Titles Launching Day 1 on Xbox Game Pass
Starfield
Starfield was the most foreseen game of the whole event. The long-awaited complete gameplay reveal for Starfield has arrived. Exploring planets, killing opponents, mining, scanning, and digital lockpicking appear to be part of the game’s more grounded space adventure experience. Starfield is set for a release in 2023 and will be available on day 1 on the Xbox Game Pass.
Redfall
At the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Redfall made its second appearance. Layla and her telekinetic talents, as well as ghostly elevators, are featured in this gameplay clip. We also received a full tour of the island where the game would be played.
The teaser also revealed all of the characters’ powers in Red Fall. Remi de la Rosa is a vampire-killing machine gun-wielding engineer with a robot partner. Devinder then shares his wide knowledge of vampires as well as macgyvered tools to trap adversaries. It will also be available on day 1 for Game Pass.
STALKER 2: Heart of Chernobyl
Stalker 2 will further add to the story of an already award-winning first game. The game will feature beautiful cut scenes and underground labs. The game will also feature an open world which people can explore. Here is your first look at the game and it will be a day launch on Xbox game pass.
Hollow Knight: Silksong
At the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Hollow Knight Silksong was confirmed as a day one Xbox Game Pass release.

It was also revealed that it will be available on Game Pass on Day One. It will be a sequel to the original game launched in 2015 and will continue will the survival genre but in an older Jurassic era setting.

Scorn’s very visual and wet gameplay was shown off in a first peek trailer. Every surface and figure in the H.R.

The first teaser of the game came out 5 years ago but only now have we gotten our new look and gameplay reveal. Scorn will be released on October 21, 2022, and will be accessible on Game Pass on Day One.

It’ll be available on Game Pass as a Day One title in Spring 2023.
