Humble, has recently launched a new Xbox-themed bundle that offers eight Xbox-published PC games on Steam.

Humble – Xbox Game Studios Bundle£3.90 / £7.80 |
The bundle is available in two forms, the aforementioned £7.80 bundle and a cheaper £3.90 bundle with fewer games.
The £3.90 offer will get you the following trio:
- Broken Age
- Sunset Overdrive
- Battletoads
However, when spending £7.80 or more, you’ll be offered all eight of the following games:
- Wasteland 3
- Quantum Break
- As Dusk Falls
- Ori and the Will of the Wisps
- Age of Empires: Definitive Edition
- Broken Age
- Sunset Overdrive
- Battletoads
The latest offering works the same as always. In exchange for a set amount, or whatever you feel like paying beyond the minimum, you’ll get the advertised selection of games, and the proceeds from your purchase will go towards supporting a charity.
In this case, this bundle has so far raised over £43K for Gameheads, a charity based in Oakland, California, to help train low-income youth in game development design, and DevOps.
As for the games included, a highlight for those who may have missed out on the Xbox One exclusive is a certain well-received 2014 rail-riding action-adventure by Insomniac Games, Sunset Overdrive. In Eurogamer’s review, Christian Donlan, called it “wonderfully lurid and heartfelt”. Hardly surprising from the developer of the modern Spider-Man games.
In our Ori and the Will of the Wisps review, Vikki Blake “adored the gentle storytelling and the ethereal atmosphere and the melancholy”. Despite some of the technical troubles it had on release — part of the reason she gave it three out of five stars, it’s still “an unmitigated pleasure to play”.
As Dusk Falls is one of the most recently released games in the bundle. Developed by Interior Night, it’s an adventure game focused on interactive storytelling, focusing on a multi-generational tale between families. Our own Robert Purchese gave it four out of five stars in our As Dusk Falls review, saying it “represents a bold new future for interactive movie games – a future where games can do away with the supernatural spectacle and thrillery whodunnits to rely on human drama to entertain us instead”.
