Resident Evil 7, the return of a cult episode of the saga

Among all the announced games, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is attracting particular attention. Released by Capcom, this episode marked a major turning point for the series. After the criticism addressed to Resident Evil 6, this game reintroduced a darker and oppressive atmosphere, reconnecting with the origins of the franchise. Its arrival in Game Pass allows new players to discover this experience, but also fans to dive back into a title often considered one of the best in the saga.

AAA games and surprises for all profiles

Beyond Resident Evil 7, several major titles enrich the catalog. Disco Elysium, recognized for its writing, or Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth provide very different experiences. RPG fans can also look to Final Fantasy IV, which continues to expand the franchise’s presence on the service. At the same time, more discreet games like The Alters or Absolum complete this selection, offering original experiences to discover.

An ever-richer Xbox Game Pass catalog

With this new wave, Xbox confirms its strategy: regularly offering varied content to retain subscribers. The arrival of these 12 free games is part of a continuous dynamic of enrichment of the catalog, with frequent additions and recognized licenses. Between great classics and new features, this March 2026 selection once again illustrates the attractiveness of the service for players.
