Somehow, the Xbox Game Pass announcements are still coming in thick and fast even after 2024's Xbox Games Showcase, so we thought it a good time to update and refresh our massive list of all the upcoming Game Pass games to see where we stand for 2024 and beyond. This round-up is a beast, as we've included everything that has an Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass release date, games with broader release windows, and those that haven't yet had any release window confirmed.

With Microsoft's regular Game Pass announcements and release dates flying in from all sides, this list has yet again had a good old shuffle around. Take a look through to see all the games coming to Game Pass over the next few years, ranging from the long-awaited arrival of AAA hits to day-one additions of intriguing new indie titles.

We make sure to keep this article updated as more announcements are made and as games hit the service, so be sure to keep an eye on it!

Magical Delicacy is set to launch into Game Pass on July 16.

Flock

It charts the tale of Captain Leeway and his Steambots crew as they fight their way across the waves to find out what's behind a new danger in the Great Sea. As you might expect from an ocean adventure, there's a big focus on real-time naval combat as well as other captain duties such as organising and expanding your crew, whiling away time in bars, making off with loot, and more.

Sopa

Narrative adventure game Sopa is set to come to Game Pass in August, although we don't yet have a specific day. In Sopa, Miho heads to the pantry on a seemingly simple mission to get a potato for his grandma's soup, and is instead taken to a strange land — what's more, every time he manages to make it back to the kitchen with another ingredient, things have somehow changed.

September 2024

Star Trucker

Star Trucker is a truck sim set in space, where you’ll be doing a lot: completing long hauls and drop-offs, trading, managing your systems to make sure you don’t perish in space, deciding whether to transport contraband, upgrading your truck to reach new areas, and listening to all the space trucker goings-on on your interactive radio. It lands on Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass as a day-one addition on September 3.

Retro sci-fi 2D adventure Replaced has now been delayed into 2024. We’ll play as Reach, an AI trapped in a human body, and will explore and fight our way through Phoenix City. The pixel art here is some next-level stuff...

Pigeon Simulator

Pigeon Simulator asks you to "Become a pigeon. Poop on everyone. Destroy everything," when it comes to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass at some point in 2024. Not only are you a pigeon, you're apparently a time-traveling pigeon, who's been sent through time to thwart a goose. Chaos!

Ghost Bike

Ghost Bike was revealed during a recent Annapurna Interactive Showcase as an adventure game in which you play as "a streetwise kid from Freehub City on a mission to revive the last of the Ghost Bikes" — those who can traverse between the living world and the world of the dead. It's set to hit Game Pass in 2024.

Ark II

Survival game Ark II has seen a big delay — instead of launching in 2023 as originally planned, Ark II will now launch at the end of 2024, when it will star Vin Diesel as Santiago and Auli'i Cravalho as his daughter Meeka. Expect it to expand heavily on the scale and scope of its popular dino-packed predecessor.

2025

Winter Burrow

One unexpectedly cozy announcement from Xbox Games Showcase 2024 was Winter Burrow, which comes to Xbox Game Pass in early 2025 as a woodland survival game about a small mouse and their efforts to restore their childhood home, survive the wilds, and find out what happened to their missing Aunt.

Sleight of Hand

Previously the first lonely entry into the "2025" section of this list, Sleight of Hand hits Game Pass next year, bringing an interesting mix of deckbuilding and stealth action, magic, the occult, and more.

Here’s one we’ve been waiting for for a while: Fable was announced back in 2020 as a “new beginning for the legendary franchise” with “fantastical creatures and wondrous places,” and after a long wait, we now have confirmation that it'll launch in 2025 when it will join Xbox Game Pass on day one. In the meantime, check out our round-up of everything we know about Fable!

Doom: The Dark Ages heads to Xbox Game Pass in 2025 as a single-player action FPS prequel to Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, telling the story of the Doom Slayer and the war against Hell.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a new turn-based RPG, inspired by Belle Époque France and charting the story of Expedition 33 as they fight to defeat the Paintress to stop her from “painting death.” It looks beautiful, creepy, and all kinds of intriguing, and comes to Game Pass in 2025.

Atomfall

Survival-action game Atomfall is set to come to Xbox Game Pass on day one in 2025. Set in Britain, Atomfall is inspired by a real nuclear disaster which took place in 1957, and “blends post-war Britain with Cold War paranoia, folk horror, and elements of classic British sci-fi like Day of the Triffids, Doctor Who and The Prisoner, to create an immersive and thrilling gameplay experience.”

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Soulslike action-RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers was also announced during the Xbox Games Showcase as a day-one Game Pass addition arriving in 2025. Set in the Ming Dynasty, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers sees us play as pirate warrior Bai Wuchang, who is cursed with “Ornithropy.”

As they head to their last party, we play through some of the most important moments of their friendship.

"Coming soon"

Nirvana Noir

Noir adventure game Nirvana Noir is currently set as "coming soon" to Game Pass, and it sounds like a chaotic one.

It’s up to you to solve the mysteries of the Bigger Bang in this follow up to the award-winning Genesis Noir."

Keplerth

Volcano Princess, a parenting-sim-RPG adventure, is also coming "soon" to Game Pass, asking us to raise the next monarch of the Volcano Kingdom.

Unknown

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight, so it’s great to hear that it’s coming to Xbox Game Pass at launch, even though we don’t have a specific release date yet. If you like Ori but wish the games were darker and more challenging, keep an eye on this (and go play the original in the meantime, it's ace).

Vapor World

Action-adventure platforming game Vapor World — which looks to have a similar feel to Lies of P — doesn't yet have a release date, but is set to come to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass at launch.

Clockwork Revolution

Clockwork Revolution was announced during the Xbox Games Showcase as a steampunk first-person RPG and a big project for developer inXile entertainment. The announce trailer has a Bioshock look about it, but we don't yet have a release date or window for this one.

Contraband

Contraband was announced as a "co-op smuggler’s paradise set in the fictional world of 1970s Bayan" — we don't yet have a release date for this one, which seems a little way off yet, but we'll keep an eye out.

Gears of War: E-Day

One surprise announcement from 2024’s Xbox Games Showcase was Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel which takes place 14 years before Gears of War and follows Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago as they battle the Locust Horde. There’s no release window for this one yet, but it’ll come to Xbox Game Pass on day one.

Harmonium The Musical

Harmonium The Musical is a narrative adventure and an interactive sign language musical. Announced at The Game Awards 2023, it was confirmed as coming to Game Pass on day one, but doesn't yet have a release date.

Neon White

Neon White is a "single-player speedrunning FPS" about the assassin from Hell, White, who's given a chance to live in Heaven. It's set to come to Xbox Game Pass at some point, but we don't have a date yet.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector

Citizen Sleeper's sequel, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, doesn't yet have a release date, but is set to come to Xbox Game Pass at launch, when it'll see you gathering a crew, manning a ship, and navigating the Starward Belt.

Everwild

Everwild, revealed back in 2019, is another one that seems to have disappeared after its announcement, although a report suggested Everwild is targeting a 2024 release after being “restarted from scratch”. We’ve heard no official update on when Everwild might emerge, so here it goes, into the “unknown” section.

TO A T

TO A T is a narrative adventure game which comes from Katamari Damacy game designer Keita Takahashi about a teenager (called Teen) with "an odd posture" as they go through life in their small town, attending school and dealing with bullies, until a new ability changes everything.

Bushiden

Bushiden is an action-adventure game with platforming elements — details are pretty scarce at the moment but it seems that in Bushiden we are dealing both with the disappearance of our sister and the fact that the evil Gaoh has returned with an "cybergentic army" which we'll need to defeat. It was confirmed back in 2021 that Bushiden would join Xbox Game Pass on day one, but we don't yet know a release date.

Marauders

Marauders is described as a first-person multiplayer sci-fi dieselpunk looter shooter where we play as a space pirate — it was meant to launch into Game Preview for PC Game Pass in 2022, but we've not yet heard word of a new release date.

Routine

First-person sci-fi horror game Routine was announced back in 2012, and then seemed to vanish until it was re-revealed back in June of this year. It’s set to join Xbox Game Pass at launch, whenever that launch may be.

Slime Rancher 2

Slime Rancher 2 is available in Game Preview/Early Access with Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass already, but if you're waiting to play until the achievements are added with the full release of the game, there's a bit longer to go — we don't yet have a concrete release date for when Slime Rancher 2 launches in full.

So, what do you think? Anything on there catch your eye, or take you by surprise? What do you think of the gaming horizon for Xbox Game Pass? Let us know what you think in the comments!
