Microsoft has just announced (via Xbox Wire) the next batch of games coming to Xbox Game Pass for the first half of February, and it’s stacked with a few big-time titles for RPG fans.
Some of the highlights include the critically acclaimed RPG Avowed coming to Xbox Game Pass Premium, the insane pirate-themed action-adventure beat em’ up Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, the upcoming whacky FPS High On Life 2, and the modern darkhorse turned instant classic RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Among the many games on that list, the one I’m looking most forward to trying on Xbox Game Pass is Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a single-player RPG set in 1400s Bohemia, where you embark on a journey to avenge your murdered family at the hands of Hungarian invaders while becoming embroiled in a civil war that will determine the fate of the kingdom.
I’ve heard many good things about the Kingdom Come: Deliverance series to the point where my colleague, Brendan Lowry, gave Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a perfect 5/5 review score while stating that it should’ve won the best RPG award at the 2025 Game Awards instead of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
With such a bold claim like that, I have to check out this series to see if it can live up to the hype that the first game is on Xbox Game Pass.
The other game I’m most interested in trying out on Xbox Game Pass is Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
It’s an insane, wacky spin-off of the Like a Dragon series starring the fan-favorite Goro Majima, where you explore the seven seas for treasure while fighting pirates and yakuza in high-octane beat em’ sections and over-the-top naval combat that would make Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag proud.
Curiously enough, only one game is leaving Xbox Game Pass on February 15, and it is Madden NFL 24. This is fine by me, because that means I get to have more time playing titles added to the library like Death Stranding, which shot up in popularity when it got added to Xbox Game Pass.
Stay tuned for more news when the next batch of Xbox Game Pass titles arrives in the second half of February 2026.
Are you excited to play any of the new titles announced for Xbox Game Pass? Are there any games you would like to see added to the subscription service?
