Xbox Game Pass Adds Hit Soulslike and 4 More Games

Xbox Game Pass has gained two new games, and its Premium plan now includes three more. The biggest addition is Remnant 2, which is available on the service again after a previous appearance.

Released in July 2023 by Gunfire Games, Remnant 2 is a popular soulslike game. It’s received a “Strong” rating on OpenCritic, averaging 82 out of 100 from 117 reviews, with 86% of critics recommending it. Reviewers especially liked the engaging cooperative gameplay and the game’s high replayability, which is enhanced by its randomly generated levels. Remnant 2 has become known for successfully blending third-person shooting with the challenging elements of soulslike games, including stamina management, detailed environments, and a checkpoint system similar to those found in FromSoftware titles.

Remnant 2 Is Now Officially Back on Xbox Game Pass

Just under a year after being removed from Xbox Game Pass in mid-2025, the popular soulslike game Remnant 2 is back! It’s available on all Game Pass tiers except the Essential plan. Remnant 2 was on the service for 18 months previously, and if the new agreement is similar, it could stay available until late 2027. Its return also coincides with the reappearance of My Friend Peppa Pig, which was previously on Xbox Game Pass from July 2022 to June 2025.
