Discover every new game coming to Xbox Game Pass right here.
Xbox Game Pass is the ever-expanding Netflix-like gaming subscription from Microsoft, the makers of Xbox. For a monthly subscription, Xbox Game Pass partakers gain access to a constantly-rotating catalog of hundreds of high-quality Xbox games. The best Xbox Game Pass games include third-party multiplayer games, older AAA titles, indie projects, all first-party Microsoft games, and pretty much everything in between.
Xbox Game Pass is also included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, an all-in-one subscription that gives players full access to Xbox Game Pass on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One consoles, Xbox Game Pass on PC, Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud), and even EA Play. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate represents one of the best values in gaming, and that value only increases from month-to-month.
That's because Xbox Game Pass is always adding new games, with announcements once or twice a month. While games occasionally leave the service, the number of games available through Xbox Game Pass has been steadily growing since its launch. In this Xbox Game Pass guide, we'll go over all the new games coming to the service, the games about to leave, and the top games you should be keeping an eye on.

Best new Xbox Game Pass games March 2021
You'll rarely go wrong with the diverse selection of games on Xbox Game Pass, but there are always a handful that stand above the rest — including but not limited to exceptional indie games, addictive multiplayer games, expansive AAA games, and Microsoft's first-party games. These are the best new games that have recently arrived on Xbox Game Pass.
Star Wars: Squadrons
Available March 18 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, & EA Play)
The arrival of Star Wars: Squadrons also answered the prayers of many gamers who desired only one thing: a game dedicated to flying Star Wars' many incredibly and infamous space ships. Star Wars: Squadrons squarely delivers on everything it promised, and now Xbox players can enjoy it at no additional cost through EA Play in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Undertale
Available March 16 (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, & PC)
Not only has Undertale officially launched for Xbox consoles, it also launched onto Xbox Game Pass at the same time! This indie classic still holds up five years after its initial release on PC, and now you can experience it on your Xbox console or Windows PC. Undertale is an RPG with a twist — every interaction is unique, because every enemy is an individual.
Bethesda games
Available March 12 (Various platforms)
To commemorate the finalization of the ZeniMax acquisition, 20 Bethesda games have been added to Xbox Game Pass. This includes Dishonored: Definitive Edition, Prey, Elder Scrolls III, IV, and V, The Evil Within, a whole bunch of DOOM games, and more. Even better, some of them have gotten an FPS boost, allowing players to run the games at 60 FPS instead of 30. You can view the full list below.

Upcoming games launching on Xbox Game Pass
Microsoft gives us an update on games heading to Xbox Game Pass a few weeks before those games become available, typically. However, first-party Xbox Game Studios and a whole suite of indie developers announced at the March ID@Xbox event that they are preparing games that have been confirmed to launch into Xbox Game Pass day and date. That means day one access to these games for all Xbox Game Pass subscribers, including to some of the best upcoming games for Xbox.
Many of these games are far enough out that they don't even have a release date, and we're not certain exactly which platforms they'll come to through Xbox Game Pass. Still, this list in our Xbox Game Pass guide will give you an idea of what to look out for in the future of Xbox Game Pass. We'll constantly update this list as we get new information about release dates, when games become available, and what platforms are getting them.
