Microsoft has officially unveiled the second wave of games for Xbox Game Pass, and it's hard to call this a mere catalog update. This is one of the strongest lineups in recent years, combining major Day One releases with the exciting returns of iconic titles. The service is featuring expansive RPGs, spectacular AAA productions, and a few intriguing indies. Players are getting a mix of vast worlds, dynamic action, and extensive story campaigns. If anyone complained about the quiet start to the year, the second half of February changes everything. Xbox clearly shows that it wants to make a strong start to 2026.
The Biggest Premieres and Comebacks in Game Pass
The loudest debut is Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which is the continuation of a realistic RPG set in medieval Bohemia. The production offers an expanded story, an even larger world, and a combat system developed compared to the first part.
A strong point of the offer is also Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment – a first-person fantasy RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity universe.
The service also includes Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, an impressive adventure in the world of Pandora created by Ubisoft.
There were plenty of returns. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition once again joins the Game Pass library, offering the full edition with expansions.

At the end of the month, among others Injustice 2 and Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be removed from the catalog, so it's worth catching up on them before February 28.
Is this the best month in the history of the service?
It’s hard to give a clear answer, but in terms of diversity and the scale of releases, February 2026 definitely ranks among the strongest periods in the history of Xbox Game Pass. We have Day One releases, major AAA productions, and tried-and-true RPG hits. The problem is no longer the lack of games – the problem becomes the lack of time.
