The game, developed by Neon Giant and published by Curve Games, can be played on Xbox Series, Xbox One, PC, and Cloud Gaming, making it easily accessible from any device with an active subscription to the service. It’s one of those additions that fit perfectly with the Game Pass catalog due to its visual style, direct gameplay, and marked atmosphere.

The Ascent is an isometric shooter set in a cyberpunk universe, where players explore a massive vertical megastructure controlled by ruthless corporations. The story unfolds after the collapse of the group that controlled everything, triggering an all-out fight for survival.

Among its strong points are:

• Intense combat in solo or co-op mode (local and online)

• Weapon and skill upgrade system

• Aesthetics inspired by Blade Runner with great attention to detail

• RPG progression with character and equipment customization

• The Ascent — Console, PC, Cloud

Its arrival on Xbox Game Pass represents a second chance for those who didn’t try it at launch. And for fans of futuristic shooter games, it’s an excellent proposal for the summer. It can now be played without additional cost with Game Pass as of July 8th.
