r/Games: Xbox Game Pass March Wave 2 Adds Disco Elysium, Resident Evil 7, Final Fantasy IV, and More
Original: Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Disco Elysium, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Final Fantasy IV and More - Xbox Wire View original →
Xbox has published the second March 2026 Game Pass wave, and it is one of those catalog drops that mixes prestige back-catalog titles with a few release-timing hooks that can keep subscribers busy for weeks. The official Xbox Wire lineup includes Disco Elysium on March 19, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on March 24, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard on March 31, and Final Fantasy IV on April 7, alongside several other arrivals spread across Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC. That breadth is why the post moved quickly on r/Games.
The wave starts immediately with DreamWorks Gabby’s Dollhouse: Ready to Party on March 17, followed by South of Midnight and The Alters on March 18. Xbox says both of those titles are now coming to Game Pass Premium while also joining Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, which matters because Microsoft continues to use tiering and release timing as part of its subscription strategy instead of presenting one flat catalog all at once.
Highlighted additions in Wave 2
- March 19: Disco Elysium
- March 24: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
- March 25: Absolum
- March 26: Nova Roma as a day-one Game Preview launch on PC
- March 31: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- April 2: Barbie Horse Trails and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- April 7: Final Fantasy IV
After the first few days, the schedule stays busy. Absolum arrives on March 25, Nova Roma joins PC Game Pass as a day-one Game Preview release on March 26, and The Long Dark returns on March 30. Resident Evil 7 follows on March 31, then Barbie Horse Trails and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 land on April 2 before Final Fantasy IV closes the wave on April 7. In other words, this is less about one giant tentpole and more about maintaining cadence across multiple weeks.
The official post also points out that Skate. is now available on Console for Game Pass Ultimate members, while Peppa Pig World Adventures and Mad Streets leave the service on March 31. That matters because the value of a Game Pass month is never just about what comes in. The shape of the outgoing list changes how strong the rotation really feels for current subscribers.
The broader takeaway is range. This wave moves across RPGs, survival, horror, family games, and service updates without leaning on a single headliner. From Xbox's perspective, that seems intentional. A subscription month feels healthier when there are several reasons to come back over time, and this Wave 2 lineup is clearly built to stretch engagement across late March and early April rather than burn all its momentum in one day.
