Today’s Xbox Games Store update is brought to you by the letter “D.”
Coffee Stain Publishing and Ghost Ship Games will bring Deep Rock Galactic to the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs through Microsoft’s Game Preview program. Players can also pick up the co-op RTS, featuring “badass space Dwarves,” on both platforms thanks to the Xbox Play Anywhere program.
Also now available for the Xbox One is Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Edition, a gothic roguelike that brings “the psychological stresses of adventuring” to the turn-based RPG genre. If you’re looking for something lighter, Xbox One owners can also download THQ Nordic’s colorful platformer, De Blob 2.
There’s no “D” in Bridge Constructor Portal, but there is in GLaDOS, and Xbox One owners will once again go toe-to-toe with the rogue AI in this bridge construction puzzler that’s crossed over into the Portal universe.
You can learn more about the rest of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.
Now Available on Xbox Games Store – 2/28/18 [Major Nelson]
