What Mistfall Hunter Offers
Mistfall Hunter is an unusual blend of genres, combining action RPG mechanics with an extraction gameplay structure in a multiplayer-only format. The game sits in the PvPvE space, meaning players face both enemy creatures and rival players during each run. Each session is built around repeatable expeditions where caution and greed exist in constant tension, carrying too much from a run risks losing everything, but pushing deeper multiplies the potential rewards significantly.
The game is set against a bleak dark fantasy backdrop that draws clear visual and tonal comparisons to the Soulsborne genre. The world is one where the gods have died and the remnants of humanity are left to navigate the chaos that follows. That foundation gives the extraction loop a distinct atmosphere that separates it from more neutral or brightly lit games in the same structural category.
Access to Mistfall Hunter through Game Pass is currently limited to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. The game supports cross-platform multiplayer between console and PC, meaning Game Pass players on both platforms can share sessions. There is no dedicated single-player mode, though players can enter matches alone once the tutorial has been completed. Solo runs are possible but inherently more dangerous, since players may still encounter other individuals or full groups during a session.
What Else Is Happening With Xbox Game Pass This Month
Mistfall Hunter's arrival is bookended by some notable departures from the service on July 31. Celeste and Crusader Kings 3, two of the highest-rated titles in the Game Pass catalogue, are both leaving on that date. My Friendly Neighborhood and Back to the Dawn are also departing alongside four other titles, representing a meaningful reduction in the catalogue's critical profile heading into August. The arrivals and departures together paint a picture of an active month for the subscription service, one that has seen a steady stream of new content added while also losing some of its most acclaimed long-standing entries. For subscribers considering Mistfall Hunter, it is available now through the relevant Game Pass tiers and ready to play on both Xbox and PC.
