Xbox Game Pass Starts 2026 By Gaining Resident Evil Village And Losing Neon White
Today marks 2026's first new batch of Game Pass games, and while there have certainly been more exciting lineups, there's still a few games here worth looking forward to. Today, you can play the enhanced edition of Little Nightmares, which gives a graphical boost to the 2017 puzzle platformer as well as Brews & Bastards, a twin-stick dungeon crawler starring a cast of drunken heroes.
Tomorrow, Game Pass Premium subscribers will also gain access to a handful of titles that were previously locked to the Ultimate tier, including Atomfall, Lost in Random, Rematch, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - Master Crafted Edition. The following week introduces some more heavy hitters: Star Wars Outlaws makes its debut exclusively for Ultimate subscribers, while Resident Evil Village becomes available to Premium members a few weeks before its sequel drops. You can see the full list, as well as a lineup of the games leaving this month, below.
