Xbox Game Pass currently has five games already confirmed for July 2022, with more potentially being revealed this coming week. As it stands, though, there’s only one more Xbox Game Pass title being added between now and then.

On June 28, Escape Academy will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on consoles day one. Unlike big-name Ubisoft titles that have joined Game Pass recently, Escape Academy may not be a name on the tip of every tongue, but its unique premise is incredibly promising. In short, it’s a series of digital escape rooms compounded within a unique “academic” setting.

Escape Academy on Xbox Game Pass

The story of Escape Academy is pretty straightforward—players are a student who has just arrived at the academy. It is a school that trains students to become the ultimate Escapist, with gameplay focused on a dozen of handcrafted escape rooms. Each room is designed by experts in the field of real Escape Rooms, giving fans all the more challenge and reward.

Players will need to sort, find and use items, figure out codes, and more to make their way through the Escape Academy’s challenges, and what’s more, they are able to do so in single-player or co-op, local or online. Indeed, Escape Academy is perhaps among the most interesting of all the co-op games that have come to Xbox Game Pass as of late.

Beyond that, Escape Academy players will be able to meet the faculty, other students, and otherwise a wide cast of characters—all of whom are experts in this field. It adds a nice little touch of social RPG mechanics to the game, complete with whacky scenarios and escape rooms. Players could have to defuse a bomb before a cup of tea goes cold, compete against a school nemesis in a toe-to-toe puzzle race, or scramble to the top of a build that is rapidly filling with water.

Overall, it’s an interesting premise and one worth watching for fans of social RPGs, escape rooms, co-op games, and/or puzzle games. It brings out a little of all those in Escape Academy. It’ll be interesting to see how Escape Academy is received on Game Pass with its day one launch, but previews have been promising and it seemingly checks all the right boxes for a great, if smaller, Game Pass title. It’s not a long wait, no matter what, before fans can judge for themselves.
