As part of its decidedly leisurely ID@Xbox indie showcase this evening, Microsoft confirmed another batch of titles heading to Game Pass between now and some currently unspecified future point, including Stardew Valley and nefarious management sequel Evil Genius 2.<\/p>\n

Stardew Valley developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone popped up midway through tonight’s showcase for a bit of a natter, confirming toward the end of the segment that his much-loved village life sim would be heading to Game Pass for PC and Xbox some time this autumn.<\/p>\n

Also still awaiting a Game Pass arrival date is the adorable Pupperazzi, a first-person photography game that – as you may have already surmised from its title – tasks players with taking cute snaps of (and petting!) canines as they go about their doggy lives in a colourful holiday paradise.
