Game Pass February 2025: A Monster Month for Xbox Subscribers

If you've been sitting on your Xbox Game Pass subscription wondering whether to keep it, February 2025 is making that decision significantly easier. Microsoft is throwing one of the heaviest lineups in recent memory at subscribers, and it's not even close. We're talking about genuine system-sellers here, games that people have spent full $70 on just months ago.

Let me give you the scope: Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just hit shelves a few weeks back and was nominated for Game of the Year. The Witcher 3 is still one of the most beloved action RPGs ever made. EA Sports College Football 26 launched fresh this year. These aren't your standard Game Pass fills. This is Microsoft flexing its acquisition strategy and launch day deals in a way that fundamentally changes the value proposition of their subscription service.

The timing is genuinely clever, too. We're in that post-holiday lull where people actually have time to sit down and play games without holiday distractions. Valentine's Day passes, work stabilizes, and suddenly you've got February through April to actually get through something substantial. Game Pass is capitalizing on this perfectly.

What's wild is that this doesn't feel like a "we're stretching the release calendar" situation. Nearly every game dropping this month is either brand new, massively acclaimed, or both. We're looking at titles that will genuinely occupy 20, 50, even 100+ hours of your time if you let them. That's the kind of depth that makes a subscription service worth every penny.

Let's break down exactly what's coming, when it's dropping, and whether any of it should matter to you specifically.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Launches Today

Wait, Avatar is already here? Yeah, this one snuck in at the beginning of the month, but it's worth your attention if you haven't grabbed it yet. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is available today across Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, handheld devices, and standard PC.

For context, Avatar is Ubisoft's massive 2023 open-world game that received surprisingly solid reviews despite coming in the shadow of James Cameron's universe. It's not Baldur's Gate 3, but it's genuinely competent. The game focuses on exploration, combat, and environmental storytelling across Pandora's various biomes.

Here's the thing about Avatar that most people miss: it's actually one of the best-looking games on console, period. The visual fidelity is legitimately stunning, especially if you're playing on Xbox Series X. Ubisoft nailed the atmosphere and made exploring the different regions feel distinct and worthwhile.

The gameplay loop is fairly standard Ubisoft open-world: clear bases, find collectibles, complete side missions. But the world itself pulls you along. You're genuinely curious about what's in the next valley or around the next mountain because the environments look so good.

If you're into exploration-heavy games and don't mind a straightforward combat system, Avatar is absolutely worth the time. It's not going to blow your mind narratively, but 30-40 hours in a stunningly rendered world? That's not a bad trade for a Game Pass subscription.

Game Pass Ultimate offers the most comprehensive access at

Avowed Arrives Simultaneously on Game Pass and Play Station 5

Now here's something genuinely interesting: Avowed, the new fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, is hitting Game Pass Premium on the exact same day it launches on Play Station 5. That's February 18, and it's available on Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, and PC simultaneously.

Obsidian has been quietly building RPGs for years without the massive marketing budgets of other studios. They made Pillars of Eternity, Greedfall, and countless beloved CRPGs. Avowed is their big-budget swing—a first-person fantasy RPG set in the world of Eora, the same universe as the Pillars of Eternity games.

What makes Avowed different from the typical Game Pass RPG drop is the production value. This isn't a passion project from a tiny studio. This is Obsidian backed by Microsoft's resources, with a legitimate budget to match their creative ambition. The game features full voice acting, dynamic environments, and a combat system that actually changes based on your character build and approach.

The first-person perspective is crucial here. So many RPGs have shifted to third-person lately that first-person fantasy RPGs feel almost retro. But Obsidian is using that perspective to create immersion and immediacy. Combat feels more visceral when you're looking through your character's eyes, not watching them from behind.

Here's what surprised me most about Avowed's approach: it's not trying to be Baldur's Gate 3. It's not attempting to compete with that same narrative-driven, choice-heavy system. Instead, Obsidian is doubling down on environmental storytelling, faction dynamics, and actual consequence to your decisions. You'll see the results of your choices reflected in the world around you, not just in dialogue trees.

The fact that this is day-one on Play Station is genuinely significant. Microsoft is confident enough in their Game Pass exclusivity window that they're willing to let it multiplatform immediately. That's not desperation. That's confidence in the value proposition.

Game Pass offers nearly

Aerial Knight's Drop Shot: The Unexpected Gem

Aerial Knight's Drop Shot is available today alongside Avatar, and honestly, this one deserves way more attention than it's probably getting. Solo developer Aerial Knight has been putting out innovative games for years, and Drop Shot might be their best work yet.

It's a skydiving FPS. Let me say that again because it's genuinely unusual: you're jumping out of a plane, fighting enemies in mid-air, and trying to grab the only parachute to survive. The entire game takes place during your descent, and the mechanics are built around that constraint.

The combat uses finger guns, which sounds gimmicky until you play it and realize that the limiting factor creates genuine tension. You can't just spray bullets like a standard FPS because your ammo is finite and your downward momentum keeps accelerating. It's physics-based combat in a way that most games don't attempt.

What makes Drop Shot remarkable is how it solves the fundamental problem of mid-air combat games: without a ground to stand on, how do you make positioning matter? Aerial Knight solved it by making altitude and relative positioning core to the gameplay. Enemies cluster at different heights, and you have to manage your fall rate to engage them effectively.

There's also dragons. Because of course there are dragons. But they're integrated intelligently into the level design rather than just tacked on for spectacle.

The game is short—we're talking 3-4 hours for most players—but it's the kind of short game that respects your time. Every minute is designed to introduce new mechanics, new challenges, and new environmental interactions. You're not grinding filler content. You're moving from one creative setpiece to the next.

If you missed the demo, now's the time to experience it. Drop Shot is genuinely innovative in a landscape where innovation often means "bigger budget" rather than "different idea."

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition (February 21)

The Witcher 3 is arriving on Game Pass, and it's the Complete Edition with all DLC included. This is releasing February 21, and it's available on Game Pass Ultimate and Premium across Cloud and console platforms.

Look, The Witcher 3 doesn't need much introduction. It's one of the best action RPGs ever made. It sold over 40 million copies. People are still playing it seven years after launch. But the Complete Edition on Game Pass is genuinely significant for one specific reason: this removes the barrier to entry for the DLC content.

The base game of Witcher 3 is massive. You're looking at 50-100 hours depending on how thorough you are. But the DLC expansions—Blood and Wine especially—contain some of the best storytelling in the entire game. Blood and Wine functions almost like a standalone game, with new regions, new characters, and some of the most impactful narrative moments in the franchise.

Here's where it gets interesting: people who played Witcher 3 at launch often didn't come back for DLC. It felt like a separate purchase, a separate commitment. Game Pass is removing that psychological barrier. You're already subscribed. You've already got it installed. The DLC is right there. The path of least resistance is now going deeper.

The Witcher 3's combat system aged remarkably well compared to other games from 2015. The dodge-and-parry-heavy system feels responsive and intentional. It's not a button-masher. It rewards timing and positioning. Bosses actually feel dangerous if you're not paying attention.

The storytelling is what keeps people coming back, though. Geralt's journey through the various storylines—searching for Yennefer, dealing with the Wild Hunt, managing Ciri's development—creates genuine emotional investment. The side quests tell stories that rival many games' main campaigns. The characters feel real and consequential.

One warning: Witcher 3 looks great on current-gen consoles, but it's still a 2015 game at its core. Don't expect the visual fidelity of something like Starfield or the latest AAA releases. Expect something that still looks good and plays exceptionally well.

Avowed offers consistent high-quality features across both Game Pass and PlayStation 5, with strong graphics, voice acting, and immersive storytelling. Estimated data based on typical platform capabilities.

EA Sports College Football 26 Arrives February 21

EA Sports College Football 26 is hitting Game Pass Ultimate on Cloud and Xbox Series X/S on February 21. This is the newest entry in the college football franchise, and it represents EA's re-entry into college football gaming after nearly a decade away.

What makes College Football 26 relevant to the Game Pass conversation isn't just that it's on day one. It's that sports games are typically the most expensive subscriptions to maintain. Player licensing, university licensing, ongoing roster updates, and competitive mode support all cost money. EA putting this on Game Pass represents a fundamental shift in how they're monetizing college football.

The game itself builds on EA Sports' decades of football game experience. The engine is refined, the controls are responsive, and the universe of teams, players, and storylines is genuinely vast. Building a dynasty in college football is a long-term commitment, which makes Game Pass access particularly valuable.

Here's the caveat: like all EA Sports games, College Football 26 is built around monetization beyond the initial purchase. Ultimate Team mode involves spending currency on packs. The competitive ladder systems are designed to encourage ongoing engagement and spending. Game Pass covers the base game, but if you want to compete at the highest levels, you're probably spending additional money.

But for casual players and franchise mode enthusiasts, College Football 26 on Game Pass is an absolute steal. Franchise mode is where the depth is, and that's completely free within the game. You're building programs, recruiting players, managing facilities, and dealing with the actual complexity of college football coaching.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (March 3)

Here we go. This is the big one. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is arriving on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass on March 3 across Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was just nominated for Game of the Year. It's a full-scale medieval RPG set in 15th century Bohemia with no fantasy elements, no dragons, no magic. It's grounded historical fiction with RPG mechanics, and the approach is genuinely refreshing in a landscape dominated by high-fantasy adventures.

The original Kingdom Come: Deliverance was a cult classic. It had a tiny budget, independent studio development, and a very specific vision. It also had rough edges—performance issues, UI problems, occasional buginess. But underneath all that was a game that respected the player's intelligence and refused to hold their hand.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II takes that foundation and scales it up significantly. The budget is larger. The scope is broader. The world is more detailed. But the core philosophy remains: you're a human being in a medieval world, and the world is not built around you. You don't gain magic abilities. You don't become a legendary hero. You become a better swordsman through practice, and that's it.

This has massive implications for how the game plays. Combat isn't about stats or abilities. It's about skill. You can watch the tutorial on sword fighting, understand the mechanics, and then spend 10 hours still getting your ass kicked by bandits because you haven't developed the muscle memory or tactical awareness yet. That's not a bug. That's the entire point.

The world design is astonishingly ambitious. Bohemia is rendered with historical accuracy. The architecture matches the period. The clothing is accurate. The accents are accurate. The game took years of research to get these details right, and it shows.

Missions are never given as quest markers and objective lists. They're given through dialogue and context. If you don't pay attention, you'll miss what you're supposed to do. If you get distracted, you might fail a mission without realizing it. The game doesn't care if you feel punished. It cares about authenticity.

This is not a game for everyone. If you need hand-holding, waypoints, and clear objectives, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II will frustrate you. But if you've ever wished for an RPG that trusts you to figure things out and punishes you for mistakes, this is it.

The fact that this is coming to Game Pass immediately is genuinely shocking. Publishers usually wait 6-12 months before adding new releases to subscription services. Getting Kingdom Come: Deliverance II on day one is a statement.

Aerial Knight's DropShot excels in innovative mechanics and engagement, offering a unique gaming experience despite its shorter gameplay length. Estimated data based on game review insights.

Death Howl: The Soulslike Deckbuilder (February 21)

Death Howl is a Soulslike deckbuilder arriving February 21 on Game Pass Ultimate and Premium across Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, handheld, and PC. It's already been available on PC Game Pass, but console players are just getting access now.

What makes Death Howl interesting is that it's attempting something that rarely works: combining two genres that have very different design philosophies. Soulslikes are about pattern recognition, timing, and skill-based combat. Deckbuilders are about probability, synergy, and strategic planning. Death Howl is trying to merge these into a single coherent experience.

The game uses a card-based system to determine how you approach combat scenarios. Cards have different effects—some grant defensive bonuses, others add damage modifiers, some change how you engage enemies. You're building a deck that synergizes with your character build and playstyle.

Bosses and enemy encounters are genuinely challenging, which is where the Soulslike component comes in. You can't just stat-check your way through content. You need pattern recognition, proper card usage, and tactical positioning. The game respects your intelligence and punishes carelessness.

The actual appeal of Death Howl is niche, but within that niche, it's incredibly compelling. If you're into both Soulslikes and deckbuilders, this is explicitly designed for you. If you're just looking for something to casually play, it might not click.

TCG Card Shop Simulator (February 24 in Game Preview)

TCG Card Shop Simulator is arriving in Game Preview on February 24, available on Cloud, Xbox Series X/S, handheld, and PC through Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass.

Game Preview titles are early access releases, so understand that this is unfinished software. But the concept is genuinely interesting: you're running a trading card game shop, buying inventory, pricing cards, managing customer relationships, and dealing with the actual business side of card gaming.

It's a management sim, not a competitive card game. You're not playing Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh. You're running the store that sells those cards. That's a specific appeal that won't land for everyone, but for people who enjoy tycoon-style games and understand card game culture, TCG Card Shop Simulator offers something unique.

The game includes buying and selling mechanics, pricing strategy, inventory management, and customer satisfaction systems. You're trying to build a thriving business while dealing with the actual challenges of retail operations.

Since it's in Game Preview, the game will receive ongoing updates and balance changes before full release. You're getting access early, but also accepting that the experience might shift significantly before the final version.

February 2025 sees a strong lineup on Xbox Game Pass with highly rated titles, enhancing the subscription's value. (Estimated data)

Dice A Million: The Roguelike Deckbuilder (February 25)

Dice A Million is a day-one addition to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on February 25, exclusive to PC at launch.

It's a roguelike deckbuilder where you're combining dice with different ability sets and rings with passive effects, all with the goal of rolling a million points. Yes, this is a numbers-go-up game, which is a specific genre that either clicks for you or doesn't.

What makes Dice A Million interesting is the synergy system. Dice don't just add numbers. They interact with each other and with your ring effects to create powerful combos. You're discovering combinations that multiply your score exponentially. That's the hook that keeps roguelike players engaged.

The game is built around multiple runs and permanent progression. You're getting better at the game through understanding, not just from character leveling. Early runs teach you the mechanics. Later runs reward skillful composition and decision-making.

If you love roguelike games and the dopamine hit of multiplier stacking, Dice A Million is absolutely worth trying. If numbers-go-up games aren't your style, skip it.

Towerborne Full Release (February 26)

Towerborne is transitioning from Game Preview to full release on February 26, available on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass across consoles, handheld, and PC.

Towerborne is a co-op action RPG from Stoic Studio, and the full release is adding significant content and features compared to the preview version. The full game includes offline single-player support, expanded story content, new areas, additional enemies, progression systems, and multiple difficulty settings.

Co-op action RPGs are having a moment right now, and Towerborne is trying to capture that magic. The emphasis is on accessibility combined with depth. You can jump in casually and get enjoyment, but there's also systems to master and challenges to overcome for players who want more.

Offline play is significant here. Too many modern games require always-online connections, even for single-player content. Towerborne supporting offline means you can play on your commute, at your cabin, or anywhere else without internet connectivity. That's genuinely valuable.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora performs best on Xbox Series X with high visual fidelity and smooth performance. Estimated data based on typical platform capabilities.

Final Fantasy III Arrives March 3

Final Fantasy III is arriving on Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC Game Pass on March 3 alongside Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.

Final Fantasy III is one of the most significant entries in the Final Fantasy franchise, and the version arriving on Game Pass is the pixel remaster—a modernized remake of the original 1990 NES game that was never officially released in the West until much later.

The pixel remaster maintains the aesthetic and gameplay of the original while updating graphics, audio, and interface systems for modern standards. If you've never experienced Final Fantasy III, this is genuinely the best version to play. The story follows a group of orphan children who discover they're the Warriors of Light, tasked with saving the world.

Final Fantasy III is significant because it introduced the Job system to the series—a mechanics system where characters could change their class mid-game, gaining different abilities and stat distributions. This system has influenced every mainline Final Fantasy game since.

The game is linear and straightforward compared to modern RPGs, but it's engaging enough to hold attention across a 20-30 hour campaign. If you're into classic JRPG gaming and haven't experienced this one, Game Pass access makes it a no-brainer.

The Real Value Proposition Here

Let's step back and understand what's actually happening here. Microsoft is positioning Game Pass not as a secondary option for older games, but as the primary way to experience major releases.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is a

The math is absurd. Even if Game Pass costs $20 per month (for premium tier), you're breaking even on value within days of February starting. From a pure content-per-dollar perspective, this is one of the best months in Game Pass history.

But the strategic value goes deeper. These aren't just any games. These are games that occupy significant mental real estate in the gaming community. When Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was nominated for Game of the Year, people were talking about Game Pass subscription value. When your friends are playing Witcher 3, you have a reason to subscribe just to play alongside them.

This is Microsoft executing on the subscription value thesis more effectively than they have in years. They're not hoping you'll find hidden gems in the catalog. They're dropping games that were on your wishlist the day they launched.

The implications for the broader gaming industry are significant. If Game Pass continues adding new, high-profile releases at this frequency, it fundamentally changes the economics of game purchasing. Why buy games individually when you can subscribe for a month, play everything, and cancel?

Game publishers have to decide whether they want to be on Game Pass or compete as premium releases. The choice increasingly feels binary rather than both-and. Microsoft is betting that enough publishers will choose Game Pass revenue over individual sales revenue, and this February lineup suggests they're winning that bet.

Which Games Should You Actually Play?

Here's the honest assessment: you cannot play all of these games in one month unless you're not sleeping and not working. You need to prioritize.

Start with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II if you want to be part of the cultural conversation. It's the game everyone's talking about, and it's genuinely excellent. It's also 60+ hours, so it will occupy a significant portion of your gaming time.

Play The Witcher 3 if you haven't experienced it and you want a guaranteed 100+ hours of engagement. It's been refined by millions of hours of player feedback. It's proven. You know it's good before you start.

Grab Avowed if you want something newer that still feels like a complete experience. It's not as enormous as Kingdom Come or Witcher 3, but it's deep and rewarding.

Experiment with Aerial Knight's Drop Shot if you want something short and innovative. It's a weekend game, not a 100-hour commitment.

Skip Avatar unless you specifically love open-world exploration games. It's competent but not essential.

Avoid College Football 26 unless you're genuinely interested in sports games or franchise simulation. It's great if it's your thing, but it's not a must-play for casual gamers.

The smaller releases like Death Howl and Dice A Million are niche appeals. Try them if the genre description sounds interesting. Skip them if it doesn't.

The Calendar Is Packed for Real Reasons

Why is February suddenly so stacked? Three factors:

First, January is historically slow for game releases. Publishers hold back major releases for February and March when there's room to market them properly. Game Pass is capitalizing on that calendar space by announcing everything at once.

Second, Microsoft's acquisition strategy is finally paying dividends. Bethesda, Obsidian, and other acquisitions are giving Microsoft access to more release windows and more titles. They're leveraging that catalog advantage.

Third, subscription services need regular big releases to justify continued subscriptions. If Game Pass added nothing but indie games and older AAA releases, the subscription would feel like a compromise. Adding new, major releases transforms Game Pass from "budget option" to "best option."

This is Microsoft communicating that they understand subscription value and they're willing to invest heavily in it.

What About After February?

The real question is sustainability. Can Microsoft maintain this release cadence? Probably not indefinitely, but the signal here is clear: Game Pass is no longer an afterthought. It's the priority.

Publishers are watching February's performance carefully. If Game Pass subscribers engage heavily with Kingdom Come and Witcher 3, more publishers will be willing to make day-one deals. If subscribers bounce off or don't engage, publishers will revert to the traditional "wait 6 months" approach.

February 2025 is essentially Microsoft's pitch to the industry: "Come to Game Pass. Your game will reach millions of subscribers. The infrastructure and marketing will support it." If the pitch works, we could see more February-like months in the future.

The subscription model isn't replacing traditional game sales entirely, but it's fundamentally reshaping how players think about game access and value. Game Pass is winning that argument this month.

Making Your Game Pass Decision

Should you subscribe? For February specifically? Absolutely yes. The value is mathematically obvious. The question is what to do after February ends.

If you're someone who plays 20+ hours per week, Game Pass is almost certainly worth it for you. The back catalog alone justifies the subscription for casual browsing. Adding this February slate makes it an obvious choice.

If you're a casual player who games 5-10 hours per week, you might subscribe for one or two months, play the games that sound interesting, and cancel. That's perfectly valid and profitable for Microsoft. They'd rather have your money for one month than never at all.

If you're a completionist who needs to own everything, Game Pass might not be for you. Digital rental vs. digital ownership feels philosophically different to some people, and that's legitimate.

But objectively, this February is the best value Game Pass has offered in years. The window for maximum bang-for-your-buck is right now.

Conclusion: An Inflection Point

February 2025 is an inflection point for Game Pass and potentially for the gaming industry itself. Microsoft is proving that subscription services can offer competitive advantages even against traditional purchasing models. They're proving that players will engage with premium content when it's readily accessible through subscription.

More importantly, they're proving it with actual flagship titles, not obscure back catalog fills. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and The Witcher 3 aren't niche offerings. They're cultural touchstones that millions of players want to experience.

If you've been on the fence about Game Pass, this month resolves that question. Subscribe. Play the games. Experience what Microsoft is trying to communicate to the industry.

If you're already a subscriber, clear your schedule. You're looking at months of content, starting now.

The subscription model isn't replacing traditional gaming. But it's becoming impossible to ignore the value proposition that February represents. Microsoft has made their argument effectively.

Now it's your move.

FAQ

What is Game Pass and how much does it cost?

Game Pass is Microsoft's subscription service that provides access to hundreds of games across Xbox, PC, and cloud platforms. The main tiers are Game Pass Standard (

Which Game Pass tier do I need for February's releases?

Most February releases are available across multiple tiers, with the most comprehensive access through Game Pass Ultimate. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, The Witcher 3, and Avowed specifically require Game Pass Ultimate or Premium tier. Some titles like Dice A Million are PC-exclusive and available through PC Game Pass. Check the specific availability for each game, but Ultimate tier gives you access to everything.

Is Kingdom Come: Deliverance II worth playing?

Absolutely, if you enjoy story-driven RPGs that don't hold your hand. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II was nominated for Game of the Year and features historically accurate medieval Bohemia, responsive combat that requires skill development, and narrative design that trusts the player to figure things out. Expect 60-100 hours of engaging content. If you prefer guided objectives and constant feedback, it might frustrate you.

How long does it take to complete The Witcher 3?

The Witcher 3 base game takes approximately 50-70 hours to complete the main story. If you tackle side quests and DLC content, you're looking at 100-150+ hours. The Complete Edition on Game Pass includes all DLC, so you'll have access to the full experience. Many players recommend doing side content because the storytelling quality rivals the main campaign.

Should I play Kingdom Come or Witcher 3 first if I have limited time?

Play The Witcher 3 first if you have 30-40 hours available, then move to Kingdom Come for the longer, deeper commitment. Witcher 3 is more immediately gratifying and has clearer progression. Kingdom Come requires patience in early hours but rewards deep engagement. Alternatively, start with Aerial Knight's Drop Shot as a 4-hour palate cleanser between the two massive games.

Is Game Pass worth subscribing for just one month?

Yes, absolutely. February's lineup justifies a single month of subscription. You can experience Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, The Witcher 3, and Avowed, then evaluate whether the ongoing catalog justifies continued subscription. Many players subscribe for one-two months, play heavily, then cancel until the next major release cycle. This is a financially sound strategy.

What's the difference between Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass Premium?

Game Pass Ultimate includes console, PC, and cloud gaming access plus Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold benefits. Game Pass Premium is a newer tier offering similar benefits with slightly different availability. Ultimate is generally the most comprehensive option, though specific game availability varies by region. Check your local Microsoft Store for exact tier details.

Are any of these games available on Play Station?

Avowed launches simultaneously on Play Station 5 on February 18, so PS5 players can purchase it directly. The Witcher 3 is available on Play Station. Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is Xbox and PC exclusive at launch, though third-party sales may eventually bring it to Play Station. Check platform compatibility for each game individually.

Should I buy or subscribe for Kingdom Come: Deliverance II?

Subscribe to Game Pass for at least one month. Kingdom Come is on day one, and subscription access is equivalent to

Can I play these games offline?

Avatar, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and The Witcher 3 all support offline single-player play. Cloud Gaming titles (Avowed, for example) require internet for cloud streams but some have local console versions. Towerborne explicitly added offline support in its full release. Check each game's requirements, but most single-player experiences are available offline through Game Pass.

What should I do if I can't finish all these games in February?

All of these games stay in the Game Pass library after February. The point isn't to complete everything in one month. The point is that everything becomes available this month, and you can work through them on your own pace. Subscribe for February to unlock access, then play through the year. There's no pressure to rush.

Is the game preview version of TCG Card Shop Simulator worth trying?

Yes, if you're interested in business simulation games and trading card game culture. Game Preview means the game is incomplete and will receive updates before official release. Use this as an opportunity to provide feedback to developers while experiencing early access. If management sims don't interest you, skip it without guilt.
