Xbox Game Pass subscribers are treated to yet another new game as Microsoft has updated the service yet again for the month of February 2023 by adding Hot Wheels Unleashed to the mix. Microsoft has added three games to Xbox Game Pass in February as of the latest addition, though the rest of the month is still mostly shrouded in mystery at this point.
The first new Xbox Game Pass game for February 2023 was Darkest Dungeon, made available to subscribers across the cloud, consoles, and PC on February 2. First released in 2016, Darkest Dungeon is a roguelite RPG that earned rave reviews at the time of its original release and should make a strong new addition to the Xbox Game Pass lineup. February 2 was also the day that the cloud version of GRID Legends was added, though that was exclusive to those who are subscribed to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier since it came as part of the service's EA Play integration.
The latest game added to Xbox Game Pass is Hot Wheels Unleashed: Game of the Year Edition, available to Game Pass subscribers across the cloud, consoles, and PC beginning February 7. A racing game based on the popular car toys, Hot Wheels Unleashed earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its original release, and this Game of the Year Edition should keep racing game fans plenty busy. Not only do Game Pass subscribers get access to the Hot Wheels Unleashed base game, but they can also check out dozens of DLC packs as well.
Microsoft has yet to reveal the full slate of new Xbox Game Pass games for February 2023, with Hot Wheels Unleashed being the last game with an official announcement so far. However, more new Xbox Game Pass games are expected to join the service in the second half of February. Fans may have to wait a bit longer to find out about all the other new Game Pass games coming in the second half of the month, but there is at least one title for them to look forward to in the meantime.
Day one game Atomic Heart is set to launch on Xbox Game Pass on February 21. Atomic Heart is easily one of the biggest new game releases of February 2023, and so it will be interesting to see if it lives up to the hype. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can find out for themselves come February 21, and hopefully they get to learn more about the other games coming to the service in February sooner rather than later.
