Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service has unveiled an exciting roster of twelve new titles joining its library throughout February 2026, offering subscribers a diverse range of gaming experiences across multiple genres. The month's additions include immediate releases, a highly anticipated day-one launch, and the prequel to a critically acclaimed role-playing game that many considered among 2025's finest.
Immediate Access and Timely Sports Addition
Subscribers can dive into two titles right away: Final Fantasy II and Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, both available immediately through Premium and PC Game Pass subscriptions. These classic and quirky offerings provide instant entertainment for gamers looking for something new to play.
In a perfectly timed move, Madden NFL 26 arrives on February 5th across Cloud, Console, and PC platforms through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions. This strategic release comes just days before the real-world Super Bowl, allowing football fans to enjoy virtual gridiron action ahead of the championship game. Notably, the older Madden NFL 24 will be removed from the service on February 15th.
Family-Friendly Racing and Major Day-One Release
February 5th also brings Paw Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship to Premium and Ultimate subscribers, offering lighthearted racing fun suitable for younger players and families. However, the month's most significant addition arrives on February 13th with High On Life 2, the sequel to the eccentric first-person shooter created by the minds behind the cult animated series Rick and Morty.
This day-one release will be available through Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions, playable across Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms. The original High On Life gained considerable attention for its unique humor and gameplay mechanics, making this sequel one of February's most anticipated arrivals.
Prequel to Acclaimed RPG and Additional Highlights
Also arriving on February 13th is Kingdom Come Deliverance, the 2018 open-world RPG that serves as the prequel to its critically acclaimed 2025 sequel. This story-driven medieval adventure immerses players in the Holy Roman Empire era as they explore Bohemia and seek vengeance for their parents' death. With a Metacritic score of 76 on PC, this title offers Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC subscribers insight into the foundations of what became one of 2025's most celebrated role-playing experiences.
Further enhancing February's lineup, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora arrives on February 17th through Game Pass Ultimate and PC subscriptions, while Avowed, the highly anticipated RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, finally becomes available through Game Pass Premium on the same date.
