Microsoft has announced the next wave of additions to the Xbox Game Pass catalog, and they include multiple day-one new releases, one of which is out today, February 21.
The FPS Atomic Heart is out now on console, cloud, and PC. The game has been criticized for its connection to Russia and the war in Ukraine. Composer Mick Gordon donated his fee from the game to the Red Cross’ Ukraine appeal.
My musical contribution to #AtomicHeart will also support a greater cause. I’ve donated my fee to @RedCrossAU’s Ukraine Crisis Appeal to stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
If you’re able to, please consider donating.
Together we can make a difference. #SupportUkraine pic.twitter.com/ADVZiWafw8— Mick Gordon (@Mick_Gordon) February 14, 2023
