Xbox revealed a new batch of library additions coming to its Game Pass service. The list includes some heavy hitters in Resident Evil 3 and Madden 24, as well as some indie hidden gems.

Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s subscription service that gives players access to select games for a monthly fee, will add eight new games in the first half of February. The rollout will start today with Anuchard and continue until February 20 with the sci-fi title Return to Grace.

The biggest addition this month is Madden 24, which hits Xbox consoles and PC on February 8. That’s just in time for this weekend’s Super Bowl, so you can use it to create your own simulation of the big game. Subscribers will earn an Ultimate Team Supercharge Pack if they try it before March 8.

Game Pass is also adding another Resident Evil game. This time, Capcom’s Resident Evil 3 remake is joining the service on February 13. It’ll be available on PC, console, and cloud. The news hopefully signals that we might see last year’s excellent Resident Evil 4 on the service sometime soon.

A few indie standouts round out the month. On Valentine’s Day, players can grab cozy puzzler A Little to the Left and the Castlevania-inspired Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Here’s the full list of titles coming to the service this month.

  • Anuchard (Cloud, console, PC) — Now available
  • Train Sim World 4 (Cloud, console, PC) — February 7
  • Madden 24 (Console, PC) –February 8
  • Resident Evil 3 (Cloud, console, PC) — February 13
  • A Little to the Left — (Cloud, console, PC) — February 14
  • Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night (Cloud, console, PC) — February 14
  • PlateUp! (Cloud, console, PC) — February 15
  • Return to Grace (Cloud, console, PC) — February 20

Oddly, the headline of the Xbox Wire post about Game Pass’ upcoming titles mentions Tales of Arise, but it isn’t mentioned in the article of its image showing off the new batch of games. It seems that the RPG is headed to the service, but it’s currently unclear if it’s scheduled to launch this month or not.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions
Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.
Claude website open on laptop

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.

Phantom Blade Zero hands-on: An extraordinary game with unbelievable combat that I can’t get enough of
Every fight feels like a beautifully choreographed martial arts movie, except I'm the one controlling every move.

We have had a considerable number of high-profile game releases this year, but none so far have had as much hype behind them as Phantom Blade Zero. The source of all that hype was a 2023 trailer highlighting its fluid kung-fu-derived sword combat. Considering that, at the time of writing this piece, there are over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam alone, on a weekday no less, I think it's safe to say that the hype has converted into gamers actually showing up for the game. I have sunk around 10 hours into this game today, and so far, it has been nothing short of an absolute masterclass in action combat.
