Xbox Game Pass Adds 3 Games, Including a Day-One Title That Almost Didn’t Make It

The journey to release for Pigeon Simulator was quite a rollercoaster. Bossa Studios, the creators of I Am Bread and Surgeon Simulator, first announced the game in mid-2019. Two years later, tinyBuild, an indie publisher, took over the project and assigned it to their internal studio, HakJak Studios in Idaho. Unfortunately, HakJak Studios was closed in December 2023 during a company restructuring, leaving the future of Pigeon Simulator unclear. A representative from HakJak stated the game’s fate was now entirely in tinyBuild’s hands. Finally, in early November 2025, Microsoft announced Pigeon Simulator would be available on Xbox Game Pass, confirming the game was still in development and on track for release.
