Like A Dragon: Ishin! is on Xbox Game Pass now, F1 Manager 2023 and Cities: Skylines 2 coming soon /

The Xbox Game Pass welcomes prominent additions today and in the coming weeks. Like A Dragon: Ishin! is available on the subscription service right away, giving you a fantastic title to play without further waiting time.

That’s not all, though. Frontier Developments' F1 Manager 2023 will be added to Xbox Game Pass on October 19, 2023, and will be a great option for all those players in love with the drama and intensity of Formula 1. Building on the foundation of its predecessor, the game is a very solid management title and is second to none when it comes to evoking the feeling of competing in F1. You can read our F1 Manager 2023 review for more on the game.

Cities: Skylines 2 is coming to PC Game Pass on the day of its release :: Colossal Order / Paradox Interactive

A Day 1 addition coming on October 24, 2023, is Cities: Skylines 2, the upcoming city-builder from Colossal Order and Paradox Interactive. Promising to be bigger and better than its iconic predecessor, which single-handedly crushed the legacy of SimCity, this is a highly anticipated launch – and it’ll be on PC Game Pass right from the start.

October 26, 2023, will see further additions in the form of Dead Space, Frog Detective: The Entire Mystery, and Mineko’s Night Market. On October 31, 2023, two more Day 1 titles join the fray with Headbangers: Rhythm Royale and Jusant.

As usual, there is also a series of titles that’ll leave the Xbox Game Pass library at the end of the month:

Gunfire Reborn
Kill It With Fire
Persona 5 Royal
Signalis
Solasta: Crown of the Magister

If you’re asking yourself where the Activision Blizzard games are, then you’ll need to be a bit more patient. While Microsoft officially acquired Activision Blizzard, the developer’s games like Diablo 4 and Modern Warfare 3 will only join Xbox Game Pass throughout 2024.
