Two new additions to Xbox Game Pass. Dynamic action and cosmic absurdity now available.

Calendar 2/12/2026

Xbox Game Pass subscribers can check out two fresh titles that have just joined the lineup today. Microsoft continues its busy week of releases, adding more titles to the catalog. Both games debut simultaneously on new platforms and are available immediately as part of the subscription. This is good news for gamers looking for something new at no additional cost. This time, the offer combines dynamic 2D action with an unusual simulator set in a space-themed atmosphere. Everyone will find something completely different here.

Quick Action in the Style of BlazBlue

The first novelty is BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, a two-dimensional action platformer that is a spin-off of the well-known fighting game series. The title was previously available on PC and mobile devices, and now it is also coming to consoles. The game focuses on dynamic battles, impressive visuals, and gameplay pace that can engage players for long sessions. It is a proposal for fans of fast, skillful action with a distinct, stylish character.

Aliens Pretending to Be Humans

The second premiere is Roadside Research, an unusual simulator set in the environment of a space station. Players take on the role of aliens trying to function like humans, leading to a series of absurd situations. The production is based on specific humor and an original idea, which may provide an interesting escape from larger, more serious premieres.

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