Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge joins Xbox Game Pass Essential
Aerial combat game Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is now included with Xbox Game Pass Essential and PC Game Pass. Previously exclusive to Xbox consoles, today's announcement is part of a broader effort to bring classic Xbox titles to PC and PC-based handhelds.

Developed by FASA Studio, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge launched for Xbox in 2003 with fast-paced aerial dogfighting, plane customization, and multiplayer support. Set in the 1930s in an alternate history timeline, airplanes are common forms of transportation and air pirates are a constant threat to pilots across North and South America.

Inspired by 1930s-era swing, big band, and cinematic orchestral styles, the Original Soundtrack 2020 Remaster is available for streaming on composer Stan LePard's SoundCloud channel. The 54-track orchestral soundtrack was recorded with the Northwest Sinfonia in Seattle, conducted by Adam Stern.

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge is available for Xbox One and Series X|S consoles with backwards compatibility, published by Microsoft Game Studios. On PC and supported handhelds, graphics settings can be customized for up to 4x resolution upscaling, with improved anti-aliasing.


From the Xbox product page:
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge combines thrilling aerial combat with the swashbuckling style of a Hollywood action-adventure movie. Set in an alternate 1930s world of gunship diplomacy and sinister intrigue, Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge lets you pilot powerful aircraft against nefarious air pirates and behemoth war zeppelins.
