March is here, and with it comes a fresh batch of games for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Whether you’re into strategic deck-building, sci-fi farming, or high-octane action, there’s something for everyone this month. Let’s dive into the lineup and see what Microsoft has in store for us.
Monster Train – Available Today
Hell has frozen over, and it’s up to you to protect the final burning pyre from the forces of heaven. Monster Train returns to the Game Pass library, bringing a new strategic layer to roguelike deck-building with three vertical playing fields to defend. If you missed it the first time around, now’s your chance to hop on board and restore the inferno.
Galacticare – March 5
Ever dreamed of running an interstellar healthcare company? Well, now you can! In Galacticare, you are the Director of an interstellar healthcare company and quasi-voluntary savior of the galaxy (for cash). Build hospitals, recruit staff, and cure bizarre alien illnesses. Save the galaxy in story mode or design the hospital of your dreams in sandbox mode. Just remember, no pressure—it’s only the fate of the galaxy at stake.
One Lonely Outpost – March 6
Turn a barren alien planet into a flourishing home in this cozy, sci-fi farming sim. Terraform the land, grow organic or genetically modified crops, and raise adorable robo-livestock. Harness renewable energy, deploy drones to fish and forage, befriend and romance settlers, and uncover the planet’s secrets as your colony thrives. It’s like Stardew Valley, but with more robots and fewer chickens.
Enter the Gungeon – March 11
Returning to the Game Pass library, Enter the Gungeon is a gunfight dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge, roll, and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past. If you enjoy bullet hell games and have a penchant for table-flipping, this one’s for you.
Mullet Madjack – March 13
Get ready for some high-octane action with Mullet Madjack. This shooter puts you directly inside a classic anime, where you can pick your favorite weapon and reach the last floor to beat your best time. Haste makes waste… of your enemies! So grab your mullet and get ready to unleash some serious firepower.
33 Immortals – March 18
Available on day one, 33 Immortals is a co-op action-roguelike for 33 players. Play as a damned soul and rebel against God’s final judgment. Dive straight into epic, 33-player co-op battles with instant “pick-up and raid” matchmaking. Cooperate with your allies to survive against hordes of monsters and massive, challenging bosses. Expand your arsenal and equip powerful new relics to permanently upgrade your soul. It’s like a raid party, but with more souls and fewer respawns.
In Case You Missed It: Balatro – Available Now
This award-winning, poker-inspired roguelike deck builder is all about creating powerful synergies and winning big. Play illegal poker hands, discover game-changing jokers, and trigger adrenaline-pumping, outrageous combos. You’re going to need every edge you can get to reach the boss, beat the final ante, and secure victory.
