Wheel World

Launch date: July 23 2025

Wheel World is a chaotic open-world platformer where you’re literally just… a wheel. But not just any wheel — one with a dream, a backstory, and a surprisingly tight control scheme. The game takes place in a stylized, physics-heavy landscape full of boost pads, ramps, bouncing hazards, and bizarre characters to roll past. You’ll unlock cosmetic upgrades, uncover secrets by flinging yourself into hard-to-reach places, and even find hidden story beats tucked inside absurd side quests. It’s silly on the surface but surprisingly polished underneath. Think Getting Over It with actual progression and vibes closer to Katamari Damacy. It’s a weird one — and that’s why it’s so fun.

For more details, visit the Wheel World game hub.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

Launch date: July 24 2025

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a dark, Soulslike action RPG set during the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. You play as a cursed warrior afflicted with a feathered plague, journeying through misty forests, burning villages, and ruined temples to uncover what’s real — and what’s rotting. The combat leans into deliberate, weighty strikes with traditional Chinese weaponry, and you’ll face off against monstrous, plague-mutated enemies drawn from folklore and nightmare. Expect exploration, hidden paths, NPC side quests, and a layered world design that rewards curiosity. With moody visuals and strong FromSoftware vibes, this is a major Game Pass get for fans of Lies of P or Sekiro.

Grounded 2

Launch date: July 29 2025

Grounded 2 picks up right where Obsidian’s backyard survival hit left off — only this time, the scale is even more ridiculous. Shrunk-down kids, once again trapped in a world of bugs and garden tools, now explore new biomes like under-the-shed labs, a sandbox kingdom, and an old terrarium gone wild. The base-building is deeper, the combat is tighter, and the campaign includes full co-op story support from the start. Whether you’re crafting weird weapons out of bottle caps or running from a mob of angry roly-polies, the balance of chaos and charm is spot on. If you liked the first game, this is a massive upgrade. If you missed it, Grounded 2 is a perfect starting point.

Gears of War: Reloaded

Gears of War: Reloaded is both a tribute and a reset — reimagining the original Gears formula with fresh tech, a new squad, and modernized mechanics while staying true to the gritty tone fans expect. The campaign explores untold events following the Lightmass bombing, with a new lead COG soldier and plenty of classic cameos woven in. Combat feels heavier and more reactive, with upgraded cover dynamics, brutal executions, and smarter enemy AI. Whether you’re here for solo storytelling or drop-in co-op chaos, it delivers that signature chainsaw‑bayonet energy in full.

Explore the full breakdown on the Gears of War: Reloaded game hub.

The Outer Worlds 2

2025 – Release Date TBA

Abiotic Factor

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Abiotic Factor is a cooperative sci-fi survival game set inside a top-secret research facility spiraling into chaos. You and your fellow scientists must scavenge supplies, craft makeshift tools, and build defensible shelters while surviving dimensional anomalies, hostile creatures, and your own team’s panic. It mixes the survival tension of The Forest with the chaotic teamwork of Lethal Company, letting players pick research specialties that influence how they solve problems. The tone walks a tightrope between darkly funny and straight-up terrifying — one minute you’re fashioning a weapon from a mop handle, the next you’re fighting off a lab-grown horror from beyond the veil.

Bounty Star

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Bounty Star blends third-person mech combat with base-building and personal drama in a dusty, post-post-apocalyptic future. You play as Clem — a broken ex-soldier trying to make a new life by hunting criminals in a red rock desert wasteland. You’ll pilot a customizable mech in stylish real-time battles, then return home to grow food, maintain your base, and process the weight of your past. It’s part western, part anime, part DIY sim — and surprisingly grounded for a game where you rocket-punch bandits with hydraulics. The game’s tone is melancholy but hopeful, and the music hits with a haunting, lo-fi twang that sets it apart.

Learn more via the Bounty Star game hub.

Buckshot Roulette

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Buckshot Roulette is a high-stakes horror game that reimagines Russian roulette as a twisted table game of survival. Each match pits you against unsettling AI opponents in a smoky underground gambling den run by something… not entirely human. You’ll choose between loading the chamber or the barrel, watching your opponent’s moves, and gambling on who walks away with their life — and who gets the buckshot. It’s deeply unsettling, with lo-fi visuals and a constantly building sense of dread that’s more psychological than gory. You’ll unlock modifiers, new rulesets, and lore fragments that hint at a bigger mystery behind the game.

Step into the chamber on the Buckshot Roulette game hub.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

Black Ops 7 returns to the shadowy world of off-the-books ops with a Cold War narrative that feels uncomfortably close to the present. Developed by Treyarch, this year’s Call of Duty brings a more grounded campaign, pulling influence from espionage thrillers and stealth-focused combat, while still delivering the blockbuster spectacle the series is known for. Multiplayer introduces new gear and boots-on-the-ground gunplay alongside returning fan-favorite maps. Zombies mode continues the ongoing Dark Aether storyline with open-ended progression and a chilling Eastern Bloc setting. It’s not reinventing the formula — but it doesn’t need to.

Catch all details on the Black Ops 7 game hub.

Dead Static Drive

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Imagine a road trip through a Lovecraftian apocalypse — that’s Dead Static Drive. You’ll steal cars, scavenge supplies, and try to outrun the end of the world while driving from one haunted American town to the next. It’s top-down and stylish, with chunky 80s vibes and a strange, creeping horror that slowly overwhelms the experience. You’ll need to keep your car fueled and your nerves steady as you discover abandoned diners, cultist roadblocks, and supernatural events that break reality. It’s not about surviving forever — it’s about making the most of what time you’ve got left.

Learn more on the Dead Static Drive game hub.

High On Life 2

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

High On Life 2 doubles down on everything that made the first game so bizarre and memorable — talking guns, absurd alien cities, fourth-wall-breaking jokes, and wildly inappropriate humor packed into a surprisingly solid shooter. You’ll once again play as a bounty hunter navigating a galaxy that’s falling apart, with returning favorites like Kenny and Knifey alongside new weapon companions who won’t shut up. Combat has been refined with tighter movement, grapple-based traversal, and more layered upgrades. There’s even a morality system now… sort of. If you liked the first game, this is louder, grosser, and funnier. If you didn’t — well, you’re not the target.

Find more laughs (and screaming weapons) on the High On Life 2 game hub.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Hollow Knight: Silksong finally puts Hornet at center stage in a massive new kingdom filled with mystery, danger, and beautifully hand-drawn platforming.

With dozens of new enemies, challenging boss encounters, and an atmosphere dripping with tension and melancholy, Silksong is poised to be every bit the masterpiece its predecessor was. Whether you’re here for the precise gameplay or the haunting world design, this is one of the most anticipated Game Pass titles in years.

Discover what awaits on the Silksong game hub.

Little Rocket Lab

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Little Rocket Lab is a cozy puzzle game about building rockets and solving space problems in the most charming way possible. You’re not launching billion-dollar programs — you’re in a small workshop, building quirky contraptions from odd parts, adjusting fuel ratios, and seeing if they actually fly. It’s equal parts logic challenge and creativity toybox, with handcrafted missions, light narrative beats, and just enough physics to make each launch satisfying. Perfect for players who love games like The Incredible Machine or Opus Magnum but want something more bite-sized and laid-back.

Mixtape

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Mixtape is a coming-of-age narrative adventure that plays like a playable memory. You’ll guide a group of teens through a surreal final night together — visiting places from their past, reliving formative experiences, and shaping what they carry into adulthood. Each scene is set to a handpicked licensed soundtrack, with tracks from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s bringing moments to life like an interactive music video. It’s not about choices and consequences — it’s about mood, emotion, and nostalgia. If you liked Life is Strange, this will hit you right in the gut.

Relive it all through the Mixtape game hub.

Moonlighter 2

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Moonlighter 2 expands on the indie hit by blending roguelike dungeon crawling with even deeper shopkeeping mechanics. By day, you’re running a magical storefront — pricing loot, managing customers, and upgrading your village. By night, you venture into procedurally generated vaults filled with monsters, secrets, and powerful relics. It adds cooperative multiplayer, more loot synergy, and a broader world to explore beyond just five dungeons. The loop is still addictive, but now with more flexibility and late-game systems to sink your teeth into. If you loved the original, this is everything you hoped for — and more.

Browse it all on the Moonlighter 2 game hub.

Sleight of Hand

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Sleight of Hand is a stealth-action game where you don’t use guns or gadgets — you use magic tricks. Set in a noir-inspired world where illusionists double as spies and assassins, you’ll slip into guarded mansions and perform impossible heists using cards, coins, and classic misdirection. Throw a flashbang by snapping a playing card. Teleport behind a guard using a mirror box. Trick the world into seeing something that isn’t there — until it’s too late. With its stylish presentation and clever take on stealth, this is one for fans of Dishonored, but with a showbiz twist.

Slip into the shadows on the Sleight of Hand game hub.

Subnautica 2

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Subnautica 2 takes the eerie underwater exploration of the original and blows it wide open.

As you help the local animal spirits and learn more about your surroundings, a gentle story unfolds about memory, change, and what it means to enjoy the moment.

Witchbrook

Launch date: 2025 (TBA)

Witchbrook is the magical life sim from Chucklefish, blending farming, spellcraft, and school life into one pixel-perfect package. You’re a witch-in-training attending a seaside academy, learning new spells by day and building relationships with townsfolk by night. Plant glowing mushrooms, study potions, attend magical classes, and slowly uncover the mysteries surrounding your school and the nearby forests. It’s got the social charm of Stardew Valley, but with a much stronger sense of character arcs and story progression. You’re not just building a farm — you’re growing a life.

2026

Aphelion

Aphelion is a cosmic horror RPG set in deep space, where light is scarce and time behaves oddly. You’ll lead a fractured crew aboard a sentient vessel trapped in a decaying orbit around a black star. The game blends turn-based tactics with branching narrative choices, where every action drains light from your surroundings — a resource as precious as oxygen. As strange lifeforms breach the hull and reality starts to crack, you’ll have to decide who to trust and what parts of your humanity are worth keeping. Aphelion is bleak, beautiful, and built for players who love tension as much as strategy.

The story is built around branching prophecy trees, where your smallest choices ripple across multiple realms.

Beasts of Reincarnation

Launch date: 2026 (TBA)

This monster-hunting RPG plays with time in creative ways. Every time you die, you’re reincarnated as a new beast — with different traits, skills, and even personalities. Some reincarnations are powerful but short-lived; others weak but full of long-term potential. You’ll hunt corrupted spirits, evolve your forms, and piece together fragments of who you were before. Think Pokémon meets Dark Souls, with a moody art style and cryptic worldbuilding. It’s as much about discovery and rebirth as it is about stats and builds, and it rewards experimentation over min-maxing.

Transform your playstyle on the Beasts of Reincarnation game hub.

Fable

Launch date: 2026 (TBA)

Fable is back, rebooted by Playground Games with a modern flair that keeps the heart of the original alive — humor, choice, and a touch of chaos.

With real-time combat, branching quests, and a world full of snarky NPCs and magical chickens, this is shaping up to be both a return to form and a bold new step forward. If you’ve been waiting for a proper Xbox fantasy epic — this is it.

Replaced

Launch date: 2026 (TBA)

Replaced is a cinematic action-platformer set in a grim retro-futuristic city where society’s underbelly is all too visible.

The pixel art is absolutely stunning, with dramatic lighting, fluid animation, and environments packed with dystopian detail. It’s part Blade Runner, part Dead Cells, with a slower, more thoughtful pace. Every punch feels heavy, and every moment between fights drips with atmosphere.

Get wired in at the Replaced game hub.

Resonance

Launch date: 2026 (TBA)

Resonance continues the tragic legacy of A Plague Tale in a new region with fresh characters still haunted by echoes of the Macula. Set in a collapsing Italian stronghold, you’ll play as siblings once again — this time older, more capable, and reckoning with both internal and external plague. Expect stealth gameplay, upgraded tools like crossbows and firebombs, and emotional gut-punches delivered in signature Asobo fashion. Rats are still terrifying, but the human monsters are worse. If Requiem was heartbreak, Resonance is aftermath.

Follow the trail at the Resonance game hub.

Super Meat Boy 3D

Launch date: 2026 (TBA)

Super Meat Boy 3D flips the iconic side-scrolling carnage into a full 3D platformer while keeping the same razor-sharp controls and brutally precise design.

The level design is devilish but fair, packed with secret routes, warp zones, and unlockable characters. Whether you’re speedrunning or just trying to survive, the game constantly teases you with “one more try” until you’ve played an hour straight without blinking.

Through exploration and dialogue, you uncover the theatre’s history, meet other lost souls clinging to memories, and slowly realize that not all ghosts are dead. It’s stylish, slow-burning, and emotionally sharp — a perfect match for fans of Oxenfree or Kentucky Route Zero.

Take your final bow at the No Ghosts at the Grand game hub.

You’ll still tame dinosaurs, craft gear, and build bases, but now in a world that reacts more dynamically to your actions and with full mod support at launch.

Launch date: Unknown

Step into the unknown on the Everwild game hub.

Gears of War: E-Day

With its gritty tone and slower, methodical gunplay, Marauders is Tarkov in zero gravity.

Step carefully into the Routine game hub.

The combat is tight, the story personal, and the visual style genuinely striking. It’s shaping up to be one of the most emotionally resonant indies coming to Game Pass.

Way to the Woods

Launch date: Unknown

Way to the Woods is a beautifully animated adventure where you play as a deer and its fawn trying to find their way home through a post-human world. With no dialogue, the game leans on environmental storytelling, puzzles, and glowing antlers that light your path — literally and metaphorically. It’s quiet, moving, and occasionally haunting, but always wrapped in warmth and mystery. Think Journey or Spirited Away, told through animal eyes.
