Xbox users can now grab Wasteland Remastered for free. The game is available as a limited-time offer, and you do not need an Xbox Game Pass subscription to claim it. Once you add the game to your account, it stays there permanently. You do not have to download it right away. You can install and play it anytime later.
Wasteland Remastered was released in 2020 by inXile Entertainment and Krome Studios. It is a remake of the original 1988 game, which is considered one of the most important RPGs ever made.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It also inspired the popular Fallout series that launched years later.
The remastered version brings improved visuals but keeps the original gameplay mostly unchanged. Because of this, it received mixed reviews. Some players liked the classic experience, while others felt it still felt outdated.
Still, it is a good option for players who enjoy old-school RPGs or want to explore the roots of modern games like Fallout. There is no official end date for this offer. So it is better to claim the game as soon as possible before it is removed.
The game usually costs $14.99 on the Xbox Store, so this is a good chance to get it for free. It works on Xbox One and can also be played on Xbox Series X and Series S through backward compatibility. PC players can also access it through their Xbox account.
