Avowed, Madden NFL 25, and More Coming to Xbox Game Pass

Each new month brings exciting additions to Xbox Game Pass, and February is no exception. Whether you’re a fan of role-playing games or sports franchises, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat. One of the most anticipated arrivals is Obsidian Entertainment’s role-playing game, Avowed, hitting the service on February 18, 2025, a date to bookmark for sure. Not only that, but Madden NFL 25 will also join the lineup, thanks to EA Play.

There’s particularly good news for those with the Standard-tier subscription as well. Bethesda Game Studios’ much-talked-about Starfield is finally coming to them, alongside the unexpectedly tough Another Crab’s Treasure. Here’s a look at the games heading to Xbox Game Pass over the coming weeks:

Don’t Miss Out! Games Leaving Xbox Game Pass on February 15

As with any update, some titles will be leaving Xbox Game Pass soon. If you’re eager to keep any of these games in your library, buying them is the way to go—and don’t forget, Game Pass members enjoy a discount on those purchases. Here’s what’s departing on February 15:

A Fresh Start with Some Standouts

February might not boast as large a selection of new additions as previous months, but the inclusion of Avowed is a standout highlight. Obsidian Entertainment’s latest RPG marks the beginning of a robust slate of first-party Xbox games for 2025. The momentum will only build with upcoming releases like Compulsion Games’ South of Midnight and id Software’s DOOM: The Dark Ages, among others.

Starfield making its way to the Standard tier is another notable update. Although there’s no predictable rhythm for when first-party titles added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass become available for Standard subscribers, this could hint that other anticipated games like Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 might not be far behind.

For fans of Windows and Xbox, keep your excitement levels high—February promises to bring plenty of content and updates worth diving into.
