Recent reports suggest that two popular titles from Activision Blizzard are making their way to Xbox Game Pass this February. Fans will soon be able to earn achievements in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, and join in on the action with Heroes of the Storm and EA Sports Madden NFL 25, alongside other anticipated Game Pass releases for the month.
With three potential additions to Xbox Game Pass in February, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, Heroes of the Storm, and EA Sports Madden NFL 25 are creating quite a buzz. Notably, Heroes of the Storm is designed for PC, so it’ll likely find its new home on the PC Game Pass. Meanwhile, EA Sports Madden NFL 25 is expected to be accessible via EA Play for those subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate.
The source of this exciting leak, eXtas1s, has a strong track record of Game Pass news. According to a report on Insider Gaming, both Crash Bandicoot 4 and Heroes of the Storm are set to join Xbox Game Pass, alongside EA Sports Madden NFL 25, which is rumored to enter the EA Play lineup for Game Pass Ultimate users.
Hints from advertising late last year indicated that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time might be heading to Game Pass, and it seems February could be the launch time. Released in 2020, this thrilling platformer takes players on a journey across the multiverse with the iconic duo, Crash and Coco.
EA Sports Madden NFL 25, the latest installment of the popular American football series, premiered on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in June 2024. Typically, EA’s titles are introduced on EA Play several months post-launch, so a February appearance wouldn’t come as a shock for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
As for Heroes of the Storm, it’s a bit of an anomaly. This free-to-play MOBA is a staple on PC and may bring Xbox Game Pass PC subscribers some interesting perks, much like Blizzard’s popular free hero shooter, Overwatch 2, did.
In tandem with unveiling January’s second set of Game Pass games, Microsoft announced that both Far Cry New Dawn and Avowed are set to join the service next month. What are your thoughts on this exciting lineup? Are any of these rumored games on your radar? Share your thoughts with us below!
