Xbox Game Pass Adds Two More Day-One Games for 2025
Xbox Game Pass continues to expand its lineup, with two more games confirmed as day-one releases for 2025. One of the biggest perks of Game Pass is getting access to brand-new games without needing to buy them separately. For dedicated gamers, the service practically pays for itself by offering multiple day-one releases every month.
So far, 2025 has already delivered some major Game Pass titles. January wrapped up with Sniper Elite: Resistance, Eternal Strands, and Citizen Sleeper 2—the latter standing out as one of the year’s top-rated releases. February’s highlight is Avowed, arriving on February 18, followed by Atomfall on March 27, South of Midnight on April 8, and Doom: The Dark Ages on May 15.
Two More Day-One Titles Join Game Pass
Now, Xbox has confirmed that Blue Prince and Abiotic Factor both previously announced for PS Plus Extra will also be day-one additions to Xbox Game Pass.
- Blue Prince is a first-person puzzle game set to launch in Spring 2025.
- Abiotic Factor is a co-op survival game for up to six players, scheduled for Summer 2025.

Beyond these, there are still more major titles expected in 2025, including the long-awaited Fable reboot from Playground Games and the dark, Soulslike action RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. If everything stays on schedule, 2025 is shaping up to be one of the strongest years for Xbox Game Pass yet.
