New Arrivals on Game Pass for February: Avowed and Madden NFL 25

Upcoming Titles Now Accessible with a Basic Subscription

Microsoft has just revealed the fresh roster of games coming to Game Pass this February. The lineup includes a highly anticipated release debut, a captivating indie surprise, and a fresh Madden installment.

The highlight? Subscribers can enjoy Avowed starting from day one. Previously, we expected Obsidian's fantasy blockbuster to arrive on February 18, and now it's confirmed that Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members can access it immediately. This role-playing game, experienced from a first-person perspective, is from the creators of Fallout: New Vegas, making it a noteworthy release. Set in a brand-new world, it's inspired by Pillars of Eternity.

Another unique entry is Another Crab’s Treasure, a 'soulslike' game that replaces the genre's usual dark themes with lively, cartoonish visuals. Despite the cheerful appearance, it's as challenging as ever. Players take on the role of a crab striving to recover its lost shell. This title becomes available on February 5 and can be accessed by both Game Pass Ultimate and Standard members.

In sports gaming, Madden NFL 25 makes its appearance—distinct from the Madden 25 from 2013—as the latest in EA's football simulation franchise. This Madden game joins the Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass libraries on February 6.

Instantly Available Titles

Previously somewhat unnoticed, Far Cry New Dawn, an FPS set in a post-apocalyptic world, is now accessible to all Game Pass subscribers. Released in 2019, this title adds a twist to the series with its setting in the aftermath of a nuclear event, providing an intriguing adventure.

Additionally, games that were previously exclusive to the Game Pass Ultimate tier are now open to Standard subscribers. Notable titles such as Starfield and Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes are joining the lineup on February 5, while Kingdom Two Crowns becomes available on February 13, broadening the offerings for the Standard subscription tier.
