Day one launches for Xbox Game Pass have become the real meat and bones of the service, offering up the chance to play the latest releases on day one as part of your subscription. 2021 saw Forza Horizon 5 reach nine million players by launching on Xbox Game Pass, and Back 4 Blood and Outriders both saw success by following this method too.

And with 2022 set to be stacked full of new games due to pandemic-related delays, we would love to see some big triple-A titles destined for our best Xbox Series X games list, as well as a few exciting-looking indies, make their way to the service when they launch.
