Tunic has been up near the top of our highly-anticipated indie list for some time. This cutesy Zelda-like adventure has some downright gorgeous visuals, and brilliant puzzle design to boot. Well, surprise! It's coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Oh, and day one happens to be today, March 16th.
That's right, it's another Game Pass shadow drop. We've known about Tunic — in part due to its Xbox-focused marketing — for some time, so we always suspected it could come to Game Pass. That suspicion has now been confirmed!
The celebrate the announcement, and the game's release of course, a launch trailer has just gone live via ID@Xbox. Tunic is a big feature of today's Xbox Indie Showcase, which you can watch here at Pure Xbox!
Our review of Tunic went live earlier today, where we gave it an "Excellent" 9/10 rating, Here's a snippet:
"Tunic is a fantastically clever adventure that kicks off in familiar Zelda-esque fashion before branching out to become its own thing entirely."

Had a feeling it would be, I love shadow drops.
The fact that Microsoft had it as one of the main games in the ID@Xbox showcase blogpost was a massive hint it was coming to Game Pass. It sadly feels like if a game isn't coming to Game Pass, Microsoft doesn't care about it.
Yes! I hate to be at work now, hahaha.
Those cheeky lying toe-rags!
Not much of a surprise. I, and many others it seemed, was under the impression that it was already announced it coming to Gamepass day one when the game was first revealed. Unfortunately I’ll be out of town for a few days and will not be able to play it, but I do look forward to trying it when I get back.
Nice, will be starting it after work
It's in the backlog as i gotta wrap some stuff up before starting more games. But definitely gonna play it and definitely a fake shadow drop as they already said it was coming last year.
Well that’s great news. I’ve been needing something to play since deleting Halo.
Some bell end reviewer has given the game 4 out of 10 on the series X on metacritic...despite all the rest of the reviews are positive on pc and xbox
I just knew when I tried buying it this am and couldn’t find it but could find it on steam this was happening.
@StylesT that’s a shame. Just don’t give them the clicks they are so desperately after.
@K1LLEGAL By the looks of it the guy didn't like it because it didn't hold his hand and tell him where to go etc...the clown, don't know how certain sites manage to get on metacritic
The devs said just a couple weeks ago that it was not coming to gamepass day one🤔🤔🤔 proper shady & a bit crap on folk who may have preordered🤷♂️

I was about to say the same. The developer said that Tunic is not on Game Pass at launch and now it's a day-one Game Pass game. I think that we deserve an explanation.
Well been really looking forward to this as massive zelda fan.
So far its very average, no map yet , no idea what I am supposed to be doing.
Plus has forced shut down my xbox about 6 times within a hour.
@ozwarpig84 I didn't like the demo. I don't think it's that much Zelda, to be honest.
@hbkay It never was available for preorder.
Never trust a dude in a tunic!
@awp69 I made an account just to upvote this comment. I have been trying to preorder this game for months! It didn’t even have a page on the Xbox Store until today.
@ThaFlu84 Yep. I kept looking for it myself.
