Xbox Cloud Gaming Service
For Long Journeys Home: "Vampire Survivors"
With Family and Relatives: "Minecraft Dungeons"
For Solo Play: "P's Lie", "Persona 4 Golden"
With the Chuseok holiday approaching, many people are considering how to spend their time in various situations, such as long journeys, family gatherings, or moments alone. In this context, cloud gaming services-which allow users to play high-performance games remotely without owning a console or PC-are drawing attention. Microsoft's gaming brand Xbox has offered tailored game recommendations for the holiday period through its cloud gaming service.
Xbox Cloud Gaming, released as a beta service, is provided as part of the highest-tier game subscription service, Game Pass Ultimate. It allows users to instantly play hundreds of high-quality games via streaming without installation. Since there are no storage concerns or installation wait times, anyone can easily explore and experience new games without hesitation.
The service supports a variety of devices, including consoles, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and select Samsung and LG smart TVs. This means users can conveniently enjoy games on devices they already own, even without a console. The game library includes a wide range of genres, from blockbuster titles to indie games, allowing users to choose according to their preferences. With cross-device multiplayer functionality, it is also possible to play together with family, relatives, or friends who are far away.
If you want to relieve the boredom of a long journey home, "Vampire Survivors" is recommended. This thrilling gothic horror casual game features minimalist gameplay and roguelite elements. As you upgrade weapons and fight for survival against hordes of dark creatures, the long hours on buses and trains will pass by in no time.
"Octopath Traveler II" can also add to the enjoyment. It is the second title in Square Enix's globally acclaimed Octopath Traveler series. With enhanced HD-2D graphics-a blend of 2D pixel art and 3D environments-you can follow the adventures of eight unique travelers on the new continent of Solistia. Immersing yourself in the narrative adventure characteristic of Japanese-style role-playing games will make the journey home even more memorable.
If you want to have a fun time with family and relatives, "Minecraft Dungeons" is a great choice. Inspired by classic dungeon crawlers and set in the Minecraft universe, this action-adventure game allows up to four players to explore treasure-filled dungeons and cooperate to battle various villainous mobs.
"Overcooked! 2," a party cooking action game where you form a team of chefs in the Onion Kingdom, is also worth considering. Players cooperate to prepare dishes such as sushi, cakes, and burgers on a variety of maps, adding laughter and excitement for all generations through solid teamwork.
For users who want to fully enjoy their time alone, "P's Lie" and "Persona 4 Golden" are recommended. "P's Lie" is an action RPG by Neowiz that reinterprets the Pinocchio fairy tale as a dark drama. Set in the Belle ?poque era, it follows the protagonist P on a journey to help Geppetto resolve a tragedy and become human, offering a dark fantasy world and highly immersive combat.
"Persona 4 Golden" is a flagship title from Atlus that has been beloved by gamers worldwide for its youthful school days atmosphere and unique RPG battles. As you unravel the mystery behind a series of murders in a rural town, you can experience a sense of calm immersion through its distinctive narrative and warm character relationships.
If you want to spend time with a friend who is far away, "Gears of War: Reloaded" is a suitable choice. This remastered version of the blockbuster "Gears of War" supports cross-play, allowing you to form squads and enjoy cooperative battles with friends regardless of device. The remaster includes all content added since the original release, providing an even richer experience.
