Xbox Game Pass receives a batch of additions this week that covers all tastes, from first-person action to benchmark open-world RPGs. Some titles are available from todayFebruary 17, while the rest will arrive in stages until early March.

These are all the games that are added to the catalog:

  • Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC) – March 3. The action RPG set in 15th century Bohemia, one of the most anticipated bets of this year.

Additionally, subscribers should note that Monster Train, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Injustice 2 and Middle Earth: Shadow of War They are titles that leave the catalog on February 28.

A catalog that has to save Xbox numbers

The arrival of these titles is not coincidental. Xbox revenue fell 9% in 2025 from a year earlier, with hardware sales plunging 32% and services down 5%. A situation that contrasts with the general good momentum of Microsoft, whose cloud division grew by 26% in the same period.

The subscription service is the main asset with which Microsoft hopes to reverse that trend. Game Pass had a turnover of 5 billion dollars last year, a record figure that the president of Xbox herself, Sarah Bond, used to confirm that the subscription model is profitable for the company. Microsoft is betting on turning Xbox into a multiplatform ecosystem that works on console, PC and the cloud, beyond its own hardware.

However, this growth comes at a cost for users. The Game Pass plans increased their price by 50% last October, placing the Ultimate subscription at 26.99 euros per month. Microsoft’s bet is clear: offer a catalog attractive enough to justify this increase. With Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and The Witcher 3 arriving in the same week, at least during March, the plot has quite a bit of weight.
