Xbox Game Pass Announcements Have Been Different, Here’s What We Know

Xbox Game Pass announcements have looked a little differently recently. At the beginning of the month and mid-month, Xbox traditionally releases official announcements stating what games are arriving and departing the service. But recent Game Pass additions have taken the form of sporadic surprise announcements.

For January, Stranded Deep and Mortal Shell were added to Game Pass suddenly. Shadow Warrior 3 is also rumored, but unconfirmed right now, due to a notification some players received. The message stated Shadow Warrior 3 is available to “play now,” suggesting the game will be available soon on Game Pass.
