Xbox Game Pass: This second wave of games is rolling toward your subscription

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Xbox Game Pass: This second wave of games is rolling toward your subscription.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, it's worth taking a look at the incoming arrivals: Microsoft is pushing a second wave of games according to gaming portal ActuGaming. Two titles are already locked in; the rest exists so far only as an announcement.

What we know so far concretely: included is the recently launched Square Enix remake Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, which is likely to bring the PS5 launch in expanded form to PC and into the subscription catalog. Joining it is The Séance of Blake Manor – a mystery/detective game known for its atmosphere and investigation mechanics.

What Microsoft is announcing according to ActuGaming

The portal speaks of a second wave – meaning not the first batch of new titles in the current month, but a follow-up delivery. This is a typical pattern: Microsoft often spreads Game Pass additions across several release dates to stagger attention and downloads.

Beyond the two highlighted titles, the original article's headline mentions "d'autres" – other games. Which ones those are, the available teaser doesn't reveal. Once the full list is officially confirmed by Microsoft or Xbox Wire, this article can be properly updated.

What this means for you: If you're already paying for Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, the two mentioned titles are included at no extra cost. The Séance of Blake Manor is a classic "play instead of buy" candidate – a mystery game that plays well across multiple sessions. FF VII Remake Intergrade is on its own already a purchase argument and one of the biggest Square Enix additions in recent months.

What's still open

Release date: No specific date mentioned in the teaser. Releases typically follow a 14-day rhythm, often mid-week.

Platforms: Standard is Xbox console and cloud gaming. For Square Enix titles, it's worth a look at the PC catalog – FF VII Remake Intergrade already ran on PC via the Epic Games Store, and a Game Pass PC entry is the obvious route.

Remaining list: Likely indie and smaller titles rounding out the wave. That requires the official Microsoft confirmation.

If you don't want to miss anything, it's worth checking the Xbox app on console or PC – new Game Pass titles typically appear in the catalog directly as soon as they're unlocked.
