One of the first major Xbox Game Pass additions of 2026 is going to be a delight for fans of Cyberpunk 2077 and the cyberpunk genre as a whole when it arrives in Q1 next year. There’s a lot going on with Microsoft’s subscription service recently. Following the introduction of the tier-based system, there has been a continuous influx of new titles, as well as some removals. For example, Routine joined Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release.
There are also a few more releases planned for Xbox Game Pass in December, before we move into 2026, but one game arriving next year has already caught players’ attention. Replaced will join Xbox Game Pass on March 12, 2026, as seen in its trailer on Reddit. While this is certainly not the first game being added to the service next year, it’s one of the first major hits for the catalog in 2026.
Replaced Is Officially Coming To Xbox Game Pass
The Game Is A Day-One Release
Replaced’s addition as part of the Xbox Game Pass lineup in 2026 is significant, as it is also a day-one release. Because of this, Replaced will only be available for the Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers, meaning that Essential and Premium members will have to upgrade their subscriptions to gain access to the title via Game Pass. The title will be available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
It’s also been announced that Replaced will have the Play Anywhere system, meaning that you can play on whichever of the aforementioned platforms and pick up from where you left off on another. The indie game’s addition to the catalog in March 2026 likely means that it will be available through March 2027, so you should have plenty of time to play it after it releases.
Cyberpunk 2077 Fans Should Keep An Eye On This One
Replaced Is Set In A Dystopian, Futuristic World
While its game style is certainly different from Cyberpunk 2077, fans of CD Projekt RED’s hit RPG may have a good time with Replaced. This is because there are some big similarities between them. The first of them is the cyberpunk theme itself, though with hints of retro-futuristic style. The game is also said to have a heavy investment in its story.
Alternatively, however, Replaced is a 2.5D action platformer. You’ll control R.E.A.C.H., which is an AI stuck in a human body. The game is set in Phoenix City. Fans of Cyberpunk 2077 should be thrilled with the game’s intense action sequences and ultraviolence, too. Moreover, Replaced features gorgeous graphics and a remarkable art style.
