10/10 Open-World Xbox Game Pass Game Officially Getting New Content

Xbox Game Pass has plenty of open-world survival-crafting games, but The Planet Crafter stands out for its focus on building and transforming an entire world, and it's getting even more content on December 8. Already popular on Steam, The Planet Crafter joined Xbox Game Pass in July 2026, giving subscribers another highly rated open-world survival-crafting game to check out. The Planet Crafter players start with a hostile environment but gradually introduce oxygen, increase temperatures, and eventually bring life to the planet. New areas become available as conditions improve, while additional technologies allow for more ambitious building projects.
