Microsoft Announces Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 1 Lineup

Microsoft has announced the Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 1 lineup, which includes big hitters such as High on Life 2, Madden NFL 26, and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

As detailed in a post on Xbox Wire, available today, February 3, are Final Fantasy II (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) and Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC), both across Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass.

February 5 sees Madden NFL 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) join Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and — something totally different — Paw Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass.

Moving on to February 10 and Relooted (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) hits Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. February 12 is a solid day for Game Pass with BlazBlue Entropy Effect X (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC), Roadside Research (Game Preview) (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC), and Starsand Island (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) all hitting Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

A day later, on February 13, we have two big hitters: High on Life 2 (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC), which launches day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and open-world RPG Kingdom Come Deliverance (Cloud, Console, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass.

Rounding out the list, on February 17 we have Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and Obsidian’s fantasy RPG Avowed (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) hitting Game Pass Premium, which should open its doors to more players.

Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 1 lineup:

Madden NFL 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 5 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Paw Patrol Rescue Wheels: Championship (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – February 5 Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass
Relooted (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 10 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
BlazBlue Entropy Effect X (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 12 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Roadside Research (Game Preview) (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 12 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Starsand Island (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 12 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
High on Life 2 (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 13 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Kingdom Come Deliverance (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 13 Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, PC Game Pass
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – February 17 Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
Avowed (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – February 17 Now with Game Pass Premium

Only one game leaves Game Pass this month: Madden NFL 24 (Cloud, Console, and PC), on February 15, which makes sense since last year’s game is replacing it.
