Xbox announced a number of indie games to drop on Xbox Game Pass in the first half of March 2025.
First there is Monster Train. It is available as standard via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Cloud, Console, and PC. Monster Train has been on the Game Pass in the past, but is back today. According to Microsoft’s account, “Monster Train brings a new strategic layer to Roguelike Deckbuilding, which features three vertical arenas.
Xbox also lists Balatro, a popular lineup. This was dropped on Xbox Game Pass last week following ID@Xbox Showcase. This release came alongside another “Jimbo Friends of Jimbo” update, which adds cosmetic changes based on Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin’s Creed, Slay the Princess, Dead by Daylight, and Fallout.
More games will soon follow. Tomorrow, March 5th, Galacticare has removed Dope, Game Pass Standard user for Xbox Series X and S, and is already available in Ultimate. Then on March 6th, you will get one lonely front post base with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for Cloud, Console and PC Users.
Next week, March 11th, Indie Darling will be joining Enter Enter on Cloud, Console and PC’s Gamen Return To Game Pass Standard, PC and Ultimate. As Xbox explains, “Enter the Gungeon is a dungeon crawler, a gunfight following a band of filming, looting, evasion, rolling and table flipping by reaching the ultimate treasure of the legendary Gungeon.
Two days later, on March 13th, Mullet Madjack will be joining Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on consoles for Cloud, PC, and Xbox series. Then, the following week, on March 18th, early access versions of 33 Immortals will be dropped on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. 33 Immortals is a cooperative action loglique for 33 players.
