The year 2021 is coming to an end and it will have been prolific for subscribers to the Xbox Game Pass, especially with big releases like Psychonauts 2, Halo Infinite ou Forza Horizon 5. The service has integrated for approximately 5 euros worth of games in 600, enough to position itself as the best good video game plan of the year.
Microsoft intends to continue its momentum and already plans to integrate 31 games into the Xbox Game Pass catalog in 2022. Obviously, others will be revealed later as announcements and revelations of all kinds.
Xbox exclusive games
This was one of the gripes of the Xbox One: the lack of exclusive content. The American manufacturer does not want to repeat its mistakes with the new generation, to the point of having bought the studios of Bethesda and Zenimax. The year 2022 should be marked by the first big Xbox Series X and S exclusives: Redfall and Starfield. They will be accompanied by smaller titles reserved for Microsoft consoles, but just as expected by their community.

Third party games
In an effort to convince as many players as possible, the Xbox Game Pass also hosts many games developed by third-party studios. Sometimes hot simultaneously or shortly after their release like Back 4 Blood, sometimes cold, like the Final Fantasy saga. 2022 should continue this momentum. Although the current roster is quite thin at the moment, surprise arrivals will no doubt be in order.
- Windjammers 2 (January 20)
Edge of Eternity (10 février)
Total War: Warhammer 3 (February 17)
The Plague Tale: Requiem
Crusader Kings 3
Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising
Sniper Elite 5
indie games
One of the strengths of Xbox Game Pass is the diversity of its catalog. The service is committed to putting more confidential productions in the spotlight by offering several independent games on the day of their release. 2022 will be no exception to the rule with already some confirmed titles.
