New Descenders Next Launches on Game Pass

Developer RageSquid and publisher No More Robots unexpectedly released the extreme sports game Descenders Next today, July 21, making it available through Xbox Game Pass. Originally set for an April release, the game was delayed without prior notice. Players can also purchase Descenders Next on Steam and Xbox for $30 USD, but details regarding potential releases on PlayStation or Switch remain unannounced. This new installment expands the franchise beyond downhill biking to include snowboarding and mountainboarding, with plans to introduce additional sports in the future. It features online multiplayer modes, expansive open worlds to explore, and various progression elements. The game aims to provide a versatile extreme sports experience, with gameplay that emphasizes both speed and skillful tricks, along with scavenger hunts for specific rewards. The soundtrack is provided by Monstercat.

The surprise release of Descenders Next on Game Pass is a strategic move that targets a growing audience of extreme sports enthusiasts. By including the game in Game Pass, No More Robots removes a significant barrier for potential players, inviting new entrants to the franchise. This strategy not only boosts player engagement but also expands the reach of the Descenders brand. With its commitment to adding diverse sports and activities, Descenders Next aims to position itself as an all-encompassing extreme sports platform, yet it faces the challenge of maintaining player interest over time. As the gaming landscape becomes increasingly competitive, such innovative launches and the potential for future expansions will be crucial for success.
