Game Pass has been quiet in the last couple of weeks, understandable given we’re just after the holidays. But if you’re on the game subscription service, or thinking of getting on it this year in 2023, you can expect these titles to drop day-1 on Game Pass:
- Starfield
- Redfall
- Forza Motorsport (2023)
- Minecraft Legends
- Party Animals
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
- Monster Hunter Rise
- Atomic Heart
- Hollow Knight Silksong
- Lies Of P
- Ark 2
- Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
- The Last Case Of Bennedict Fix
- Flintlock: The Siege Of Dawn
The first four are Xbox Game Studio’s first-party efforts. Bethesda’s sci-fi open-world (open galaxy?) RPG Starfield and Arkane’s open-world co-op game (that hopefully still has some immersive sim elements) Redfall are the two main highlights, given they were initially set for release last year before a delay pushed them to 2023.
Xbox is offering their major first-party titles on Game Pass day-1 on launch, which should make for an appealing offer. Though their first-party efforts are no match to the likes Sony’s PlayStation Studios can offer in the AAA space.
Players in Malaysia and other select countries in Southeast Asia can now subscribe to PC Game Pass.
