The Just Cause series consists of over-the-top third-person action games which revolve around destroying everything in your path. While the titles may not have the best stories, they're a lot of fun to play because the goal is to constantly blow up buildings and vehicles. Just Cause 4 continues this tradition. According to numerous reports on Reddit and other forms of social media, Just Cause 4 is available on Xbox Game Pass right now. This is somewhat of a surprise because the game launched a few months ago. Usually you have to wait another couple of months for these "AAA" blockbusters to make an appearance. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service which costs $10 every month. It gives you immediate access to over a hundred games on your Xbox One or Xbox One X.
