Xbox Game Pass has announced the new games for the second half of March
Leading the charge is the day one release of the Amped/SSX inspired snowboarding game, Shredders, alongside tactical RPG, The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk: The Amulet of Chaos. In total, there are 8 games coming before the end of March (plus a few surprises – see below), so plenty to keep Game Pass fans happy.
Of special significance is the addition of F1 2021 on the 24th of March. It’s not going to be here before this weekend’s season-opening round in Bahrain, but it will be playable just before the second race of the opening double header.
Read on for the full list of games and launch dates for all of the new games coming to Xbox and PC Game Pass and Cloud.
