Nearly a year after adding Diablo 4 to Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft has now brought the original Diablo and several other titles to the service. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate-- a CNET Editors' Choice award pick-- offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X,

The one confirmed Xbox Game Pass release of February 2025 right now is Avowed, which arrives on February 18th. This is the first release from Xbox Game Studios of the year, and it's being developed by the good people at Obsidian, which is a renowned studio known for the likes of Grounded and The Outer Worlds in recent years.

EA Sports UFC 5 is available today on Game Pass and the EA Play List. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play members who haven’t purchased the game can download it at no extra cost with their subscription on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Just days after we learned of several games leaving Xbox Game Pass, two more departures have been revealed by EA.

Back in July 2024, Microsoft raised the price of Xbox Game Pass by up to 25% on some tiers, with Ultimate going from £12.99 to £14.99 per month. Snapping up this deal while it lasts will futureproof you against any potential further price hikes that may happen in the year ahead.

This pass features member deals and is an excellent way to test out titles to make sure you like them before purchasing them outright.

The free Xbox app is a great way to manage Game Pass, check out what your friends on Xbox Live are doing, and even earn some Microsoft reward points, too. But did you also know that inside the app is a free puzzle game that is fun to play and can earn you credits toward your next Xbox purchase?
