Hours ago, Xbox gamers started noticing that both Remnant: From The Ashes and Remnant II were showing in the ‘Recently Added’ section on Game Pass across both PC and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

That’s a lot of gaming for the grand total price of absolutely nothing. In Remnant: From The Ashes (2019), you’re getting a high-rated story that’ll take you around 55 hours to finish, if you’re a completionist. In the case of the follow-up title, Remnant II, you’re looking at around 75 hours for a completionist run.

There’s nothing better than free, right? It’s perhaps a concept that’s enhanced by having absolutely no idea that the ‘free thing’ is going to suddenly pop up for you to take advantage of.
