Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Assassin’s Creed Origins, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, and More Megan Spurr, Community Lead, Xbox Game Pass
If you’re looking for some games to play while you wait for the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase coming up (subtle plug – 10 a.m. PT on June 12, tune in at twitch.com/xbox!), I may have one or two or six suggestions for you to choose from. If you want to explore the past, space, or being a ninja – which was everything I ever wanted in my childhood – we’ve got the games for you. Let’s take a peek at what’s coming in the next two weeks.
Coming Soon
For Honor: Marching Fire Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 1

Ubisoft Games in the Xbox App for PC
Since the launch of Rainbow Six: Extraction and Rainbow Six: Siege with PC Game Pass earlier this year, we have made improvements to the Xbox app on PC to make it easier to search for and install Ubisoft games via Ubisoft Connect. That means you’ll be able to search, install, and jump right into For Honor: Marching Fire Edition and Assassin’s Creed Origins when they are added to the PC library.
For more information on accessing Ubisoft games with PC Game Pass or to get a head start on connecting your Game Pass account with Ubisoft Connect, visit Ubisoft’s Help page to learn more.
