Microsoft has confirmed the second wave of February games for Xbox Game Pass, which also stretches a little further into March. Between February 22 and March 5, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to claim 6 new games, although one of them is an addition to the Cloud Gaming platform.
Xbox Game Pass is trucking along so far in the new year, as this reveal follows the addition of two new games to the service. On February 20, Xbox Game Pass added Tales of Arise and Return to Grace to the service. The former is a beloved entry in the 'Tales of' JRPG franchise, launching to excellent reviews, and the latter is an indie game where players are a space archaeologist in search of Grace, an AI that was once more akin to a god. Xbox Game Pass is not one to rest on its laurels, however.
Recently Added Xbox Game Pass Game Is a Big Hit
A recently added Xbox Game Pass game becomes a huge hit on Microsoft's subscription service and achieves an important milestone.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also be able to claim Bluey: The Videogame on February 22, Maneater and Madden NFL 24 (Cloud) on February 27, Indivisible on February 28, Space Engineers on February 29, and Warhammer 40K: Boltgun on March 5. There are a few things of note here. First, this is the Cloud Game Pass (via EA Play) release for Madden NFL 24 because it came to PC and console Game Pass earlier this month. Secondly, this is a return to Xbox Game Pass for Maneater and Indivisible.
Xbox Game Pass New Games for February and March
- Bluey: The Videogame (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 22
- Maneater (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 27*
- Madden NFL 24 (Cloud) EA Play – February 27**
- Indivisible (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 28*
- Space Engineers (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 29
- Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun (Cloud, Console, and PC) – March 5
- Diablo 4 (PC and Console) - March 28
*These games are returning to the Xbox Game Pass library
**This addition is specifically for Cloud; other versions were already available.
It remains to be seen what comes to Xbox Game Pass afterward, but there are a few things of note. Inkulinati has been available on Game Preview with Xbox and is exiting that Early Access period on February 22. It is playable on PC and Xbox Game Pass as well. Secondly, Microsoft confirmed not too long ago that Diablo 4 is coming to Xbox Game Pass on March 28, and it'll be interesting to see at what pace other Activision Blizzard games follow it.
It's only February, and it's clear how big of a year Xbox Game Pass has ahead of it. For example, it feels likely that Call of Duty 2024 will launch on Xbox Game Pass, and given how that series always tops sales charts, its performance on the service is likely to be phenomenal. That's a ways away, of course, and February and March have plenty to offer in the coming days.
