Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the latest game from Dark Souls studio From Software. It launched on Friday, March 22, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Normally $60, if you’re in the market for an Xbox One, you can get Sekiro for free right now. For a limited time, Newegg is including a free copy of Sekiro with a number of Xbox One consoles and bundles.

It’s a wicked good deal, especially when you consider that some of the consoles on Newegg already come with recently released games, too. In Sekiro, you play as a one-armed shinobi during Japan’s Sengoku period. Unlike Dark Souls and Bloodborne, the protagonist Wolf has fast movement speed and combat revolves around perfectly timed deflections and parries. If you like your action games brutally difficult, Sekiro is right up your alley.

Newegg has eight different Xbox One consoles and bundles that come with Sekiro right now.

Xbox One S 1TB Console

A white Xbox One S with 1TB of storage for $250. It doesn’t come with any additional games besides Sekiro.

Xbox One S 1TB Battlefield V Bundle

For $300, you’ll get the white Xbox One S bundled with Battlefield V and Sekiro.

Xbox One S 1TB The Division 2 Bundle

For $300, you’ll get the white Xbox One S bundled with The Division 2 and Sekiro. Considering The Division 2 also launched in March, this bundle offers the most bang for your buck.

Xbox One S 1TB Anthem Bundle

For $300, you can have the Xbox One S with Anthem and Sekiro. BioWare’s loot shooter launched with mixed reviews and some serious bugs and performance issues. Anthem can still be fun at times, but The Division 2 is a better loot shooter.

Xbox One X 1TB Console

The more powerful Xbox One X is available for $449 with Sekiro.

Xbox One X 1TB The Division 2 Bundle

For $500, you’ll get the Xbox One X with The Division 2 and Sekiro. This Xbox One X bundle is probably the best value as it comes with two recently released titles, both of which are very good.

Xbox One X 1TB NBA 2K19 Bundle

For $500, you can get the awesome Xbox One X alongside two incredibly different but great games: NBA 2K19 and Sekiro.

Xbox One X 1TB Metro: Exodus Bundle

This Xbox One X bundle comes with post-apocalyptic shooter Metro: Exodus and Sekiro.

Xbox Game Pass is getting tons of new games following Black Ops 6 success
A cockpit view in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

We know a lot of you are playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Xbox right now, but the company just announced some games coming to Xbox Game Pass -- specifically the Game Pass Standard tier -- in the first half of November.

The biggest game coming to the service (and we mean that literally) is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Xbox and developers Asobo Studio previously reported that it will have a smaller install size than its predecessor -- 127GB versus 157GB -- but it'll also require 64GB of RAM. All of this is to help stream immense detail to the player as they fly around the world. Asobo says helped it to increase "the detail of its virtual environment by a factor of 4,000." Alongside the hyperrealistic graphics is a new career mode where you go through training and missions to become a pilot and a challenge mode where you compete against other pilots. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is coming to Game Pass at launch on November 19.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was a monumental addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate last week, so no week of additions to the service will live up to that for a while. Still, that didn't stop some more games from trickling onto Microsoft's subscription service in the wake of the latest Call of Duty. In fact, the games that came to the service were quite good. If you're wondering what you should be checking out next as a Game Pass subscriber after you're done with Black Ops 6, consider trying one of these games.
Ashen
ASHEN | Gamescom 2018 Gameplay

In July, A44 released Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, and it was part of Xbox Game Pass from day one. Now, the studio has brought its previous Soulslike to the subscription service. Originally released in 2018, Ashen stood out from the crowd at the time thanks to its distinct, grayish cel-shaded look and open-world design years before Elden Ring came out. Ashen still stands as one of the best indie Soulslikes ever released, so those who have never played it before should give it a shot now that it's on Xbox Game Pass. It'll also make for an enjoyable Game Pass Soulslike double-feature with Flintlock.
