Two new arrivals on Xbox Game Pass. Dynamic action and cosmic absurdity are now available.

Calendar 2/12/2026

Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass can check out two fresh offerings that have just arrived today. Microsoft continues its intense week of launches and adds more titles to the catalogue. Both games debut simultaneously on new platforms and are immediately available as part of the subscription. This is great news for players looking for something new at no extra cost. This time the offering combines dynamic 2D action with an unusual simulator set in a cosmic environment. Everyone will find something completely different here.

Fast Action in BlazBlue Style

The first novelty is BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, a 2D action platformer that serves as a spin-off of the well-known fighting game series. The title was previously available on PC and mobile devices, and is now also coming to consoles. The game focuses on dynamic battles, impressive graphics, and a gameplay pace that can captivate players for long sessions. It’s a proposition for fans of fast, skill-based action with a distinct, stylish character.

Aliens Pretending to be Humans

The second premiere is Roadside Research, an unusual simulator set in the context of a space station. Players take on the role of aliens trying to function like humans, which leads to a series of absurd situations. The production is based on specific humour and an original concept that could provide an interesting break from larger, more serious releases.

BlazBlue Entropy Effect X and Roadside Research are now available on Xbox Game Pass at no extra cost for subscribers. One game targets lovers of fast-paced 2D action, while the other appeals to fans of unconventional, creative simulators. This is another example of how Microsoft diversifies the service's library by combining different styles and genres in one week.
