Coming Soon — Every Upcoming Game Pass Addition

Marvel Cosmic Invasion
Marvel Cosmic Invasion throws players into a high-energy beat ’em up with a roster of 15 playable Marvel heroes, each called upon to repel the devastating Annihilation Wave bearing down on the galaxy. Combat spans locations ranging from the streets of New York City to the far reaches of the Negative Zone, with the fate of the entire Marvel Universe hanging in the balance.
Planet of Lana II
The stunning cinematic platformer returns in Planet of Lana II, reuniting players with Lana and her devoted companion Mui as they navigate a beautifully crafted sci-fi world reshaped by danger and mystery. The journey is built on inventive puzzle design and quiet emotional storytelling, offering an experience that tests both the mind and the heart while dazzling the senses.
Routine
Routine is a first-person sci-fi horror experience unfolding across a desolate, abandoned lunar base imagined through the retro-futurist lens of 1980s science fiction. Players explore and piece together clues about what went wrong while surviving against threats lurking in the shadows of the facility.
Ultimate Sheep Raccoon
Ultimate Sheep Raccoon is a chaotic, party-focused bike racing game that hands course design over to the players themselves. Friends collaborate — or sabotage one another — by placing obstacles and hazards along the route, then compete to cross the finish line first with the help of well-timed power-ups.
Kernel Hearts
Arriving as a day-one Game Pass release, Kernel Hearts blends action RPG gameplay with roguelike structure and optional co-operative multiplayer. Players select from four unique characters, each bringing distinct playstyles and abilities to the challenge of ascending the Tower of Babel while learning more about their companions along the way.
Ninja Gaiden 4
One of gaming’s most celebrated ninja action franchises makes its return with Ninja Gaiden 4, delivering a cutting-edge adventure that bridges its storied legacy with new innovations. The result is a ferocious, fast-paced combat experience that pulls no punches.
Dune: Awakening marks a significant moment for Game Pass subscribers who skipped the PC launch in June 2025 — the Xbox console release on September 22 arrives simultaneously with the game’s full single-player mode, making it a genuinely expanded offering for a large portion of the subscriber base.
Dune: Awakening
Dune: Awakening is an open world survival experience with both single-player and multiplayer modes, set across the legendary desert planet of Arrakis. Players explore its vast terrain, construct bases, craft equipment, and follow a cinematic story rooted in the Dune universe — charting a course from desperate survival to commanding greatness on one of science fiction’s most iconic worlds.
Well Dweller
A day-one Game Pass release, Well Dweller is a dark fairy-tale metroidvania set inside a decaying kingdom populated by eccentric and memorable characters. Players take control of Glimmer, a small bird armed with little more than a matchstick, on a mission to burn down the wicked queen’s reign and save his family.
Mad King Redemption
Mad King Redemption merges classic beat ’em up mechanics with roguelite progression inside a pixel-art 2.5D world. Every run through the kingdom’s corrupted halls feels different, as players work to free the Mad King from the grip of madness and cleanse the enemies standing in the way.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Developed by the award-winning teams at Treyarch and Raven Software, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a mind-bending action thriller that sends players rogue and hunted from within their own organization. The game delivers a signature Black Ops package across a cinematic single-player Campaign, a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, and the epic return of Round-Based Zombies.
Minecraft Dungeons II
Among the most anticipated day-one Game Pass additions of the month, Minecraft Dungeons II sends players through mysterious rifts opening across the Overworld and into the Sift — an entirely new dimension. The sequel challenges teams to face unfamiliar enemies across uncharted territories, while introducing expanded gear customization options and building toward what the developers describe as the toughest battle yet. Are you ready to face what awaits beyond the rifts?
Keeper
Keeper tells its story entirely without spoken or written words. A long-dormant lighthouse reawakens and forms an unlikely bond with a lively seabird, setting the pair off on a quietly moving journey through realms that defy expectation.
Gears of War: E-Day
The most anticipated first-party Xbox release of 2026, Gears of War: E-Day arrives as a day-one Game Pass title and transports players back 14 years before the events of the original Gears of War. The origin-story campaign puts Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago at the center of Emergence Day — the catastrophic moment when the Locust Horde erupted from beneath the planet Sera, plunging humanity into a desperate fight for survival. Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game delivers the series’ darkest and most immersive tone to date.
