As part of a reveal of a second wave of games joining the Xbox Game Pass in April, Microsoft surprised fans with the news that Ubisoft’s 2017 title Assassin’s Creed Origins will be landing on the service “in the next two months”. Although not joining the service this month, fans hopefully won’t have to wait long to sneak around Ancient Egypt. Origins will also be the first Assassins’ Creed title to make its way onto the Xbox service.
Origins will be joined by another Ubisoft title, with For Honor: Marching Fire Edition also coming to the Game Pass within the next two months. Currently, the For Honor base game is already available on the Game Pass, with the Marching Fire Edition upgrade bringing the add-ons of the Arcade Mode and Wu Lin Warriors.
The two Ubisoft titles coming to the service are no coincidence, as in a blog post announcing the new Game Pass additions, Megan Spurr, Xbox Game Pass Community Lead explains “we’re working with Ubisoft to bring even more incredible games to the Game Pass library”.
Other new Game Pass titles include:
- Race until your heart’s content with F1 2021, which is now available on Game Pass Ultimate with cloud gaming available via EA Play.
- Enjoy the thrill as an outlaw or a cop in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, with cloud gaming being available via EA Play.
- Have fun solving puzzles in the quirky journey of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion.
Coming soon to the Game Pass:
- April 26 – Combining open-world with a first-person shooter, survival, and tower defence, how long will you last in the apocalyptic 7 Days to Die?
- April 26 – Destroy supernatural hordes in the action-packed Research and Destroy.
- April 28 – Explore a mysterious island in the kooky adventure game, Bugsnax.
- April 28 – Up for a challenge? Take on the unforgiving, but fair action RPG Unsouled.
Elsewhere, Cricket 19, Outlast 2, Secret Neighbor, and Streets of Rage 4 will all be leaving the Game Pass on April 30.
