Xbox Game Pass Gets A Big Exclusive In March

It's March, and game release season is finally starting on Xbox One. With new game launches come new additions to Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One and PC, including the long-awaited sequel to one of the console's best games.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps will be available on March 11, both for Xbox Game Pass and as a traditional purchase. The game is substantially bigger than its predecessor, with even more detailed art design and expanded platforming and action. During GameSpot's Ori and the Will of the Wisps preview, Alessandro Fillari found it even more charming than Ori and the Blind Forest.

NBA 2K20 is also coming to Xbox Game Pass, but only on Xbox One, and will be available March 5. As the latest in the world's most popular basketball franchise, you shouldn't have any trouble finding opponents online.

March will add two more games: Train Sim World 2020 and Pikuniku. The latter game is a colorful and quirky puzzle adventure perfect for all ages, and it features cooperative play so families can enjoy it together and complete challenges.

PC players will get all mentioned games except for NBA 2K20, as well as The Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game and Mother Russia Bleeds.

Several games will also be leaving Xbox Game Pass soon, but members can snag a 20% discount on Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Lichtspeer Double Speer Edition, Shenmue, Shenmue 2, and Thimbleweed Park before they're removed.
