Tonight’s Xbox Partner Preview showcase has now concluded, and we’ve got a fresh list of new day one Xbox Game Pass launches to look forward to.
Alongside all the announcements and new trailers today, five more titles were confirmed to arrive day and date into Microsoft’s gaming subscription service — including a couple of games available to play today!
Head below for the full rundown of everything announced as coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one.
Armatus
A third-person roguelite shooter from Godfall developer Counterplay Games, today’s first-look trailer showed a world-ending event that leaves you as a masked warrior, trying to claim back the streets of Paris from demons.
Armatus is set to arrive for cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S in 2026. We don’t have a firm release date yet, but Xbox Game Pass subscribers will gain access at launch.
CloverPit
Calling all Balatro fans, your next roguelite casino fix is here. Nightmare slot machine Cloverpit lets you gamble for your life, as well as some snazzy prizes.
Already available on PC, today’s Xbox Partner Preview announced the game’s Xbox version — and confirmed it is available today as a shadow drop! Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium members can get playing via cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Crowsworn
A stylish Metroidvania focused on traversal mechanics and combat moves, we’ve had our eye on Crownsworn for a while. There’s still no launch date, but it’ll land on Xbox Game Pass day one whenever it does arrive for cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S owners.
One important note: Microsoft has confirmed you’ll need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for this one, initially at least. Oh, and it’s also coming to Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5 (though there’s obviously no Game Pass there).
Echo Generation 2
Swapping its Goonies aesthetic for something more akin to X-Files, Cococucumber’s Echo Generation sequel appears to be offering a more grown-up story and setting this time around.
Echo Generation 2 launches for Xbox Game Pass via cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S at some point during 2026.
Erosion
Plot Twist, the developer behind The Last Case of Benedict Fox is back with an action-packed, Western roguelite, with a 3D pixel aesthetic. (And yes, Plot Twist is also their name.) Can you save the world before your constant retries see it wither away?
Today’s showcase saw the game listed as coming to Xbox Game Pass via cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S. An Xbox Game Preview build will also launch on PC in spring 2026.
Raji: Kaliyuga
Revealed tonight with a dazzling cinematic trailer, this sequel to isometric action adventure Raji: An Ancient Epic will return to ancien India for more exploits — now in full third-person. There’s more of a focus on the war between gods, asuras and mystical forces this time around, as well as the conflicts of us mere mortals.
There’s no word yet on when Raji: Kaliyuga will arrive, but it’ll be dropping into Xbox Game Pass for cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S owners whenever it does.
Roadside Research
It’s time to uncover the truth about alien sightings in rural America — by playing as one working undercover at a gas station. Oh, and rather than collecting information on your own species, you’re surveying us, humans. Hello!
Describing itself as a comedic co-op simulator, Roadside Research will beam down onto the Xbox Game Pass catalogue for Ultimate subscribers in early 2026, via the cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Total Chaos
Another shadow drop today, Total Chaos is the latest game from the maker of Turbo Overkill, and not for those of a faint heart. This first-person survival horror will see you foraging for scraps to fend off the game’s creepy creatures — but you won’t need to look far in order to play it.
Total Chaos has jump scared its way onto Xbox Game Pass today for Ultimate subscribers via the cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
Vampire Crawlers
Last and certainly not least, Vampire Survivors creator Poncle has announced Vampire Crawlers, a dungeon-crawling deckbuilder that will reunite undead hunters with their bible and garlic.
We can’t wait to play this one, though there’s no release date quite yet. Still, whenever it does arise, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to play on day one via the cloud, PC and Xbox Series X/S.
For a full roundup of absolutely everything announced during Microsoft’s Xbox Partner Preview — well, look no further.
