Skyrim and Among Us join Xbox Game Pass this December

Xbox Game Pass adds to its catalog three more games to say goodbye to 2020, two of them known to all: Morkredd, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Among Us.

That the rhythm does not stop. If a few days ago we were talking about the end of the year in a big way with Xbox Game Pass, which said goodbye to 2020 with 16 more games for its catalog, be careful because there are still several surprises on the way. Taking advantage of The Game Awards 2020, Microsoft has confirmed the name of three other titles that will also break into the service during this month of December: Morkredd, Skyrim and Among Us.

The first of them, and surely the most unknown, is a puzzle game born in a game jam in which its prototype was the winner, back in 2017. Its name, Morkredd, comes from a Norwegian word that means “fear of darkness”. He is not even painted, because in it we will have to use several orbs of light to combat the shadows and overcome different challenges, whose setting and artistic section are inspired by the long winters of Nordic culture. It will be available on Xbox Game Pass today, both on console and PC, and it also has the possibility of playing it cooperatively and is optimized for Xbox Series X / S.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on Game Pass

Of the second and third there is less to say. Who by now has not heard of them and has not tried them? The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is possibly one of the games that has gone through the most platforms. Launched in 2011, it is said soon, its arrival on Xbox Game Pass was foreseeable after the purchase of Bethesda by Microsoft and will take place on December 15, although it will only be for consoles. It will thus add two more platforms, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, whose characteristics may make it worthwhile for you to return once again to such mythical places. At the end of the day on both machines the game has much faster loading times and thanks to various mods it reaches 60 images per second.

Among Us, also to Xbox Game Pass

Game Pass users on PC are left without Skyrim, true, but in return they will receive one of the most famous games of 2020 in the service library. It is Among Us, another that you will know by heart as soon as you have taken a tour by Twitch or Youtube, where it does nothing but monopolize content and broadcasts. But Among Us is not only news for its arrival (in brief) to Xbox Game Pass, but also for having won two statuettes in The Game Awards 2020 (best mobile game and best multiplayer game). In addition, during the gala he took the opportunity to announce his new map, The Airship, which will be available in early 2021.

To these three we should add those already announced for this month, among which Control, Call of the Sea or the new expansion of Gears 5, called Hivebusters, stand out. And for those with an eye on the future, at The Game Awards a date was set for the arrival of Flight Simulator to the Xbox Game Pass console (summer 2021) and it was confirmed that the entire Yakuza saga will be in service very soon, with the arrival of Yakuza 3, 4, 5 and 6 planned for the first quarter of 2021.
