Over 50 Classic Games Are Coming to Xbox Game Pass

One standout advantage of Xbox Game Pass lies in its ability to play brand-new titles as soon as they become available. Being able to jump right into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and DOOM: The Dark Ages on their release days is truly enjoyable.

At times, it might be that you prefer not to engage with the latest video games. Instead, perhaps you yearn for a nostalgic journey back to the originals, where you can relive the classics.

If you share such a character trait, here’s an exciting piece of information: Xbox, in partnership with Antstream Arcade, is planning to add more than 50 classic retro games to its Game Pass collection!

Above all, these retro games offer a trip back in time, showcasing Activision’s rich history with titles like Commando, Grand Prix, and Pitfall!

According to Dean Shinabukuro from the Xbox Services Marketing team, this project is part of our dedication to preserving classic games and ensuring they can be played on contemporary devices.
