Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate had five day-one games this week, including a PS5 console exclusive that was stealth released on Xbox Series X and the subscription service, and one of the biggest Xbox Game Pass releases of the year. Meanwhile, there are a couple of smaller releases as well that subscribers may have missed as a result of a few more noteworthy drops this week.

As always, Microsoft does not disclose any information on how long any of these Xbox and PC games will be available via the subscription service; however, one is an Xbox Game Studios’ release so it should be a permanent addition. This doesn’t apply to the other four though.
