Microsoft used its Xbox E3 livestreamed event Sunday to talk about most of the games we wanted to hear about: Starfield, Halo Infinite, Stalker 2 and even Diablo II Remastered. But what was especially interesting was how many of the games mentioned by the Xbox team at E3 2021 are coming to Xbox Game Pass, the console, PC and cloud game-subscription service.

A couple of new games are coming to Game Pass this month, and many more are arriving later in 2021. The list Microsoft talked about today includes:

  • Yakuza: Like a Dragon, June 13
  • Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance, June 22
  • Flight Simulator (for Xbox), July 27
  • The Ascent, July 29 
  • Hades, Aug. 13
  • Twelve Minutes, Aug. 19
  • Psychonauts 2, Aug. 25
  • Aragami 2, Sept. 17
  • Sable, Sept. 23
  • Back 4 Blood, Oct. 12
  • Age of Empires IV, Oct. 28
