Highlights
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on April 25.
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate continues to offer valuable benefits for gamers, including day one access to highly anticipated titles.
- Subscribers can enjoy a variety of new games this week.
As was previously leaked, the critically-acclaimed 2023 action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on Thursday, April 25. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate features a number of exclusive perks to help justify its higher cost compared to the other Game Pass tiers, with one of the big selling points being its access to the EA Play library of games.
By signing up for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, subscribers are able to access everything that the other Game Pass tiers have, plus everything that’s part of EA Play. This means that Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can enjoy free trials for the newest EA games, as well as play any titles that are added to its library. EA doesn’t release its brand-new games on EA Play on the day of their release, but the games tend to join the service within a year.
Xbox Game Pass Adds 3 Games for Core Members and Day One Launch Title
Xbox Game Pass subscribers receive another day one launch title, this one with overall positive reviews, and Game Pass Core adds three more games.
So is the case with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which originally released on April 28 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It’s been confirmed that the game will be joining the EA Play lineup on Thursday, April 25, which means it will be available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on that day across PC and Xbox Series X. PlayStation gamers will also be able to play Star Wars Jedi: Survivor through EA Play on that day, but the service isn’t bundled with PS Plus, and so it requires a separate subscription on that platform.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is Adding Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor earned higher review scores than its predecessor, Fallen Order, and is generally considered one of the best games that will be released in 2023. If 2023 wasn’t so stacked with landmark releases, it’s likely that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor would have earned more year-end award recognition than it ultimately did. In any case, being able to play the entire game through a subscription is an absolute steal, and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers should be sure to jump on the opportunity come April 25.
This week is a big one for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers in general. Since Game Pass Ultimate subscribers get access to all the regular Game Pass games as well, that means that they have multiple day one games to check out, including Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and, joining Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on April 25, the Soulslike game Another Crab’s Treasure. Xbox Game Pass has been on a hot streak for years now, and it doesn’t look like the momentum is slowing down any time soon.
