Featuring epic, high-octane action moments set in the most beautifully hostile environments on earth, Rise of the Tomb Raider delivers a cinematic survival action adventure where you will join Lara Croft on her first tomb raiding expedition. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Xbox Game Pass members can look forward to exploring awe-inspiring deadly tombs, huge ancient spaces littered with deadly traps, solve dramatic environmental puzzles, and decipher ancient texts to reveal crypts as you take on a world filled with secrets to discover.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is now fully enhanced for Xbox One X, featuring several visual and performance improvements to deliver true immersion in the award-winning experience. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play Rise of the Tomb Raider base game and can save 10% to purchase add-on content.
Super Lucky's Tale
Join Lucky and head back to an era of classic platformers with challenges players of all skill levels and all ages can enjoy when Super Lucky's Tale enters Xbox Game Pass March 1. Super Lucky's Tale is a delightful, playground platformer for all ages that follows Lucky, the ever-optimistic, energetic, and lovable hero, on his quest to find his inner strength and help his sister rescue the Book of Ages from Jinx. Along the way, encounter a hilarious supporting cast of friends and adversaries. Lucky must confront the nefarious Kitty Litter, Jinx's mischievous kids – self-taught villains who might not be getting Jinx's plans quite right. Lucky meets friends and allies along the way too. He meets misplaced Yetis, Kooky Spookies, a village of farming worms, and other colorful friends inhabiting the Ages.
Resident Evil Revelations 2
Resident Evil Revelations 2 is a survival-horror thriller featuring the interwoven stories of Claire Redfield and Barry Burton across four playable episodes. The series favorite Raid Mode also returns in a big way, offering members countless hours of gameplay. This Complete Season gives you full access to all four story episodes, the two additional side stories and playable hunk character for Raid Mode.
Oxenfree
Oxenfree is a supernatural thriller about a group of friends who unwittingly open a ghostly rift. Play as Alex, a bright, rebellious teenager who brings her new stepbrother Jonas to an overnight party on an old military island. The night takes a terrifying turn when you unwittingly open a ghostly gate spawned from the island's cryptic past. How you deal with these events, your peers, and the ominous creatures you've unleashed is up to you. You determine every aspect of Alex's story while exploring Edwards Island, uncovering the base's dark past, and changing the course of your friends' lives.
The Final Station
The world is over. But it's not quite over for you… at least, not yet. And now that you've got thousands of tons of locomotive at your disposal, ready to take you as far down the tracks as you have fuel to feed it, you've got the definite advantage over the infected hordes. This is The Final Station. The real question is whether you'll help the survivors get to their destinations…. or let them die and loot their bodies. Sometimes people can be more trouble than they're worth. A post-apocalyptic adventure about traveling a dying world on a train – survive for as long as you can by riding the rails, and finding supplies along the way. Infected are ready to stop your progress whenever you exit the train to look for supplies. Maintain your train in operating condition and craft valuable items from the resources you scavenge. Pick up survivors along the way, gaining perks (and hindrances) for your troubles.
Euro Fishing
If the cold, wind, sleet, and/or snow is hampering the outdoorsperson in you this winter, we may just have the remedy with Dovetail's Euro Fishing. It is exactly as it sounds – a digital escape to a wide range of different, calming natural outposts. Take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with your rod and casting, before you tackle some of the monster fish that live beneath the surface. Once you have discovered your inner angler and start landing trophies, be sure to take a screenshot so you don't end up as just another digital fisherman with a big story of the "one that got away."
Sonic CD
It's time to usher the past into the future in this enhanced recreation of Sonic CD! Sonic travels to the distant shores of Never Lake for the once-a-year appearance of Little Planet – a mysterious world where past, present, and future collide through the power of the Time Stones that lie hidden within it. His arch-nemesis, Dr. Eggman, has come for the Time Stones and with them, will soon have the power to control time itself In order to put an end to Dr. Eggman's nefarious schemes, Sonic must use the power of Little Planet to travel through time; breaking Dr. Eggman's hold over the future by destroying his machines in the past and recovering the missing Time Stones! Experience the adventure through time that introduced the world to Amy Rose and Eggman's most evil creation, Metal Sonic.

I wonder, long term, what they'll do with "Games with Gold" when they also got this.

One would think they'd merge it all into one service, but Gold still makes them a ton of money.

Rise of TR, although getting up in age, is a nice one to include, as one of the more robust One X Enhanced titles. Sea of Thieves is obviously the main draw. This should really help its player base.

  • Sea of Thieves
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider
  • Super Lucky's Tale
Don't miss out on SLT guys. In got completely overshadowed - but the game is an excellent platformer.

Wow. They are going all-in with the service. Insane value.

Rise Of The Tomb Raider is one of the finest third person games of the generation.
Oxenfree is one of the finest and most unique indie adventures I've played this generation - and I played many, many indies.
Super Lucky's Tale is something I've been meaning to play since release, but I was sure they'd add it to Game Pass: didn't think so soon, but not complaining. Can't wait!
The Final Station is a unique game, very stylish. I think a lot of you guys might appreciate it.

And of course the most-awaited game to me right now, Sea Of Thieves. Overall a good March, too bad I have nearly all games already, but since I got the discounted prices earlier, it's still definitely worth it.

so, how different is euro fishing compared to american fishing?

I wanted to try Lucky, at least to make so cute gifs.
I bet ROTR will only be there a month.

Think we will be able to preload Sea Of Thieves?

Would be amazing

I think they said they are working on allowing preloads for first party games launching on Game Pass, but don't think it'll be in place in time for SoT.

Also, nice addition with Super Lucky's Tale. I've been wanting to try it out.

For PC players that want to play Sea of Thieves in march, there are some decent games to try with gamepass. Sadly enough ROTTR isn't one of them.

Some of the Play Anywhere games in GamePass:
- Gears of War 4
- Halo Wars 2
- Recore Definitive Edition
- Zoo Tycoon Ultimate Animal Collection
- Riptide GP:Renegade
- Super Lucky's Tale

Super Lucky was pretty decent. Cute little platformer. Worth the $30 I spent at launch, so definitely worth checking out for others. I can finally check out Rise and Oxenfree!

Hot damn, this is amazing value. How do I install games pass games on Windows?

If you are a Gamepass subscriber: just make sure your Xbox account is the same as your Microsoft account. Then go to the Microsoft Store and just download the games you need. It'll say 'free' and others will have discounts.

Everybody is probably gonna be busy playing Sea of Thieves, but if you like platformers Super Lucky's Tale is actually pretty decent. Certainly worth a shot.

Because they overlap. You get games from both, different games.

Wouldn't you want one service so you can focus all your marketing on it, and when people say "It's free on Xbox right now." you go "Which one? Game pass or Gold?"?

Games With Gold is merely a bonus for having Gold, basically. You're paying to play online mainly. If you don't care about online, you'll be happy to know that a good share of the GwG titles are also on Game Pass.

Everybody is probably gonna be busy playing Sea of Thieves, but if you like platformers Super Lucky's Tale is actually pretty decent. Certainly worth a shot.

Not a huge issue given Lucky will be available in 3 days while Sea Of Thieves in about a month.

But you'll still have folks who want Gold and not Game Pass and Game Pass but not Gold. Taking that option away may not be a great idea.
