It was then delayed indefinitely, before eventually getting a July 29 release date, where it’d launch as part of the Xbox Game Pass library.
The Ascent has been on my radar since the second it was confirmed as a game that supports local multiplayer.
First, two of my roommates and I tried to get a local co-op game going on launch dayThursday.We were able to load single-player games individually without issue, buthen we tried to start a local co-op lobby—in various permutations of party makeup—The Ascent would close.
So, last night, we tried to get our game going again.For a 12 man team and their first release, it’s honestly a ton of fun and not as buggy as many Triple A releases at launch, but I have only been playing the PC version and I know the Gamepass (even on PC it is the Xbox App version, and different from the Steam version) and Xbox version have had issues.Â
