• Big Hitter Arrivals: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt headline a massive month for RPG fans.
  • Service Milestones: Avowed marks one year of support with a massive "Premium" update featuring New Game Plus.
  • Day One Additions: Aerial_Knight’s DropShot and Dice A Million join the service the moment they launch.
  • The Departure List: Four major titles, including Injustice 2 and Shadow of War, exit the library on February 28.

Immediate Drops: New Perspectives and Major Overhauls

If you’re looking for something to play right this second, Microsoft just dropped a heavy-hitting trio. Our take? The Avowed update is the real sleeper hit here. It’s been a year since launch, and they’re capping off the roadmap with New Game Plus, new playable races, and the Quarterstaff weapon type. It’s a total QoL overhaul that makes a second playthrough actually worth the grind.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Cloud, Console, PC)

The Western Frontier just got a significant upgrade. While the game launched as a first-person experience, today’s update introduces a third-person mode. This is a game-changer for players who want to actually see their Na’vi’s gear and movements while navigating the environment. If you skipped it at launch, this is the version to play.

Aerial_Knight’s DropShot (Cloud, Console, PC)

This is a Day One launch. It’s a high-speed, stylized FPS/Race hybrid. You play as Smoke Wallace, a kid with "bullet-firing fingertips" thanks to a radioactive dragon bite. It’s weird, it’s fast, and it’s included with Game Pass today.

Coming Soon: Fantasy Epics and Gridiron Glory

The late February window is leaning heavily into the "Ultimate" and "Premium" tiers, particularly with the arrival of EA's latest football sim and a legendary monster hunter.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition (Feb 19)

Geralt returns to the service, and this isn't just the base game. We’re looking at the Complete Edition, which means all the DLC and branching story consequences that made this the gold standard for open-world RPGs. If you’ve never chased down Ciri, there are no more excuses.

EA Sports College Football 26 (Feb 19)

Available for Ultimate subscribers via EA Play, this brings 136 FBS schools and a staggering 10,000 college athletes to the platform. Ultimate members also get a "Supercharge Pack" between February 19 and March 20, which should give your team a nice head start in the meta.

Towerborne: Full Release (Feb 26)

The preview period is over. The full launch on February 26 brings more story content, new areas, and a major shift in how you get loot—cosmetic rewards are now earned strictly through gameplay. They’ve also added offline play, which is a massive win for preservation and solo players.

March 3 Power Plays

Mark your calendars for early March, because two massive RPGs are landing simultaneously. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II puts you back in the boots of Henry of Skalitz for a gritty, 15th-century Bohemian civil war. It’s a hardcore Action RPG that doesn’t hold your hand. Alongside it, Final Fantasy III arrives for the retro fans, rounding out the classic library on the service.

Updates and "In Case You Missed It"

The library just got a tactical infusion with Menace (Game Preview) and the definitive ARPG experience in Diablo II: Resurrected. If you’re into shooters with a sense of humor, High on Life 2 is already live, featuring the usual array of talking guns and intergalactic conspiracies.

Overwatch: Season 1: Conquest (Feb 10)

The "Conquest" event is live, introducing five new heroes simultaneously. This isn't just a minor patch; it's a faction-driven event where Overwatch and Talon collide, effectively shifting the narrative and gameplay meta for the season.

The Chopping Block: Leaving February 28

You have until the end of the month to finish these up. Middle Earth: Shadow of War and Injustice 2 are the biggest losses here. If you want to keep them, use your member discount to grab them at 20% off before they disappear from the library.

  • Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
