The Game Awards 2021 takes place this Thursday evening (you'll be able to watch it here at Pure Xbox — we'll have more details for you later this week!), and Xbox Game Pass will be getting at least four new game reveals as part of it.
The Xbox Game Pass for PC team has confirmed that four games heading to Game Pass on "day one" will be announced during the event, and teased it as part of a silly social media update on Twitter earlier today:
As you can probably imagine, lots of Xbox fans have been trying to edit the photo in the tweet to see if it contains any hidden details, and it actually does — it says, "If you're the first to edit this photo, congrats to you. Here's a code..."
(And yes, the code has been redeemed already!)
Of course, we wouldn't be surprised if Xbox has more Game Pass announcements to bring us at The Game Awards 2021, but these are the only confirmed reveals so far. Let's see what Thursday has in store for us...
Any guesses for what these might be? Let us know down in the comments section below.

Would be safe to assume that a couple of these would also be coming to gamepass for console/cloud
I actually really like this marketing. It adds to Microsoft's ability to not take it all super serious. It was fun when we were speculating about outriders coming to game pass day one.
@UltimateOtaku91 Doubtful.
General Gamepass for PC games don't make it back to Xbox.
Mech Warrior 5 is the only one in recent memory that has.
Im just trying to figure out how "editing a photo" has hidden messages. What kind of editing... Or what kind of encoding is involved here?
@InterceptorAlpha looking at the already announced day one pc gamepass titles some of those are also coming to xbox, so there's a possibility the unannounced games will come to console
@UltimateOtaku91 They were announced as coming to game pass back at E3, such as Stalker. I'm talking about games that launched on Gamepass PC without being on Gamepass for Xbox first, or at the same time.
Also, Serious Sam 4 just went live on both console and PC GamePass. Nice surprise!
@awp69 that is a nice surprise indeed. It's turning out to be way too stacked of a month if anything. Xbox is well and truly going out with a bang. Now I do wonder whether they'll be revealing the lineup of the rest of december during the game awards or not until after as its timing is a bit early for the regular announcement.
@NEStalgia Steganography’s pretty cool actually. You can hide messages inside images just by very very slightly shifting bits of the individual pixels’ RGB values and then translate it back into a message on our side.
@nessisonett ahh, so that's how they did it. How does one recognize the shifted pixels though? Even looking in hex you'd have to know where you're looking...
