We’re only halfway through March, and we’re already getting another round of title additions (and subtractions) from Xbox Game Pass. With every new game we welcome with open arms, there is another game that we must say farewell to. This is the circle of Game Pass.
In a blog post, Xbox has announced what’s new for Game Pass in the second half of March 2024. There is one game that is available to play right now, some more games that are coming throughout the rest of the month, and a number of games that are leaving the subscription service.
The announcement comes only two weeks after the company announced its first wave of updates to Game Pass in March, so this month is turning out to have a lot going on for subscribers. Let’s jump in.

Here’s everything that’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of March 2024:
