In January, Xbox Game Pass is regaining its foothold after a slower start to the year. The final week of the month promises excitement with the recent shadow drop of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, alongside the anticipated day-one releases of Eternal Strands, Sniper Elite: Resistance, and Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector.
While Xbox Game Pass concludes January with a strong lineup, February’s offerings currently appear limited, featuring only two confirmed titles. Far Cry New Dawn is expected to kick off the month effectively, and there are hopes that Obsidian’s Avowed, slated for release on February 18, will elevate the subscription service. However, the addition of a few more games would certainly enhance the offerings for February.
February 2025 Wish List: Thank Goodness You’re Here!
Release Date: Currently Available on PlayStation, Switch, and PC
Despite its absence from The Game Awards, Thank Goodness You’re Here! garnered rave reviews for its clever humor, sharp writing, and successful blend of gameplay with comedy. Developed by the Yorkshire-based studio Coal Supper, this title allows players to step into the shoes of a pint-sized traveling salesman, navigating a whimsical Northern English town brimming with eccentric characters. Currently unavailable on Xbox, there are no announcements regarding its potential release on this platform, but it would certainly be a delightful addition to Xbox Game Pass.
February 2025 Wish List: Civilization 6
Release Date: Available Now
Anticipation is building for the newest installment of the Civilization series, set to launch on February 11. While the arrival of Civilization 7 is on the horizon, it may benefit Firaxis to release Civilization 6 on Xbox Game Pass at the start of February. This strategy would not only attract new players but also familiarize them with the series’ mechanics before the arrival of Civ 7, which promises significant alterations to the established formula.
February 2025 Wish List: Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Release Date: Available Now
With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 launching on February 4, it could be opportune for Warhorse Studios and Deep Silver to include the original title on Xbox Game Pass. Despite its niche appeal, the historical action-RPG has garnered a dedicated fanbase since its initial release in 2018. Introducing the first game to a broader audience could pave the way for increased interest and sales for the upcoming sequel.
February 2025 Wish List: Elden Ring
Release Date: Available Now
Elden Ring remains one of the most sought-after additions to Xbox Game Pass. Three years post-launch, the game has mesmerized players worldwide and has developed an ardent following. Making it available on Game Pass could significantly expand its audience, especially with the impending release of Elden Ring Nightreign later this year, making it a timely addition to the service.
