Notably, CrossfireX and Ark: Ultimate Survivor Edition made their with to Game Pass on February 10 and 14, respectively.
Since its original launch in the summer of 2017, Xbox Game Pass has continuously increased its overall value. The lowest tier costs $9.99 per month, guaranteeing subscribers access to a vast catalogue of experiences that include first-party Xbox Game Studios titles. Meanwhile, the Ultimate subscription bears a $15 price tag, with the extra chunk of change securing access to EA Play, cloud gaming on mobile and tablet, and a bevy of exclusive in-game perks such as bonus Halo Infinite rewards.

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can take to the stars in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, thanks to EA Play. The EA service will also allow Ultimate members to access Madden NFL 22 on February 17; Lawn Mowing Simulator comes to Game Pass for Xbox One users the same day. February 17 will further see PC users unlock access to day one Game Pass title Total War: Warhammer III. Roboquest (Gameplay Preview) hits the service for PC on February 22, followed by the release of Galactic Civilizations III and Super Mega Baseball 3 (EA Play) on February 24. Finally, Alice Madness Returns will round out the month on February 28 for PC via EA Play.
This seems a solid lineup with which to round out the month, especially for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.

And the likes of Madden NFL 22 and Alice Madness Returns serve as heavy-hitters in their own right.
The upcoming Total War entry isn't all Game Pass members have to look forward to in terms of day one additions, either. Of course, first-party experiences such as Redfall and Starfield appear on the docket. But several eagerly-anticipated third-party titles were previously confirmed to receive day-and-date Xbox Game Pass releases as well, including MLB The Show 22, A Plague Tale: Requiem, and Atomic Heart.
