Why Riders Republic Would Be a Big Addition to Xbox Game Pass
Riders Republicwould be a fairly major addition to the selection of big-budget sports games on Microsoft’s subscription service. The 2021 title marked Ubisoft Annecy’s second attempt at making an ambitious sports game, after the 2016Steep. It received a markedly more positive reception thanSteep, as underlined by its “Strong” OpenCritic rating, which is based on a 73% reviewer recommendation rate and a 78 aggregate score.Riders Republicthus presently enjoys the reputation as one of thehighest-rated open-world sports gamesever made.
If Ubisoft Annecy’s latest title is indeed on its way to Xbox Game Pass on or around September 11, then its arrival is likely to be officially confirmed in a matter of days. Specifically, its purported timing indicates it will be part of the XGP September 2024 Wave 1 lineup, which is expected to be announced early next month.
