Online evidence shows that the first-person shooter title Shadow Warrior 3 will soon be included in Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription programme. Microsoft typically begins each month by releasing the next batch of Xbox Game Pass titles, but it has yet to do so for January 2023. While no official announcement of new Xbox Game Pass titles has been made, some may have been exposed early.
Subscribers to Xbox Game Pass have begun receiving alerts and seeing discounts on titles that are not currently accessible via the programme, implying that they will be released in the near future. Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and The DioField Chronicle have been leaked on Xbox Game Pass in this manner, however, neither has received an official announcement.
Shadow Warrior 3, a first-person shooter game, has been leaked in a similar manner. According to True Achievements, some Xbox Title Pass customers have received push notifications indicating that Shadow Warrior 3 is now accessible to play, despite the fact that the game is not part of the Xbox Game Pass list. This push notice was most likely sent out prematurely, and fans should expect Shadow Warrior 3 to join Xbox Game Pass in the near future. Of course, this push notification may be a mistake, so fans should keep that in mind before getting too enthusiastic about playing Shadow Warrior 3 with Game Pass.
It would be a really intriguing addition to the list if Shadow Warrior 3 were to be included in Xbox Game Pass. Shadow Warrior 3 was a first-day-of-release PlayStation Now game in March 2022. Shadow Warrior 3 remained accessible for a brief time when PlayStation Now was integrated into PS Plus and became PS Plus Extra/PS Plus Premium, but was eventually removed from the catalogue in July 2022. While there have been occasional exceptions, Xbox Game Pass titles typically remain on the service for at least a year, implying that the day-one PlayStation Now game Shadow Warrior 3 may join and remain on the rival service for a significantly longer amount of time.
The new Xbox Game Pass titles for January 2023 should be made clear by Microsoft as soon as possible, hopefully. So far, Stranded Deep and Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition has been introduced to the service without prior notice, and fans have no idea what Game Pass will provide between now and January 19. An announcement might pique the interest of Xbox Game Pass customers and help them prioritise their gaming time this month.
