Dragon Quest Builders 2 initially launched worldwide back in July 2019 on both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, hitting PC a few months later in December 2019 – but the game never made it to Xbox consoles. That’s about to change, however. A Microsoft store page appeared for Dragon Quest Builders 2 over the past 24 hours, noting that the RPG spinoff is coming to Xbox One and Xbox Game Pass (for console and PC) on May 3 (May 4 in Europe). Following the leak, Microsoft officially announced it, noting that the game is indeed coming to the subscription service (PC, Xbox, Cloud) in early May. If you’re not a member of Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ll be able to buy the game for $49.99 instead. In our Dragon Quest Builders 2 review, we called the game “an intoxicating blend of Minecraft and Dark Cloud that’s full of variety and charm,” and recommended it as a “must-buy”. It’s a no-brainer if you can make time to play the game via Microsoft’s subscription service instead, then. Our review round-up also demonstrated the quality of the game; it’s all 8s and 9s, with some very complimentary language in there. If you are keen on picking up this unique and interesting title, we have a Dragon Quest Builders 2 room and set recipe guide that’ll help you get a grounding in how crafting and creating things works.
