THQ Nordic’s open-world adventure Biomutant received a mixed reception upon release, but it has its dedicated fans that enjoy its strange world and thrilling combat. It seems like a prime candidate for Xbox Game Pass, but did it make the list?
Is Biomutant on Xbox Game Pass?
At this time of writing, Biomutant is not on Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. While we think it’s likely to join at some point in the future, you are not able to play it through the subscription service currently.
Is Biomutant on any subscription service?
Yes, Biomutant can be played through EA Play Pro, which is a costly monthly subscription. However, this service is only available through EA’s portal on PC, not on Xbox. While it’s pricey, it is an attractive offer, as you can also play Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, as well as Biomutant.
Is Biomutant worth a purchase instead?
Biomutant offers a unique diversion from the likes of other open-world games like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry. Its landscape has plenty of charm, and the game itself seems inspired by the likes of Ratchet & Clank, the Batman: Arkham series, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This combination, according to our review, gives players “a fun and engaging title that more than lives up to the charm displayed in trailers and promotional materials.” We gave it an 8.5 out of 10, so we’d recommend you purchasing it at full price if you have the money.
