It’s a new month, and that means a new lineup of games coming to Xbox Game Pass — including the long-awaited Avowed, Obsidian’s take on a fantasy RPG. Here are the titles and their respective release dates.

  • Far Cry: New Dawn — February 4 (Standard, Ultimate, PC)
  • Another Crab’s Treasure — February 5 (Standard)
  • Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes — February 5 (Standard)
  • Starfield — February 5 (Standard)
  • Madden NFL 25 — February 6 (Ultimate, PC)
  • Kingdom Two Crowns — February 13 (Standard)
  • Avowed — February 18 (Ultimate, PC)

If you’re a Game Pass Ultimate or PC subscriber, you might have already seen or even played a few of these games. If you are on the Standard plan, you’ll have to wait a little longer to play the new arrivals, but you will get the chance to play Starfield if you haven’t yet.

Sadly, a few games will be leaving Game Pass to make room for these new additions. You have until February 15 to play these if you’d like to give them a spin before they disappear, and of course, you can purchase these games with a 20% discount as long as you do so before they leave the service.

  • A Little to the Left (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Bloodstained Ritual of the Night (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • EA Sports UFC 3 (Console via EA Play)
  • Indivisible (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Merge and Blade (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Return to Grace (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Tales of Arise (Cloud, Console, and PC)

If you’re an RPG fan, you don’t want to miss the chance to play Tales of Arise. It’s a pretty hefty title, though, so you’ll need to give it your full attention if you want to complete the game before it leaves Game Pass. Don’t worry, we have a beginner’s guide to help out.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is PlatinumGames at its best (and bloodiest)
A ninja faces off against an enemy in Ninja Gaiden 4.

Earlier this year, I revisited a golden age of gaming when I played Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. The remake brought me back to a time where character action games ruled, and each one felt different in its own way. It felt so distant from today's landscape, filled with Soulslikes that worship at the altar of the parry button. That experience left me feeling prepared for the series' next installment, Ninja Gaiden 4.

Or so I thought. It turns out that the upcoming sequel, scheduled to launch on October 21, is a new beast entirely. I found that out when I played a chunk of it following last weekend's Xbox Games Showcase and walked out with a big grin on my face. Though its changes to the series' patented action may bum some purists out, I'm personally thrilled to report that developer PlatinumGames has taken this opportunity to create the most Platinum game possible. And thank God for that.
