Is Cult of the Lamb on Xbox Game Pass? answered

Xbox Game Pass has become such a mainstay in the gaming industry that some consumers tend to expect or hope that the next anticipated indie game will hit Microsoft’s subscription service. Cult of the Lamb’s striking visual style and horror vibes mixed with cute creatures has caught the attention of many. For the cautiously optimistic folks, will Cult of the Lamb be playable on Xbox Game Pass?

Can you play Cult of the Lamb on Xbox Game Pass?

Cult of the Lamb will not appear on Xbox Game Pass after the August 11 release date. This isn’t entirely surprising as you can’t expect every game to come to the service despite its history of major releases and sleeper hits. After all, Microsoft pays developers for every game that appears on the service.

For those looking to purchase Cult of the Lamb, it will be playable on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The gameplay and structure of Cult of the Lamb

Cult of the Lamb is a roguelite action-adventure game in which you play the role of a possessed lamb saved from death. In order to repay your debts, you must recruit a loyal following by venturing through the game’s four regions. As a roguelite, expect the world to be randomly generated. Spreading the good news about your lamb cult will involve tons of bloodshed, including boss battles against rival cult leaders. Eventually, along the journey, you’ll gather resources that you can use to build things for your community of loyal followers. Other cult-like activities include sermons and demonic rituals.

About the Cult of the Lamb developer

While Cult of the Lamb might exude The Binding of Isaac vibes for some, there is no connection between the titles. Developer Massive Monster’s portfolio consists of smaller releases that have slipped under the radar for most consumers. The studio has launched Unicycle Giraffe, Never Give Up, and The Adventure Pals, with the first game on this list remaining exclusive to mobile platforms.
