Xbox Game Pass Confirms 3 Expanded Releases for Premium-Tier Members
In addition to the eight new arrivals, the latest roadmap includes three titles set to expand to the Premium tier after previously joining the Ultimate library. The first two, South of Midnight and The Alters, are scheduled to arrive on March 18. The third is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2025. With the title nearing its first anniversary on Xbox Game Pass, some fans feared Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 could leave the service in April 2026. Its newly confirmed arrival on the Premium tier, however, suggests it is likely to remain available for at least six more months, based on Microsoft’s past catalog patterns.
2 Titles Are Leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 31
Rounding out today’s news is the official confirmation of the next Xbox Game Pass outgoing wave. Scheduled for March 31, the upcoming batch of departures consists of only two titles: Peppa Pig: World Adventures and Mad Streets. As such, Xbox Game Pass is on course to lose eight games over the course of March 2026, while adding 14 others.
