On June 25, Abyssus joins Xbox Game Pass, carrying with it the goodwill it earned among PC players — a first-person shooter built around cooperation, roguelite replayability, and the haunting beauty of submerged ruins. It is a small but telling moment in the ongoing story of how subscription services are reshaping which games find their audience, and when.
