Xbox Game Pass Confirms Arrival of Beloved Trilogy

Key Takeaways

  • Spyro Reignited Trilogy is joining Xbox Game Pass on November 12.
  • The beloved remake trio is expected to be available across all non-Core tiers of Xbox Game Pass.

As a seasoned gamer with over three decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia at the news that Spyro Reignited Trilogy is joining Xbox Game Pass on November 12th. I remember playing the original trilogy back in the late ’90s and early 2000s, and the joy those games brought me is something I’ll never forget.


The popular video game service, Xbox Game Pass, is set to include the highly anticipated Spyro Reignited Trilogy. According to recent announcements by Microsoft, this addition will significantly enhance the variety of top-tier platform games available on Xbox Game Pass.

After Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard in October 2023, they gained ownership of the Spyro IP. Contrary to some fans’ expectations, the “Spyro Reignited Trilogy” did not instantly become part of their subscription service due to the acquisition. Instead, Microsoft stated that they needed time to prepare the Activision Blizzard library for integration with Xbox Game Pass.

The much praised group is officially joining Microsoft’s subscription library, as it was recently announced that the Spyro Reignited Trilogy will hit Xbox Game Pass on November 12th. Since this collection of remakes isn’t a day-one release, it should be accessible across all tiers of the service except for the Core tier. As of now, Microsoft hasn’t clarified whether Spyro Reignited Trilogy will support Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch, but given their history with XGP releases, it seems probable that it will.

Xbox Game Pass Will Soon Have 12 Activision Blizzard Games

The addition of this three-game series will increase the number of Activision Blizzard games available on Xbox Game Pass to 12. This subscription service has already added titles like Diablo 4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (which also includes three games), Overwatch 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, StarCraft: Remastered, and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection for PC in the past. The latest additions were made on November 5. There are still several popular Activision Blizzard titles yet to join Xbox Game Pass, such as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and pre-2023 versions of Call of Duty.

Regarding the upcoming release, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is set to significantly enhance the collection of outstanding platform games available on Xbox Game Pass. Developed by Toys For Bob, this remake trilogy received widespread acclaim when it first launched in late 2018, as underscored by its “Strong” OpenCritic rating. This score represents an average of 81 and a 84% recommendation rate from reviewers.
