In the midst of all the crazy Activision Blizzard news yesterday, Microsoft also revealed a new batch of Xbox Game Pass titles for January, including the news that Taiko No Tatsujin will be making its debut on Xbox next week.
The game is called Taiko No Tatsujin: The Drum Master, and appears to be a modified and/or enhanced version of Drum 'N' Fun for Nintendo Switch and Drum Session for PS4, featuring "70 pieces ranging from classics to popular songs" — it also comes complete with local multiplayer for two players, along with a ranked online mode.
For the uninitiated, Taiko No Tatsujin games are rhythm titles, serving as a mix between the likes of Rock Band, Donkey Konga, Rhythm Paradise and others. Essentially, the goal is to drum to the beat as accurately as you can.
Taiko No Tatsujin: The Drum Master will be available with Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S on Thursday, January 27th, and it'll also be available with PC Game Pass if you prefer to play that way.
Drum along and ride into the rhythm with the two types of notes [Don] & [Katsu] and aim for the highest score! Have a fun Taiko performance with a extensive lineup of estimated 70 pieces ranging from classic to popular songs such as [Homura], [Into the Night], [MEGALOVANIA]!
Looking forward to trying Taiko No Tatsujin on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know down in the comments.

Do you need additional prefrials for this game? Like drums etc?
@Snake_V5 ideally yes. I've got the drums for my Switch version, which work on the PS4 with a dongle. Here's hoping Xbox doesn't need any extra gubbins to just plug and play
@Snake_V5 There is a drum peripheral but it isnt essential you can play with a controller
@Alduin That's good that you can use a controller then. I thought you have to have drums.
This is huge news for me. I love that it’s coming over and I would of bought it but glad it’s on game pass. Microsoft is firing on all cylinders and every month I’m happier that I switched back from going to Sony last generation. My switch, PS4 and gaming pc are all pretty much packed up but I’m also moving too.
This is very welcome. Its good fun rhythm game.
Xbox is going in the right direction this gen, bringing gaming and many gaming styles to the masses!
I can still see a few gaps in the market for Phil and his teams to fill. I have faith in them, it will take a little longer but it's going to being an amazing time this gen for all gaming fans.
I honestly never expected to see Taiko no Tatsujin on Xbox, but this is wonderful news! I love these games so much!
Does anyone know if the switch drum will work for this? I assuming it will as it’s just a usb connection?
@Clankylad no way? They work with this game? I sold mine for like 30bucks because they were collecting dust in the closet for years…
