Xbox Game Pass Locks In Another Three New Releases For This Year

We've had a lot of games sitting in the "TBD" section of our Xbox Game Pass 2024 guide for ages now, but two of them have received brand-new release windows this week - in the form of Botany Manor and Magical Delicacy.

The former is a puzzle-exploration game that was previously confirmed for spring and now has a release date of April 9th, while Magical Delicacy is a "wholesome pixel art platformer" that will launch at some point in "Winter 2024".

If you're interested, both games are free to try as part of the Steam Next Fest on PC for the next few days.

To add to these, last year's Xbox Game Preview launch of Inkulinati is getting a full 1.0 release via Xbox Game Pass on February 22nd, and don't forget the new ghostly adventure Hauntii was announced for Game Pass this week as well!

Below, you'll find more details on the latest three games that have been locked-in for Xbox Game Pass:

Inkulinati 1.0 (February 22)

"Inkulinati won the Best Indie Game and Most Original Game awards at Gamescom 2022 and started in Early Access and the Xbox Game Preview program in 2023.
