Xbox Game Pass is a monthly-based subscription plan from Microsoft that gives access to vast game libraries including day 1 releases and upcoming titles. Subscribers can also enjoy exclusive discounts, early access to select titles, and cloud gaming support for gaming on the go. March 2025 is going to be a very exciting month for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Microsoft is adding some highly anticipated games across platforms: consoles, cloud gaming, and PC. Microsoft is continuously growing its game library featuring day one releases with a variety of other genre games.
Among the new arrivals, fans can look forward to Galacticare, the action-packed 33 Immortals, and the highly anticipated SOPA: Tale of the Stolen Potato. If you love Adventure games, you won’t want to miss day one release: Atomfall, which is coming exclusively to Xbox Game Pass.
Unfortunately, as new games are added to the library, some of the best games leave the Game Pass library in a rotational pattern each month.
Sadly, many of these titles tend to be fan favorites like Yakuza 5 Remastered, Lies of P, No More Heroes 3 & more, so subscribers should make sure to play these games while they are in the Game Pass library, otherwise, once they disappear from Xbox Game Pass, you’ll need to purchase these games separately to continue playing them.
In this article, we’ll cover:
- All new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2025
- Games leaving the service
- How to claim your Xbox Game Pass games before they disappear
Let’s dive into the full list of arrivals and departures!
