Today marks the exciting arrival of “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” on Xbox Game Pass, ushering in yet another dice-rolling RPG escapade with its own set of achievements. If you were a fan of the original game, you’re in for a treat as this sequel makes its debut on the platform, stepping out from our anticipated Game Pass lineup to join its predecessor in the gaming service.
“Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” is now available on both Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. With 30 achievements up for grabs, worth a total of 1,000 Gamerscore, the game is playable on Xbox Series X|S and PC. This continuation from the stellar 2022 release “Citizen Sleeper” brings back the beloved tabletop-esque narrative gameplay, weaving your destiny through the roll of a dice. This final addition to January’s Game Pass portfolio is set against the backdrop of the derelict space station, Erlin’s Eye.
In “Citizen Sleeper 2,” you embody a sleeper—a digital person living in an artificial body. Hunted by a gang that wants to dominate you and the corporation that birthed you, your survival hinges on your choices: select a class, tailor your skills, forge alliances, assemble a crew, seize a ship, and tackle various contracts.
After reprogramming yourself to break free from captivity, you find yourself a fugitive with a broken body, a reward placed on you, and a void where your memories once were. The roll of the dice is your ally, aiding you in managing glitches, coping with stress, absorbing damage, and navigating the complexities of challenging contracts. Fellow Traveller has built upon the original game’s mechanics, offering even greater agency over your character’s destiny.
In terms of achievements, “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” boasts 30 to unlock, worth 1,000 Gamerscore, many shrouded as secrets—so proceed with caution to avoid spoilers. Achieving full completion will demand a thorough playthrough on the Dangerous difficulty setting.
While it’s too soon to declare if “Citizen Sleeper 2” will earn a spot among the best Xbox RPGs, the first game provided plenty of enjoyment, leaving room for hope. Are you planning to explore the depths of Erlin’s Eye in this sequel? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!
