With so many day one drops into Xbox Game Pass, we can often forget how many we've actually had. We're undeniably spoiled with the games that come the day of their launch. MLB The Show 21, Outriders, Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - this isn't even counting all the upcoming games. One fan has created a piece of fan art, which highlights every game that's entered the service since launch on day one of their release.
The picture reveals the number to be 137 - barring none are missing (do let us know if you notice any!) - and reinforces just what great value Xbox Game Pass is. Add in games that have entered after launch, plus all the titles that have been confirmed to be arriving in the future - it's an impressive feat.
There's so many, in fact, that the artist, Twitter user tamelucas, actually missed a few on their first attempt, leading them to come back with a much expanded list. It just goes to show how many games are added on a regular basis.
The rest of this year will see lots of heavy hitters join on day one. You can expect titles such as Halo Infinite's campaign, Psychonauts 2, and Forza Horizon 5 to be available the day of launch at no extra charge for subscribers. It'll never cease to amaze us how many games we get to dive into at any one point.

Forza Horizon 4 for me.
Although as much as Gamepass is a great deal I also purchased it.
I like to support games that I would have bought anyway *, and the Forza games have previously had license issues which have had them be removed from the store.
I hope that is not the case going forward, but it could be that it will be removed from Gamepass and the store in a couple of years time. Even if it is they always do deep sales on the games so everyone would have an opportunity to buy it anyway.
*I also own Crackdown 3, Ori and Gears.
I tend to play them on Gamepass and then purchase when on first or second sale.
Ori Will of the Wisps (though I wish I waited, was pretty buggy at launch on base XB One) my favourite Xbox game of last gen.
Shortly followed by Forza Horizon 4 (hyped for 5/sad I can't get the DLC for 3)
Had I not played Dragon Quest XI S on Switch this would be pretty high up, reinvigorated my childhood love for JRPGs.
Outer Worlds was pretty good too, though not as deep as I hoped.
But I would have purchased all those 3 anyway. A shout out to some games I likely wouldn't have bought but really enjoyed Day 1 via Game Pass - Streets of Rage 4, The Messenger, The Touryst, Call of the Sea, Observation, Cyber Shadow, Void Bastards, Wondersong etc.
BTW a really helpful resource for Game Pass is this spreadsheet that is constantly updated by someone in the community. (link below)
Crucially it shows the dates when games JOINED and LEFT Game Pass as well as Games EXPECTED to leave Game Pass soon.
Additionally with a bit of logic you can figure out how long some games will probably be on to better plan your time and hopefully avoid FOMO e.g. Final Fantasy 9 was 12 months (May 2020 - May 2021) therefore the others are likely leaving

Xbox team need to do this every month!
I voted Crackdown 3. The vitriol around this game kept me away from it. Until I played it on Game Pass. That Campaign's crazy fun!
