Microsoft updates its Xbox Game Pass subscription service with new games on a regular basis, oftentimes spreading out the new releases throughout the month. March 2022 has already seen a few new games hit the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, including Far: Changing Tides and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13, and now four more games have been added to the lineup.
As of March 10, Microsoft has added four more games to Xbox Game Pass, consisting of three older games and one brand-new, day one release. The new day one Xbox Game Pass game added on March 10 is a co-op beat 'em up called Young Souls, which has technically been available for Stadia since last year, but is just now getting its Xbox release. Young Souls earned mostly positive reviews and so it should be a solid pick for Game Pass subscribers, especially those looking for a new co-op game to play.
Joining Young Souls in the batch of new Xbox Game Pass games added on March 10 are Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Xbox One version of Lawn Mowing Simulator. Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition is a narrative-driven episodic point-and-click adventure game that has earned widespread acclaim from critics, so anyone that has yet to play it should be sure to give it a go through Game Pass.

Guardians of the Galaxy, meanwhile, is arguably the headlining new game being added to Xbox Game Pass on March 10. The Guardians of the Galaxy game from Eidos Montreal and Square Enix released last year to mostly positive reviews, even taking home the Game Award for Best Narrative. It's only about five months old at this point, so while it's not a day one release, it still adds considerable value to the Game Pass subscription service. After all, Guardians of the Galaxy still retails for full price on digital storefronts, so it's a steal to be able to play it for just the cost of a Game Pass subscription.
And finally, Lawn Mowing Simulator is a quirky simulation game that is exactly as its title states: a lawn mowing simulator. The Xbox One version of Lawn Mowing Simulator was actually supposed to release for Xbox Game Pass last month, but was delayed for unknown reasons. In any case, the wait is over and Xbox Game Pass subscribers can check it out now.
Looking ahead, there's even more for Xbox Game Pass subscribers to look forward to later in March. There are more day one Xbox Game Pass games on the way this month, including the console version of Crusader Kings 3 as well as the brand-new action-RPG Weird West, so there should be no shortage of games for subscribers to play in March.
