Something to look forward to: The Medium arrives in just over one week, and the good news for Xbox Game Pass for PC subscribers is that the psychological horror will be available on the service from launch day---January 28. With that date fast approaching, developer Blooper Team has released a new trailer and an updated PC requirements list.

The trailer explains that protagonist Marianne has heightened senses that allow her to discover hidden objects, such as a switch hidden behind a wall. She can also examine items to learn about a place or event from the past.

Crossing into the spirit world---The Medium's flagship feature---Marianne can reconstruct soul fragments to find out what the soul said or thought at that exact moment. She can also communicate with the lost souls on this plane. Additionally, the trailer shows Troy Baker-voiced antagonist The Maw make an (invisible) appearance in the real world.

As for specs, the game follows the current trend of listing multiple options, including ray tracing. You might notice that they all target 30 fps, but Blooper Team says users will be able to unlock the framerate from the graphics menu.
