We've got hundreds and hundreds of new releases coming to Xbox in 2025, and inevitably there will be plenty of free-to-play releases amongst them! In fact, we already know about quite a few, including some major upcoming titles such as EA's Skate reboot and the massively popular action-RPG Path of Exile 2 later in the year.

Now that 2025 has begun, new games are slowly trickling onto Xbox Game Pass. While heavy hitters like Avowed and South of Midnight aren’t here just yet, Microsoft is kicking off the new year by bringing back two amazing indie titles to its gaming subscription service and bringing some entertaining survival games down to the Game Pass Standard tier on console.
