Xbox One will be racing, investigating, and surviving in this week’s Xbox Games Store update…
Codemasters has dropped the checkered flag on F1 2018, which is now available to download for the Xbox One. The racing game includes new options in the Career Mode and the complete schedule for the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship.
Also available to download this week for the Xbox One is Shenmue I & II, a re-release of both games in Sega’s RPG/adventure/life simulation series.
Finally this week, Cheerdealers will bring Distrust to the Xbox One. The roguelike isometric survival game takes place in the arctic and was heavily inspired by John Carpenter’s The Thing.
