With spring just around the corner, there’s a breath of fresh air blowing into the world of video games. While the flowers are beginning to bloom outside, Microsoft is providing us with quite a few in front of the console new gameswhich in March in the Xbox Game Pass should come. And of course we don’t want to withhold from you which ones it is.
The Xbox Game Pass in March
Xbox Game Pass: 5 new games are already waiting in March 2023
As always, Microsoft has been reluctant to peddle fresh fodder for its gaming subscription. Nevertheless, we already know of five new games that are scheduled to come to Xbox Game Pass in March 2023. As always, not only console players get their money’s worth, but also PC players are considered.
And like every month, you can rest assured that this is not the end of it. As past experience shows, you can expect more titles Microsoft has in store for Xbox Game Pass throughout the month of March. A confirmation of this usually follows in the second half of the month, but until then there is enough variety in the form of the five new games that are included in the subscription anyway.
Also exciting: Missed last month? Not so wild: We also show you the new games that came with Xbox Game Pass in February.
If you’re in the mood for adrenaline-pumping adventures, then the spiritual successor to the Nioh series, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, should give you a good start. If the heavy Soulslike is a bit too hard for you, but you don’t want to do without action and the necessary portion of tension, the latest part of the “F1” series will probably come in handy for you. In mid-March, things continue with wild Viking survival in “Valheim”, no less exciting, before the month ends on a sporty note with the current “MLB” part.
All new games in March at a glance
Although we only know of five confirmed titles that will be added to Xbox Game Pass as new games in March, it still doesn’t hurt to list them in order of release date for the sake of clarity. We also tell you which genre each game belongs to, so that you can perhaps make a small selection in advance of the games that are more exciting for you:
| title | Genre | Datum |
|---|---|---|
| “F1 22” | Rennsimulation | 2nd March |
| „Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty“ | Action-RPG, Adventure | 3 March |
| “Valheim” | Survival | the 14th of March |
| „MLB The Show 23“ | Sport | 28th March |
| „Way to the Woods“ | Adventure, Indian | March 2023 |
The highlights of the new month are presented
Among the five new games that we can welcome to the Xbox Game Pass in March, there are of course one or two highlights. Basically, all of them can be seen, but you will probably find the highlight of the current calendar month in the recently released “Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty”.
If the Asian-inspired action-adventure doesn’t appeal to you at all, you’ll at least be offered alternative options of the same quality: With “F1 22” you can accelerate completely non-violently and satisfy your desire for adrenaline kicks on the asphalt instead of on the battlefield.
#1 “F1 22” (March 2nd)
Matching the start of the current Formula 1 season, the first race of which will be held on March 5th, you too can climb into the cockpit via the Xbox Game Pass. Publisher EA and developer Codemasters have created what is probably the best part of the series so far with “F1 22”, the current offshoot of the series. You can of course adapt to all drivers, cars, teams and tracks of the most popular motorsport league in the world.
In addition to the well-tried, “F1 22” naturally also comes up with some innovations. This is how you can snag all sorts of cool upgrades for your off-track life. Be it cool clothing for your driver or a luxurious body that you can even drive out during certain events. Otherwise, the developers have given the game a proper facelift in the form of gameplay that has only become more realistic.
#2 Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (March 3)
Arguably the most exciting new game coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2023 is Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. Written by Team Ninja, it is the successor to the “Nioh” games, the first and second parts of which are still particularly popular among genre fans. Of course, the developers are not staying true to the basic idea of a rock-hard combat system Even for action junkies, the “Nioh” titles were considered a demanding task at the time.
Set in ancient China, the world is haunted by demons chasing a mysterious elixir that promises immortality. In order to save mankind, from now on you can shred your way through hordes of enemies in close combat, demonstrating a skilled hand and a cool head in order to dodge at the right moment or parry enemy attacks. Of course, there is also a range of exciting special abilities that are intended to spice up the already varied combat system.
Games leaving Xbox Game Pass by the end of March
