Exciting news for Xbox Game Pass subscribers! According to a recent report, two beloved Activision Blizzard games are set to make their debut on the service this February. Fans can look forward to unlocking achievements in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and diving into the competitive world of Heroes of the Storm. Additionally, EA Sports Madden NFL 25 will join the lineup, offering a diverse range of gaming experiences.
Headline reports suggest that these three titles will soon enrich the Xbox Game Pass library. It’s worth noting that Heroes of the Storm, a popular PC-only MOBA, is expected to join the PC Game Pass rather than the console version. Meanwhile, Madden NFL 25 is anticipated to be available via EA Play for those who subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate.
The buzz around these upcoming releases can be traced back to a reputable industry insider, eXtas1s, who has a strong history of accurate Game Pass-related leaks. They revealed that Crash Bandicoot 4 and Heroes of the Storm are the next in line to join the service, along with Madden NFL 25, expected to expand the EA Play library for Ultimate subscribers.
There were whispers of Crash Bandicoot 4 coming to Game Pass back in December, and it seems those rumors are finally gaining traction. This game, released in 2020, invites players into a thrilling platform adventure to protect the multiverse alongside Crash and his sister Coco.
For American football enthusiasts, EA Sports Madden NFL 25, released in June 2024 for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, offers a highly anticipated gaming experience that fits perfectly with EA Play’s usual timeline of adding titles six months to a year post-launch. Therefore, its anticipated February arrival isn’t unexpected for Ultimate subscribers.
Heroes of the Storm, known for its dynamic gameplay as a free-to-play MOBA on PC, presents an intriguing prospect. If integrated into the PC Game Pass library, it’s likely to come with enticing in-game benefits parallel to Blizzard’s other hit, Overwatch 2.
In other updates, Microsoft has confirmed that, as part of the upcoming February lineup, games like Far Cry New Dawn will also be joining alongside Avowed. Are any of these titles catching your eye? Feel free to share your thoughts and excitement in the comments below!
