Xbox Game Pass March Wave 2 Delivers 11 Games Including Disco Elysium and RE7
Microsoft's second March wave adds South of Midnight, Disco Elysium, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Resident Evil 7 to Game Pass through early April.
Eleven Games, Zero Excuses Not to Play
Xbox Game Pass just dropped one of the most stacked Wave 2 lineups in recent memory, and your backlog is about to cry. Microsoft announced eleven titles arriving between mid-March and early April, headlined by day-one exclusives and beloved classics that make the subscription feel like an absolute steal.
The wave kicked off on March 18 with South of Midnight — Compulsion Games' atmospheric action-adventure set in a mythological American South — and The Alters, an ambitious sci-fi survival game about managing alternate versions of yourself. Both arrived as day-one Game Pass titles, continuing Microsoft's strategy of making first-party launches instant subscription benefits.
The Highlights Keep Coming
March 19 brings Disco Elysium: The Final Cut to Game Pass, giving subscribers access to one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the past decade. For anyone who missed ZA/UM's genre-defining detective story the first time around, this is the definitive version with full voice acting and expanded content. It is genuinely one of the best-written games ever made, and now there is no barrier to experiencing it.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth arrives on March 24, bringing Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's sprawling JRPG to the service. The game follows Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu across Japan and Hawaii in a story that is equal parts heartfelt drama and absurd comedy. If you have ever wanted to ride a Segway into battle or manage a vacation resort between saving the world, this is your game.
The wave rounds out with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard on March 31, the first-person horror classic that reinvented Capcom's flagship franchise. Throw in indie gems like Absolum, Nova Roma, Goritaire, and The Long Dark, plus Barbie Horse Trails on April 2 and Final Fantasy IV on April 7, and you have got a lineup that covers every possible gaming mood.
The Value Proposition Keeps Growing
Wave 2 arrives during a March that has already been absolutely packed with new releases — Crimson Desert, Pokémon Pokopia, Fatal Frame II Remake, and Slay the Spire 2 have all launched this month. For Game Pass subscribers, the addition of eleven more titles means that March 2026 may be the single best month the service has ever delivered. Microsoft continues to make the case that Game Pass is the best deal in gaming, and lineups like this make it genuinely hard to argue otherwise.
