So, sure, GamePass is reasonably successful for what it is — but it definitely hasn’t changed the world like Netflix did to Hollywood. People are still mostly buying new games, sometimes even still on a disc from Best Buy or Walmart. Streaming a game to your phone or TV over the cloud remains pretty niche.

If Microsoft succeeds, Game Pass could come to Sony's PlayStation and give players a way to play Xbox's games on rival platforms for the first time.

The Xbox Game Pass content catalog receives two more February 2025 titles, only one of which is available on the Standard tier.

Microsoft has announced its line-up of Xbox Game Pass titles for the latter half of February. This begins with Avowed, which Microsoft also noted down in its list for the first half of the month too. Hmm! Otherwise, there's a thin selection of other titles on offer. Well, you're probably still playing with your fungus hero anyway.

It's that time when Microsoft pulls back the veil and reveals the next video game set for their Xbox Game Pass service.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass get EA Sports F1 24 on February 2024. Standard tier and up subscribers get Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader on February 20 and Watch Dogs: Legion on February 25.

Xbox Game Pass is set to lose two critically acclaimed Yakuza games, along with half a dozen other titles at the end of February 2025.

In addition to these new arrivals, nine games will leave Xbox Game Pass in late February 2025, including the likes of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Maneater and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. They'll be discounted by at least 20% until they're removed from the service.
