What you need to know

  • Xbox Game Pass is an evolving gaming subscription service that grants access to a growing pool of Xbox and PC games.
  • On Tuesday, Xbox unveiled all the latest titles heading to Xbox and PC Game Pass in Feb. 2022.
  • The additions include games like the first CrossfireX campaign, Besiege, Edge of Eternity, and much more.
  • There's also a small batch of games leaving the service on Feb. 15, including The Medium and The Falconeer.

Xbox Game Pass is widely considered to be one of the best values in the video game industry, thanks to its robust selection of high-quality games spread across a variety of genres. That library continually expands over time, as Xbox unveils new Xbox Game Pass additions on average twice a month. As we enter Feb. 2022, Xbox has taken the wraps off the latest titles heading soon to Xbox and PC Game Pass.

Xbox Game Pass may not be getting injected with as many high profile games as last month, but there's still plenty about which to get excited. The best Xbox Game Pass games are getting some new company throughout the first couple weeks of February, including a highly-anticipated first-person shooter and a handful of beloved indie gems.

The headlining addition this month is CrossfireX. Or, at least, the first single-play campaign portion of CrossfireX, as the multiplayer is free-to-play. Players have been waiting on CrossfireX for ages, and it's officially just around the corner and is heading to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Elsewhere, players can look forward to additions like Besiege, Edge of Eternity, and Skul: The Hero Slayer, all of which are popular indie titles.

The games listed here can head anywhere Xbox Game Pass is available, including Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Because of the sheer volume of titles, it can be hard to keep track of all the games coming to and leaving from Xbox Game Pass.

Here are the games coming to and leaving from Xbox and PC Game Pass in Feb. 2022.
