These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 7-19)

Dang, I just recently bought control UE. I also own NMH 3 but never played it. I'll definitely be checking out SpongeBob and diablo 4.

I just started boltgun. I think I am going to really enjoy it.

Oh, damn. I already bought No More Heroes like a week ago. What are the odds?

I thought control had already been on gamepass ? Maybe it was ps plus can't remember

Lightyear Frontier didn't release already? I feel like I've been advertised this game coming to GP like literally a million times in the past year. I assumed it had already happened.

If I remember correctly Control Standard Edition has been on the service before right? But the Ultimate Edition is a good add. Will wait for Remedy to get back the rights in 2025 and buy it for PC then.

Very good for me nearly finished Alan wake 2 so will jump on control after that as they are sort of connected I hear I was going to buy it so saves me the money now and my daughter will love paw patrol world hopefully it will get her off goat simulator 3 ha

ooh now i can continue control on my new PC build. Maybe i'll get more into it after alan wake 2.

nothing for shooter fans. again. this is xbox and not nintendo right?

Good to see Control back on, and the Ultimate edition too with the extra stuff. Damn good game.

Spongebob may be good for a bit of fun platforming.

What an excellent month. Two games for my kiddo and four for me that I wanted to eventually play. Awesome that Control is the Ultimate edition with all the dlc. And the newest edition of MLB The Show is always a win

I got SpongeBob a while back on Steam but never beat it cause I don’t really like being glued to my PC for single-player games. Very happy I can beat it on my TV now without double dipping.

I got Control for free on Epic and GoG but same case, I’d much rather play it on my living room sofa with my big TV. Good month for me.

I really want to try Lightyear Frontier. It looks like the type of game you can chill out to. Currently unsubbed to GP though and not really interested in anything else this month so might just buy it on Steam if it runs well on the Deck.

I just came here to say that No More Heroes 3 is great!

I played it on Switch (when it was a timed-exclusive), but I will surely replay it on GP.

@rustyduck Warhammer Boltgun arrived today. I have seen it described as a boomer shooter

@HarmanSmith I have never played a NMH game. Does 3 require knowledge of 1 and 2 or stand well on its own?

It is the only game I'm thinking I will try from this batch, although Feb added a lot to my backlog, so not complaining.

Holy cow, I was just about to purchase NMH3 on sale about a week ago and decided against it at the very last minute. I noticed it was constantly going on sale and thought maybe later I'd get a better price. Once again GP comes to the rescue

@RentedPanda IMO, it stands well on its own. In fact, it was my first No More Heroes game.

I have yet to pay the full saga (1&2 and Travis Strikes Again are on my backlog) so I really don't know if I did lose something of the lore. But, I'll say it is a good starting point for the franchise.

i wonder if my saves from my physical copy of control i had a while back (but sold) will magically reappear....? (feel free to answer, anyone who knows )

@rustyduck And I believe Control Ultimate edition allows you to shoot things like bad guys…

As I said in January and February: Gamepass is killing it in 2024 … and this is after a great 2023 … still ABK stuff and others to come…
BTW Return to Grace has a great story … check it out if you like scifi…

Nice list. Remember that there’s also games coming at the end of the month including Diablo 4.

Oooh. I really want to try no more heroes 3. Might have to jump back into gamepass for that.
Also. If you havent played Control and have gamepass. Please make room to play it!!! Such a great game!

I think MLB is not available on PC though…

Benn struggling with the urge to buy Control again. JACKPOT!!!!

I know Alan Wake will come eventually. I will hold out as long as I have to

@RentedPanda i just saw this lol

I'm liking the cycling of titles on Gamepass. It's like Netflix. Play/watch what is interesting and there's chance departing titles could return.

@G1lbo I'm going to say yes, but don't quote me on it. Should be in the cloud.

@rustyduck cool, hopefully that will serve until the next batch is announced, and brings new hope. As others have said, Control has [really fun] shooting along with the various powers, but not sure if it's what you're looking for.

For shooters, I'm hoping for El Paso Elsewhere (I think). I've heard it is great, but hard, so I'd rather wait to see if it shows up than buy it and find it is not for me

No more heroes 3 it’s an amazing game! And artbook in the deluxe edition is worth every penny (Even if it is an app) try it on game pass but I asure you you will want to own it (maybe i’m just a hopeless Suda 51 fan) nothing for me on this Batch… since I already own control too, but those games on a service that already has Persona 3 on it really gives it value. Keep the good games coming!

Xbox really knows what we want… Paw Patrol 😎

Guess I'm letting my Game Pass lapse again. At least I got to beat Dead Island

@cardcrusher29 they don't bring departing titles back often enough. Like Mad Max or Tomb Raider, or even Tails Noir

Looking forward to replaying Control, great game.

@Mindurbiniss You're right. It's not as often as we like. It's still a nice start to cycle the like of Maneater, Outer Wilds. Control, and others. Hopefully the trend continues.
