like a blast. Even
better, the guys announced that all maps and additions to the game will be
absolutely free to anyone who purchases it. There will also be Mixer
integration, so save up that Spark to help your friends!

To close out the show, the team was joined by some
familiar faces from Playground Games, who came on to give fans a closer at this
highly-anticipated (and absolutely gorgeous) Xbox One racing game. This segment
lead into a special live-stream on mixer.com/forzamotorsport, where the team at Playground Games highlighted the
summer season, including interviews with the team and community Q&A.
Thanks to everyone who tuned in! We hope you
enjoyed the show and we can’t wait to tell you all about next month’s episode
in a few weeks.
