Xbox Game Pass Goes Big With Day One Games This Week

Xbox Game Pass has three new games this week, all day one releases.

By Tyler Fischer

Xbox Game Pass subscribers across Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PC have been treated to not just three new games this week, but three day one games. This means, the moment they released they were available via either Xbox Game Pass for console or Xbox Game Pass for PC. Of these three games is one game that is arguably the biggest release this week, though PS5 exclusive Stellar Blade may take umbrage with this claim. That game is Manor Lords, which is proving to be a substantial hit on Steam. The other two new day one Xbox Game Pass games are not as notable, but they are still day one drops for subscribers. 

How long any of these games are going to be available via Xbox Game Pass, we don't know. Per usual, Microsoft does not disclose this information. None are EA Play games or come from Xbox Game Studios, Bethesda, or Activision Blizzard, so all are presumably limited-time ordels. 

Below, you can check out all three new Xbox Game Pass games that were added this week: 

Manor Lords – PC

About: "Manor Lords is a strategy game that allows you to experience the life of a medieval lord. Grow your starting village into a bustling city, manage resources and production chains, and expand your lands through conquest. Inspired by the art and architecture of late 14th century Franconia, Manor Lords prioritizes historical accuracy wherever possible, using it to inform gameplay mechanics and visuals alike. Common medieval tropes are avoided in favor of historical accuracy, in order to make the world feel more authentic, colorful, and believable.
