Xbox Game Pass has well over 100 games for subscribers to try at any time, and many of those titles are actually pretty good. Some of the industry’s most critically acclaimed games can be played through Xbox Game Pass, and it seems like the service will add another critical darling to the mix, if an early rating is any indication.
edge magazine is a UK based gaming magazine and one of the oldest gaming magazines in the industry, first published in 1993. Thanks to its print format edge The magazine occasionally breaks embargo dates on certain games when subscribers get their copies early, and that’s the case with Sam Barlow immortalitya new game releasing on August 30th as a Day One Game Pass title.
According to readers who received their copy of the next edge Magazine issue early, Sam Barlow’s immortality earned the magazine’s coveted perfect 10/10 score. This sets immortality in elite company, to say the least. Since edge Magazine started in 1993, only 23 other games have achieved a perfect score. The first game was SuperMario 64and earlier this year FromSoftware’s elden ring also received a perfect 10/10 score from the magazine.

The perfect score of 10/10 is of course just a release’s opinion, but considering how rare it is edge gives such a high rating, that’s a good sign immortality will be a big deal when it launches later this month. And since immortality is a day-one Xbox Game Pass game, it should really add value to Microsoft’s subscription service.
For those unfamiliar with Sam Barlow’s work, he previously did the award-winning Your historywhich was followed tell lies. Both were FMV games and both were praised for their acting and story, so fans can expect similar quality immortality. But during Your history and tell lies were more mystery thriller games, immortality should lean more into horror elements.
in the immortalityplayers must solve the mystery behind the disappearance of actress Marissa Marcel. To do this, they have to look at excerpts from Marcel’s films and other materials. In terms of gameplay, it sounds like the game should definitely appeal to fans of Your history and tell lies. It will be interesting to see how other releases react to the game once it launches as a day one Xbox Game Pass title later this month.
