The Alters has joined the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate content catalog. This day-one title is the seventh new addition to Microsoft's subscription service in June 2025 and the 68th Xbox Game Pass Ultimate release since the start of the year.
The Alters is a sci-fi survival game made by 11 Bit Studios, a Polish developer with several highly acclaimed titles to its name. The Warsaw-based company made a name for itself with This War of Mine, a 2014 survival strategy game that won over 100 awards. Since then, the studio launched the Victorian city builder Frostpunk and its sequel in 2018 and 2024, respectively. Both were met with a highly favorable response from fans and critics alike, with Frostpunk 2 even winning the Best Sim / Strategy Game honor at The Game Awards 2024.
The Alters is a cerebral, thought-provoking, and beefy story-driven survival game, and undoubtedly 11 Bit Studios' magnum opus.
Following several The Alters delays, the latest title from the award-winning studio has at last launched for PC, consoles, and Xbox Game Pass this Friday, June 13. Looking at its early critical reception, The Alters is the highest-rated day-one addition to Microsoft's content...
