Released back in December for PC Game Pass, Death Howl will be added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium on February 19. Death Howl is an open-world Soulslike deck-builder played from a top-down perspective, which, upon its initial PC launch, earned a strong critical reception. It currently holds a Top Critic Average of 82 on OpenCritic, with 85% of critics recommending the game.

EA Sports College Football 26 hits Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on February 19. It marks the second game in the EA Sports College Football series since its triumphant return in 2024, and much like its predecessor, it received mostly positive reviews from critics. On the same day, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Premium subscribers will get access to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition. This version of the beloved, award-winning 2015 open-world RPG was originally released in December 2022 and offers a complete next-gen package featuring the base game and both of The Witcher 3‘s story expansions.

On February 24, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass will get TCG Card Shop Simulator, a management sim that lets players establish their own local game store, pull packs, and sell high-value trading cards. TCG Card Shop Simulator is still in early access, so this Game Pass version is officially labeled as a ‘Game Preview’ title. A day later, the day one Xbox Game Pass game Dice a Million launches. Dice a Million is a roguelike game that challenges players to roll to 1 million, using a variety of special dice and rings to modify their rolls. Stoic’s side-scrolling action-RPG Towerborne then has its full 1.0 release on February 26, landing on Game Pass on the same day.

Although they’re technically included as part of Xbox Game Pass February wave 2, Final Fantasy 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 won’t arrive on Xbox Game Pass until March 3. Both games are coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass, and they should be accompanied by some other March Game Pass titles that will be announced in the coming weeks.
