It’s another month, which means that it’s another round of title additions (and subtractions) from Xbox Game Pass. With every new game we welcome with open arms, there is another game that we must say farewell to. This is the circle of Game Pass.

In a blog post, Xbox has announced what’s new for Game Pass in March 2024. There is one game that is available to play right now, some more games that are coming throughout the rest of the month, and a number of games that are leaving the subscription service.

Launching on Xbox Game Pass in March 2024

Here’s everything that’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2024:

The first game to come out in January is Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, which launches on March 5th and is available on Cloud, Console, and PC.

PAW Patrol World – March 7th

The next game to come out in March is PAW Patrol World, which will be available on Cloud, Console, and PC. It will launch on the service on March 7th.

Explore the world of “PAW Patrol” like never before, in a 3D action adventure where anything is PAWsible.

Leaving Xbox Game Pass in March

With new games being added, there will also be games that we lose. The following games will removed from Xbox Game Pass on March 15, 2024:

  • Hardspace: Shipbreaker (Cloud, Console, and PC)
  • Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered (Cloud, Console, and PC)

While we say goodbye to three games, we’re getting a sweet deal on the other side. There’s a lot to play in March!
