Xbox Game Pass is set to provide a thrilling experience for gamers this February with the addition of six new titles. Among them is the highly anticipated Atomic Heart, which will be available on its release day, February 20. This game takes you into a captivating steampunk-ish utopian world where humans and robots once coexisted peacefully. However, a technological malfunction leads to the robotic beings gaining self-awareness and declaring war against their creators. Equipped with a power glove and advanced weaponry, players embark on explosive encounters in search of the truth behind this uprising. Atomic Heart will be accessible on PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
Just in time for the Super Bowl LVII event, Xbox is also introducing Madden NFL 23 to Game Pass. This highly popular football game will be available for free to EA Play subscribers, which is included in the Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
But Atomic Heart is not the only exciting addition this month. Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition will slash its way into Xbox Game Pass on February 16. This off-beat first-person shooter transports you to a mythical Asian land infested with demonic Yokai from Japanese folklore. Your mission is to reclaim an ancient dragon using a combination of katana skills and heavy firearms. Prepare for intense battles reminiscent of Doom as you navigate this high-octane adventure. Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition will be accessible on Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox One, and PC.
For those seeking a medieval experience, dive into an epic adventure with Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. Build your army, complete quests, raid enemy camps, and lead your forces in all-out battles against enemy troops. This game will be available on cloud, console, and PC starting February 14.
Current-gen console owners can look forward to Cities: Skylines arriving with a ‘Remastered’ tag on February 15. Taking full advantage of the consoles’ capabilities, this city-building simulator presents a visually enhanced experience on par with its PC counterpart. Assume the role of a mayor and design structures, streets, and balance essential public services such as education, law enforcement, and healthcare. Watch as the day and night cycle influence the flow of traffic, with realistic slowdowns once the sun sets. Cities: Skylines will be available on Xbox Series S/X and through cloud gaming.
Additionally, Xbox is catering to fans of mecha with the release of SD Gundam Battle Alliance. Immerse yourself in the iconic moments from the Gundam universe, only to find them threatened by a mysterious occurrence. Acquire powerful mobile suits and defend against this unexpected phenomenon.
For Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, an early access trial to Wild Hearts, EA’s response to the Monster Hunter franchise, awaits. Enter the fantasy landscape of Azuma three days earlier on February 13 to explore limited gameplay. Should you decide to purchase the game upon its official launch, all progress and save data will seamlessly carry over, along with a 10 percent discount for EA Play members.
