Tunic released today, and it showed up in an unexpected place. The indie action-adventure game is available on Xbox Game Pass.
This means that Game Pass subscribers can play the title on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. Microsoft has done much to help promote Tunic, so this isn’t an entirely shocking development.
Tunic is a top-down action-adventure game in the Zelda mold. You play as an adorable fox who explores a bright and colorful world.
Game Pass is a big part of Microsoft’s gaming strategy. Getting new titles on there, especially on their release days, can help keep current subscribers happy and attract new ones.
