Microsoft has unveiled the second wave of titles hitting your Xbox Game Pass library this month, and there are some absolute bangers in the mix that you won’t want to miss. The latest lineup, confirmed via Xbox Wire, is one of the most exciting drops of the year so far, and includes legendary RPGs, fresh day-one releases, indie picks, and even a big sports title.

Leading the charge is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, arriving February 19 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Premium subscribers on console and cloud. This critically acclaimed open-world RPG from CD PROJEKT RED includes all of its expansions and hundreds of hours of monster-slaying quests, deep storytelling, and detailed environments.

The lineup also includes another massive RPG title, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, which joins the Game Pass library on March 3. The sequel to the 2018 medieval open-world classic puts players back in the gritty world of 15th-century Bohemia, continuing the saga with expanded systems and epic storytelling.

The second February wave is packed with more than just RPGs. From this week you can also dive into Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and the high-speed stylized shooter-racer Aerial_Knight’s DropShot, both available to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members. Action-RPG fans on Game Pass Premium can play Avowed right away as well.

More additions and departures to note

On February 19, Death Howl joins multiple Game Pass tiers, while sports fans can jump into EA Sports College Football 26 on Ultimate. The lineup also includes TCG Card Shop Simulator in Game Preview, day one PC release Dice A Million, and action RPG Towerborne. On March 3, Final Fantasy III lands alongside Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, adding another classic for RPG fans to dive into.

A few titles are also on their way out, including Monster Train, Expeditions: A MudRunner Game, Injustice 2, and Middle-earth: Shadow of War. If any of these are sitting in your backlog, now is the time to wrap them up before they leave the service.
