Co Op Fans With Xbox Game Pass Have 2 New Games To Try Out

First up is Escape Academy, a brand-new, day one Xbox Game Pass game that was added to the library earlier this month. Escape Academy is a split-screen co-op game that offers both local and online play, with players teaming up to solve escape room puzzles. Escape Academy is a short but sweet game, and any puzzle fans wanting a new co-op game to play should certainly consider giving it a shot.

The other new co-op game added to Xbox Game Pass recently is PowerWash Simulator. PowerWash Simulator is exactly as its name sounds; it’s a game about running a power wash business. Players use a power washer to clean dirt and grime off various objects and buildings, and they can team up with friends online if they so desire. Up to six people can play PowerWash Simulator in online co-op, making it a solid game to try for Game Pass subscribers.

Escape Academy and PowerWash Simulator are two recent co-op additions to the Xbox Game Pass library, but there are plenty of other co-op games on Xbox Game Pass for subscribers to try as well. Xbox Game Pass is really a co-op gold mine at the moment, ranging from hidden gem indie co-op games to big budget co-op titles like Microsoft’s own Gears of War and Halo franchises. All the games in both series are currently available to play through Game Pass.

The only Halo game that does not offer campaign co-op is Halo Infinite, the latest game in the series. But while Halo Infinite lacks co-op right now, that will be changing in the near future. Developer 343 Industries is actively testing Halo Infinite camapign co-op, with plans on implementing it in the relatively near future. There are some restrictions with Halo Infinite co-op, but the feature will still be appreciated whenever it’s finally added.

There should be many more co-op games added to Xbox Game Pass in the months ahead. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will have to hang tight for more information on that front, however.
