Everything joining Xbox Game Pass in March 2023 (for now)
The Xbox Game Pass lineup is a little thinner this month, at least in terms of announcements.
Starting with the free Games With Gold for Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold subscribers, you can get Trüberbrook’s point-and-click adventure and WW2 real-time strategy game Sudden Strike 4: European Battlefields Edition starting at 1 Martha. Then on March 1, January 16, the indie survival horror game Lamentum will also join this month’s GWG offerings. These games are free to download and will remain in your library as long as you subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold.
The Game Pass library, on the other hand, has several new titles, including day one launches of highly anticipated action game Wo Long Fallen Dynasty and atmospheric indie game Way To The Woods . Game Pass subscribers will also get the fan-favorite Nordic survival game Valheim on March 14, as well as several sports games provided by EA Play. As usual, other Game Pass games will likely be announced later this month on the official Xbox Wire blog .
