Game Pass Warning: 2 New Games Added, But You Might Not Get Them

Your Game Pass Tier Might Be Missing Out on These 2 New Day-One Games
The two new Game Pass titles everyone's talking about.
  • Two New Games Arrive: Xbox Game Pass adds Winter Burrow and Relic Hunters Legend to its library today, November 12th.
  • Day-One Survival Title: Winter Burrow is a brand-new, "cozy woodland survival game," launching directly onto the service for subscribers.
  • Looter-Shooter Action: Relic Hunters Legend brings fast-paced, co-op looter-shooter RPG gameplay to the catalog.
  • Subscription Catch: Crucially, both titles are currently exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members, with other tiers missing out for now.

Two Diverse Titles Bolster the Game Pass Library

Microsoft is giving Xbox Game Pass subscribers a mid-November treat with the addition of two exciting games today. The lineup features a highly anticipated day-one release in the form of Winter Burrow and the action-packed RPG Relic Hunters Legend. This drop caters to different gaming tastes, but there's a critical detail about access that members shouldn't overlook.

Winter Burrow: A Cozy Day-One Survival Adventure

Leading the charge is Winter Burrow, a brand-new title launching on Game Pass from day one. This charming game is described as a "cozy woodland survival game," offering a relaxing escape where players can explore, gather resources, and get creative.

"Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game. Explore, gather resources, craft tools, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals!"

As a day-one release, it’s a huge perk for subscribers who get to experience the game at launch without any additional purchase. You can get a glimpse of its cozy world in the trailer below.

Relic Hunters Legend: High-Energy Looter-Shooter Fun

For players seeking more adrenaline, Relic Hunters Legend delivers a fast-paced looter-shooter RPG experience. You can embark on the adventure solo or team up with up to three friends in 4-player co-op to hunt for powerful gear and take on formidable foes.

"Relic Hunters Legend is a fast-paced looter-shooter RPG where you collect powerful weapons, upgrade skills, and battle enemies in intense combat. Play solo or team up in a 4-player co-op as you embark on a journey to recover lost memories and take down the tyrant Duke Ducan."

The Catch: Check Your Subscription Tier

Before you clear space on your hard drive, it's essential to check your subscription. Microsoft has specified that both Winter Burrow and Relic Hunters Legend are initially available only for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members. Those with other tiers, like Essential and Premium, will not have access at this time. While it’s possible the games will be made available more widely in the future, this serves as another major incentive for players to upgrade to the Ultimate tier to avoid missing out on the latest day-one drops and exclusives.
