The first batch of Xbox Game Pass games for 2026 has been revealed, with a strong lineup of seven games joining the service, including Resident Evil Village and Star Wars: Outlaws, and three titles already included in the service at the Ultimate tier now available at the second-rung, Premium tier.
One user on ResetEra called this batch a “damn good month,” and it’s no surprise considering how many big names are included in the first dump of Game Pass games to start off 2026. It even has at least one day-one release with MIO: Memories in Orbit, a new metroidvania from publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Douze Dixièmes.
Arguably, the biggest additions to the subscription service this month are the aforementioned Resident Evil Village and Star Wars: Outlaws, along with Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, the new remaster of the original Little Nightmares that was released last year and included in any player’s pre-order of Little Nightmares III.
As for what’s being made available to Premium tier subscribers, players at the second tier will be able to play Atomfall, Rematch, Lost in Random: The Eternal Die, and Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine – Master Crafted Edition without having to jump up to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
