@Fiendish-Beaver I wouldn't be bothered at all about having to wait for stuff, if everything game to premium eventually... would be a no-brainer for me.
@Fiendish-Beaver I don’t think every game comes to premium, does it? If so, it’s definitely the tier to get! If everything came to premium eventually I’d definitely switch.
@cronogold That would be cool, and you might be right! Suppose not, but maybe Either way, it's great to see more coming like this. They need more deals with SqEn. I liked having the Octopaths on there for instance.
The only one I care about is echo generation 2. Cool that it’s the game pass one. I wonder if the first game will hit game pass too, or if I need to drop $10 while it’s on sale? Or maybe I should try the demo of the second one first in case I hate it.
Seems so good it might be worth skipping the first two and just playing this one. Not sure I’d be able to go back to the first two after playing this one tho.
I’d like to drop to premium since I don’t really care about day 1 releases. I can wait, and games are usually better a year later anyway.
But it seems like there are some games that don’t come to premium, and I like the extra rewards points for ultimate. But is it ultimately worth it?? I guess I’ll have to pay more attention.
I still haven’t played blue prince and I’m not sure I can play it in two weeks… so I hope it’s not that one! Would like to give Clair obscur a replay too.
Nice month for me. All three are must plays for me, and ff3 is the only one I actually own. Never would have thought the pixel remasters would end up on there.
Glad I procrastinated and never bought kcd2 or minishoot adventures.
Game pass is great if you have wide tastes, and don’t buy and hoard everything you want to play. If you only buy what you’re reasonably going to play new or in sales, stuff you miss and want to play often comes to game pass. It pays to wait.
@Fiendish-Beaver I agree with what you’re saying here. But one can only play so many games. If one only buys what one is going to play right away, eventually some of the stuff you miss (or will play anyway) ends up on game pass. I’m quite happily playing dragon quest 7 (which will probably never be on game pass), but I never got around to buying or playing either kingdom come game or cyberpunk. I’d definitely like to play all three now that they’re on game pass, but I’m not even sure I can play all three in a year.
Cyberpunk is cool, but jeez, how am I gonna play kc:d 1 and 2, plus cyberpunk and phantom liberty all in the next year? Plus the Witcher 3 dlc that is supposedly coming…
They should space the final fantasy releases out a little more. One per month is kind of a fast pace! Wonder if they’ll keep going once the pixel remasters are all on there and starting to leave 6 months later. Ff7, 8, 9, 10…?
Well they don’t exactly explain it very well. I wonder if it’s like Culdcept meets puzzle quest and scrabble. It’s interesting but they need to explain the core loop
I don’t care about marathon actually, but what a week, since I’m really excited to try Anno, and I’ve been meaning to play sinking city and Atari 50 forever! Hope to try out all three for an hour or so each.
I don’t care about brands. I like good games, nerdy ones, and I like the best place to play them that works well for me. Game pass and Microsoft rewards made Xbox work for me this generation.
Hard not to be cynical. She could have asked ai about Chrono trigger to find out it had multiple endings. And she obviously set up a gamer tag to be public.
Of course, in good faith, that doesn’t mean she’s not a gamer. Seems like… maybe she is.
Lot of cool stuff here. Wish more of it was coming to game pass, or at least had demos (and that new demos were sorted at the top of the list like they used to be)
@IronCrow86 Basically, Activision bought up a bunch of stuff, and then Microsoft bought Activision. Activision always had Zork/etc from their early days. Sierra On-line etc was purchased by activision too. On the other hand, I feel like Commander Keen is id software, which is... also owned by Microsoft... if you meant that. I can't remember who owns Duke, Crystal Caves, etc anymore, but if it's not under the Microsoft umbrella, it won't be in this collection.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Drops To 'Lowest Xbox Price Ever' In New Square Enix Sale
I don’t know why I bother to buy these games new. I should save my money instead of being a day one supporter.

Re: These 12 Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (March 17 - April 7)
Disco Elysium, and LaD infinite wealth are both great, but I already have them, and they’re pretty cheap now!
Looking forward to absolum tho. FFIV too, but I also already have that!
Re: Starfield Gets Major Free Update & New Expansion Next Month, Alongside PS5 Release
Why do I play Xbox studio games when they’re new? They’re always better a year or two later. Or three or whatever this is now.
Re: Talking Point: What Should Xbox Call Its 'Project Helix' Console?
Xbox 2… It’s a totally new start. It’s a sequel to all previous Xbox units.
Re: The Coin Game Is Bringing Its Open-World Arcade Paradise To Xbox This Thursday
I loved arcade paradise, so I’ll probably love this too?
Re: Two Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In April 2026 So Far
Very interested in both
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Game Pass Players, What Do You Think Of Cyberpunk 2077?
Who has time for two kingdom come games and this? I’m still finishing dragon quest 7.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In March 2026

Re: Two Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 10)
Kinda weird to call cyberpunk an “Xbox rpg” when it’s on every platform known to man. By that token it’s also a Nintendo RPG, a PlayStation rpg…
Re: Roundup: All The Biggest Xbox Reveals From The MIX Spring Showcase 2026

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Say About Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection
Seems so good it might be worth skipping the first two and just playing this one. Not sure I’d be able to go back to the first two after playing this one tho.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Happy With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate In 2026?
I’d like to drop to premium since I don’t really care about day 1 releases. I can wait, and games are usually better a year later anyway.
But it seems like there are some games that don’t come to premium, and I like the extra rewards points for ultimate. But is it ultimately worth it?? I guess I’ll have to pay more attention.
Re: Here's What Might Leave Xbox Game Pass In April 2026
I still haven’t played blue prince and I’m not sure I can play it in two weeks… so I hope it’s not that one! Would like to give Clair obscur a replay too.
Re: Microsoft Rewards Reduces 'Daily Set' Points Across Multiple Regions
Sheesh. I was getting about $20 per month. I guess if this adds up to 500, I’ll probably be getting more like $15 per month.
Game pass and rewards are the main reasons I’m on Xbox instead of ps5. They keep increasing the game pass price and reducing the rewards lol
Re: Xbox Hardly Ever Advertises Free Demos, But A Handful Have Been Added In Recent Weeks
I’m just glad you can sort demos by recent now.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Say About Planet Of Lana 2 On Xbox Game Pass
I had a hard time getting into the first one, but that may have been a me problem. Will probably give this one a try too.
I’m maybe just not into puzzle platformers of this type.
Re: Two Games Are Available Across Xbox Game Pass Ultimate & Premium Today (March 4)
I hope To A T gets a little more attention.
Re: 'They Hurt People Building The Game' - Activision Takes Legal Action Against Call Of Duty Leaker
Ironic given activision themselves literally “hurt people making the game” with their policies in the call of duty mines.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Xbox Brawler Scott Pilgrim EX
Jeez quite a spread. I’m really looking forward to it tho. Game pass eventually??
Re: Three Xbox Game Pass Release Dates Revealed At March's Nintendo Indie World Showcase
Wish inkonbini had been on there too.
Super excited to get minishoot tho, and mixtape looks interesting.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 3)
@abe_hikura yeah it’s cruel of them to drop both at the same time. A new final fantasy every month is a little too quickly paced too.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 3)
@Tasuki FFIV changed gaming forever. It is just now starting to get some of the credit it deserves, 35 years later. Had to check my math… jeez.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (March 3)

Re: These Seven Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Including Three Big Additions (March 4-17)
Wow! Minishoot Adventures too!
Game pass is great if you have wide tastes, and don’t buy and hoard everything you want to play. If you only buy what you’re reasonably going to play new or in sales, stuff you miss and want to play often comes to game pass. It pays to wait.

Re: Six Games Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass In Early March 2026
I don’t know if I have time to play both kingdom come games in one year.
Sad to see he is coming leave. Neat game. I don’t play much on PC tho

Re: You Can Buy One, Get Two Free Right Now On Select Xbox DLC Packs
Kinda reminds me why I decided to never buy dlc unless it’s a game I’m currently playing and loving and want more…
Re: GoldenEye & TimeSplitters Creators Return To Xbox With The Most Unlikely Of New Games
Well they don’t exactly explain it very well. I wonder if it’s like Culdcept meets puzzle quest and scrabble. It’s interesting but they need to explain the core loop
Re: Roundup: All The Biggest Xbox Reveals From IGN Fan Fest 2026
Only thing I have much interest in is he-man. There’s a sentence I never thought I’d write.
Re: Xbox Adds New 'Sort By' Options On The Microsoft Store, Including By Price & Discount
I hope it lets me sort demos new to old again!
Re: Free Play Days: Try Six Xbox Games For Free, Including Bungie's Marathon (February 26 - March 1)
I don’t care about marathon actually, but what a week, since I’m really excited to try Anno, and I’ve been meaning to play sinking city and Atari 50 forever! Hope to try out all three for an hour or so each.
Re: Analyst Provides Interesting Data On How Well January's Big Game Pass Additions Performed
That’s seems pretty good for ninja gaiden given it’s a 2d game.
Re: Vampire Crawlers Gets Free Xbox Demo Ahead Of 2026 Game Pass Launch
Looks amazing, but I might actually wait for the full version.
Wouldn’t have even know this demo existed since the demo section on console doesn’t sort by new anymore…
Re: Xbox Creator Reveals His Two Tips For The New Microsoft Gaming CEO
I don’t care about brands. I like good games, nerdy ones, and I like the best place to play them that works well for me. Game pass and Microsoft rewards made Xbox work for me this generation.
Re: Three Games Are Available This Week With Xbox Game Pass (February 24-26)
Can win it with every batch… might give them a try but none are super interesting
Re: Xbox CEO Shares Her Three Favourite Games Of All Time, Along With Her Gamertag
Hard not to be cynical. She could have asked ai about Chrono trigger to find out it had multiple endings. And she obviously set up a gamer tag to be public.
Of course, in good faith, that doesn’t mean she’s not a gamer. Seems like… maybe she is.
Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions Of Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora On Xbox Game Pass?
Too much other stuff to play! If I wanted to play an ubislop game, it would probably be an assassins creed.
Re: Review: The 'Nacon Revolution X Unlimited' Is A Fantastic-Feeling Xbox Controller, At A Cost
I’ve given up on waiting for an affordable, wireless 3rd party Xbox controller. Back to playing wired on my series x like it’s 1990.
Re: Who Is Asha Sharma? A Look Back At The Career Of The New Xbox Boss
@Anony25 you’re so constructive
Re: Who Is Asha Sharma? A Look Back At The Career Of The New Xbox Boss
@Anony25 what does that have to do with Islam?
Re: Who Is Asha Sharma? A Look Back At The Career Of The New Xbox Boss
Wish they’d get someone who knows how to make games, not a business person who runs services.
Re: Xbox President Sarah Bond Is Also Leaving The Company, Microsoft Confirms
Weird. So it’s a reboot, or what?
These career business people running games companies, coming and going… it’s weird.
Re: Roundup: All The Xbox Reveals From The Indie Fan Fest & Convergence Games Showcase 2026
Lot of cool stuff here. Wish more of it was coming to game pass, or at least had demos (and that new demos were sorted at the top of the list like they used to be)
Re: New Xbox Boss Makes Official Statement As She Takes Over From Phil Spencer
I’d say… uh oh. But things weren’t exactly going well with Phil at the end of his tenure here anyway.
Re: Poll: As Things Stand, Will You Be Buying GTA 6 On Xbox This November?
I’ll enjoy the gap in releases surrounding gta6. I’m in no hurry to play it tho. Wait a year and it’ll probably be a better game.
I did play gta5 on ps3 day 1… and I coulda waited for ps4, ps5, or series x and had a better experience.
Re: Five New Games Added To Retro Classics On Xbox Game Pass In February 2026
@IronCrow86 Basically, Activision bought up a bunch of stuff, and then Microsoft bought Activision. Activision always had Zork/etc from their early days. Sierra On-line etc was purchased by activision too. On the other hand, I feel like Commander Keen is id software, which is... also owned by Microsoft... if you meant that. I can't remember who owns Duke, Crystal Caves, etc anymore, but if it's not under the Microsoft umbrella, it won't be in this collection.
