Major Nelson has this week released a new episode in the ongoing series This Week on Xbox, providing a look at the free Xbox games available in the first half of September 2018, as well as more details on the early access for NBA 2K19.
Free Xbox Games for September 2018
In this episode, Major Nelson highlights the free Xbox games that are available for Xbox Live Gold members in the first half of September 2018. These games include a mix of genres to cater to different tastes, ensuring that there is something for everyone. For instance, players can dive into the action-packed world of “Prison Architect,” where they can design and manage their own prison, or they can explore the mysterious and atmospheric “Livelock,” a top-down shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Full Release
This week’s episode also looks at the full release of the hugely popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), which is now available to play on the Xbox One complete with its third map, Sanhok. Sanhok is a smaller, more intense map that offers a different gameplay experience compared to the larger maps like Erangel and Miramar. The map’s compact size leads to faster-paced matches and more frequent encounters with other players, making it a favorite among many PUBG fans.
In addition to the new map, the full release of PUBG on Xbox One includes various performance improvements and new features that enhance the overall gaming experience. Players can now enjoy better graphics, smoother gameplay, and new weapons and vehicles that add more depth to the game.
NBA 2K19 Early Access
For basketball enthusiasts, the episode provides more details on the early access for NBA 2K19. This highly anticipated game allows players to experience the thrill of the NBA with realistic graphics, updated rosters, and new gameplay mechanics. Early access gives players a head start to explore the new features and modes before the official release, including the revamped MyCareer mode, where players can create and develop their own basketball superstar.
New Xbox Game Pass Titles
This week’s episode also includes new Xbox Game Pass titles, expanding the already impressive library of games available to subscribers. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that gives players unlimited access to a wide range of games for a monthly fee. Some of the new titles added this month include “Halo: The Master Chief Collection,” which offers a comprehensive collection of the iconic Halo series, and “Quantum Break,” a unique action-adventure game that blends gameplay with live-action episodes.
