Remnant: From the Ashes and its sequel, Remnant 2, have been discreetly added to both Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. These new games had not been announced before their addition to the game pass but the move was highly welcomed. As both games have good records and reviews, their addition seems valuable to the users of Game Pass.
Gunfire Games’ Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 are third-person survival action shooter titles, which are often described as Souls-like shooters and are now available on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. Remnant: From the Ashes was released in 2019 while its sequel was released recently in July 2023.
Neither of these titles was included in Microsoft’s unveiling of the upcoming Game Pass releases for the second half of November, which highlighted Persona 5 Tactica, Dune: Spice Wars, and Rollerdome.

Remnant: From the Ashes and Remnant 2 Now on Xbox Game Pass At No Extra Cost
The first game in the Remnant series received generally favourable reviews and by December 2021, it had surpassed 3 million units in sales with two additional DLCs. Its sequel, Remnant 2 was announced during the Game Awards 2022, and much to the exceptional expectations, the game outperformed its prequel both in terms of sales and reviews.
Remnant 2 marked its first high record by having sold more than a million copies in the first week of release in the United States. Attaining a peak concurrent player count exceeding 110,000 on PC through Steam alone, it even surpassed Baldurโs Gate 3, this yearโs unforeseen gaming sensation, in terms of Steam sales for a specific period.
With this remarkable success, the game has earned a nomination in the Best Action Game category at The Game Awards 2023, scheduled for December 7. Several players anticipated this announcement at The Game Awards 2023 but Microsoft seems to have different plans for it. We may expect more titles to be added in the coming days.
According to a report, we may witness first-party titles like Far Cry 6, Goat Simulator 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to the subscription service in December. In an event at the Wells Fargo TMT Summit, the Chief Financial Officer of Xbox expressed the company’s aims to bring Game Pass to consoles of PlayStation, Nintendo and possibly every playable screen.
2023 has been a great year for Xbox Game Pass and the company with the release of AAA titles like Starfield, Ghostwire, Cocoon, Forza Motorsport and more.
