Recent whispers from the gaming sphere suggest that a couple of Activision Blizzard’s titles are set to hit Xbox Game Pass this coming February. Fans of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time can look forward to tackling those achievements via the service, while might also get the chance to dive into Heroes of the Storm and EA Sports Madden NFL 25, alongside other anticipated Game Pass titles for the month.
In a recent scoop from Insider Gaming, the well-regarded leaker eXtas1s shared insights about three upcoming additions to Xbox Game Pass scheduled for February. The buzz revolves around Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and Heroes of the Storm being next in line for the service, with EA Sports Madden NFL 25 joining the EA Play catalog specifically for Game Pass Ultimate members.
Some months back, an ad hinted at the possibility of Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time making its way to Game Pass. Now, it seems February could mark the arrival of this beloved 2020 release where players join Crash and Coco in a race to save the multiverse.
Turning to EA Sports Madden NFL 25, this title stands as the freshest entry in the American football franchise, having arrived on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One back in June 2024. Typically, EA titles transition to the EA Play library between six months and a year after they debut, so it aligns with projections to see it join Game Pass Ultimate in February.
Heroes of the Storm adds an intriguing twist, being a no-cost MOBA on PC. If this title does land in the PC Game Pass lineup, Xbox Game Pass subscribers might enjoy an array of in-game perks akin to those found in Blizzard’s free-to-play hero shooter, Overwatch 2.
In tandem with the reveal of January’s second wave of Game Pass games, Microsoft also confirmed that both Far Cry New Dawn and the upcoming Avowed are set to debut on the service next month.
