Xbox Game Pass continues to be the most popular subscription service in gaming for a reason, offering players countless hours of entertainment in the form of day-one releases and new games constantly being added.
Xbox Game Pass members have had a great start to 2026, with a host of new games added to the service and many more on the way in the upcoming months. While Xbox will typically make major announcements when a new lineup rolls out, three games were quietly added to Xbox Game Pass recently that you may have missed entirely (via XboxEra).
Xbox Game Pass Has Added 3 New Freebies
2026 has already been packed with great new additions to Game Pass, but new games were just quietly added to the service. But to give players an even better start to the year, Xbox Game Pass has officially added three new games to play on the service: Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, Brews & Bastards, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
The original Little Nightmares is the puzzle-platformer horror game that kicked the series off way back in 2017, and it’s a great addition to the service considering Little Nightmares 2 is available as well, which serves as a prequel to the first game. You can now play the first two entries on Xbox Game Pass for free and see what this highly-regarded puzzle adventure is all about.
Brews & Bastards is an indie “twin-stick shooter” and action RPG that lets players take on the role of various drunken heroes and fight intoxicated enemies, with hilarious and extremely fun gameplay that’s worth checking out if you’re a fan of RPGs. Finally, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is well worth playing for fans of the franchise, and it follows Basim Ibn Ishaq through the streets of 9th-century Baghdad in a quintessential AC experience.
Lots To Keep You Busy
These new additions to Xbox Game Pass are certain to keep you busy for hours, and there’s a little something for fans of all different genres as well with these three freebies. Xbox Game Pass games added to the service are not guaranteed to stay up forever, so you’ll want to add these to your list of games to play next and take advantage of them while they’re free.
As with all Game Pass games, players can purchase these games at a massive discount with their Xbox Game Pass subscription so that they’re still available to play once they’re eventually delisted from the service.
