Titles Leaving Xbox Game Pass in MarchĪt the time of writing, Microsoft hasn't announced a full list of titles that are leaving Xbox Game Pass this month. The game is played from a top-down perspective, with twin-sticker shooter combat mechanics. Like a true immersive sim, you are able to tackle your objectives here in a multitude of ways and the world will react accordingly. You're dropped into the halcyon days of the American Frontier and get to play as various archetypes, including a heroic bounty hunter, a mystic and a Native American archer. Devolver DigitalĪs you would expect from a game developed by alumni of Arkane Studios (the team who made Dishonored and Deathloop), Weird West is all about player choice. Image show gameplay from "Weird West." The quirky RPG will be coming to Game Pass on March 31. If you're into tactical warfare, managing subjects and administrating kingdoms, then this is a terrific strategy game (albeit one that has a steep learning curve). Those who own Microsoft's console will have an advantage over Sony fans here, as the Xbox version will be going straight to Game Pass on March 29. It is now being brought over to the console market with a PlayStation and Xbox port.
Medieval strategy game Crusader Kings 3 has been around for a couple of years already, having first launched for PC back in September 2020. It's not going to be for everyone (especially not for those who just want immediate action) but it promises to have artistic flair if nothing else.Ī Memoir Blue is another title that is going straight to Game Pass on Day 1.
With a total absence of dialogue, the narrative is instead communicated visually through a series of hand-drawn vignettes, each using different animations styles. Annapurna InteractiveĪ Memoir Blue is described by its own developers as an "Interactive Poem." It wordlessly tells the story of a champion swimmer who is reflecting on her childhood and the relationship she has with her mother. Image shows gameplay from "A Memoir Blue." Billed as an interactive poem, the experience will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on March 24. At the moment, the lineup for March is looking quite sparse but there will no doubt be other additions that have yet to be announced. These updates to the catalog happen every month, with new games joining and leaving in equal measure.
Much like with Netflix, third-party titles will often leave the service at a moment's notice and so if you've already invested a lot of time in them it can be quite frustrating. Of course, not everything is available on Game Pass to begin with and its library is not fixed either. Not to mention there's a terrific backwards compatibility library for you to sink your teeth into as well. With brand-new AAA blockbusters like Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and Rainbow Six Extraction at your fingertips (ready to be downloaded with just the press of a button) you could theoretically pay for a 12-month membership and never have to buy another title for the rest of the year.
While March is shaping up to be an incredibly busy month in terms of new releases, things are looking a little quiet for Xbox Game Pass.ĭepending on how much free time you have and what genres you're into, Microsoft's premium subscription service can offer unparalleled value for money.
