Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass February 2025 Wave 1 lineup.
Out today, February 4, is Far Cry New Dawn (Cloud, Console, and PC) across Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard. In a post on Xbox Wire, Microsoft described the Ubisoft shooter as follows: “Dive into a transformed, vibrant, post-apocalyptic Hope County, Montana, 17 years after a global nuclear catastrophe. Lead the fight against the Highwaymen as they seek to take over the last remaining resources.”
February 5 is a big day for Game Pass, with a number of additions to the Game Pass Standard tier. Another Crab’s Treasure (Console), Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Console), and Starfield (Xbox Series X|S) all hit Game Pass Standard then.
And here’s a big one: on February 6, Madden NFL 25 (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass via EA Play.
Fast forward to February 13, and Kingdom Two Crowns (Cloud and Console) makes a return to Game Pass via Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Standard. “In Kingdom Two Crowns, players must work in the brand-new solo or co-op campaign mode to build their kingdom and secure it from the threat of the Greed. Experience new technology, units, enemies, mounts, and secrets in the next evolution of the award-winning micro strategy franchise!”
Then, on February 18, another big one: Obsidian’s Avowed (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) launches as a day-one Game Pass launch across Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
