Think you’ve seen everything Game Pass has to offer? Think again. Microsoft unveiled a second wave of Game Pass drops for February 2026, and the lineup mixes crowd-pleasers with surprise indie picks—some hitting cloud, some landing on console and PC, and a few reserved for select subscription tiers.
Highlights? The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt finally joins the service, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II arrives shortly after. Both are coming to multiple platforms, so whether you stream or own hardware, there’s something to catch your eye.
- Death Howl — Feb 19, 2026 — Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC — Available on Ultimate, Premium, and PC tiers
- EA Sports College Football 26 — Feb 19, 2026 — Cloud, Xbox Series X|S — Available on Ultimate
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Feb 19, 2026 — Cloud, Console — Available on Ultimate and Premium
- TCG Card Shop Simulator — Feb 24, 2026 — Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC — Available on Ultimate, Premium, and PC
- Dice A Million — Feb 25, 2026 — PC — Available on PC and Ultimate
- Towerborne — Feb 26, 2026 — Console, PC — Available on Ultimate, Premium, and PC
- Final Fantasy III — Mar 3, 2026 — Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC — Available on Ultimate, Premium, and PC
- Kingdom Come: Deliverance II — Mar 3, 2026 — Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, PC — Available on Ultimate, Premium, and PC
Some of these arrivals are obvious crowd-pleasers; others are the sort of curious bets that can quietly build dedicated followings. Want a football sim? EA Sports College Football 26 lands on the same day as Death Howl. Prefer epic RPGs? The Witcher 3’s inclusion will be a magnet for returning players and newcomers alike. Short bursts of indie creativity appear across the schedule too—titles like TCG Card Shop Simulator and Dice A Million add variety.
If you’re subscribed to Ultimate or Premium, you’ll get the broadest access; PC subscribers still have a few exclusives to watch for.
Microsoft’s approach here feels strategic: balance big-name, high-profile releases with smaller, experimental titles to keep the catalog fresh. It’s a reminder that Game Pass remains less a fixed storefront and more a living, rotating library. Expect overlap between cloud play and native installs, depending on the game and your subscription tier, and keep an eye on the dates if you plan to jump in the moment a favorite becomes available.
So, which one will you download first?
