Microsoft is closing out the week with a big Xbox Games Store update and the launch of four new Xbox One games…
First up is Celeste, the new side-scrolling platformer from Matt Thorson. Unlike the multiplayer antics of his first game, TowerFall, Thorson has asked players to complete the jumps necessary to climb Celeste Mountain in his “super-tight, hand-crafted platformer.”
Also available to download today is Dragon Ball Fighter Z, a 2D fighting game set within the Dragon Ball universe. Developed by Arc System Works, Dragon Ball Fighter Z includes dozens of characters and an anime-like graphical style.
Massive battles are also at the center of Monster Hunter: World, which is also available to download today courtesy of Capcom. Players will be able to explore a brand new world by themselves or with up to three friends and fight it out with a diverse set of giant beasts.
Finally this week, Awesome Industries will launch the budget-priced Drift Zone, a racing game that’s all about drifting.
You can learn more about all of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
Now Available on Xbox Games Store – 1/26/18 [Major Nelson]
