The hilarious and oddly successful Goat Simulator game will soon be available on the Xbox One all-in-one entertainment system. Xbox One may be synonymous with slightly more slickly produced, big label video games, but it looks like the system is going a more populist route.
The Goat Simulator game is an extremely bizarre experience, as it essentially requires that you take control of a goat and cause all kinds of shenanigans, debauchery, tomfoolery and straight-up violence in an unsuspecting town.
The game is one among a long list of indie games that will be introduced to Xbox One. Others include the popular mobile game Threes, first-person shooter Super Hot and The Escapists.
The games will be added to Xbox One at some point this year, but fans of the Goat Simulator game will have to wait a little while longer to find out the exact dates as Microsoft hasn't revealed them just yet.
