The first games coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate during March 2024 have been announced, and there are a few surprises to go with the expected day-one games. We already knew about the impending release of MLB The Show 24 and Lightyear Frontier, but there are a couple of older faces and others to keep the kids occupied.
Here are the Xbox Game Pass March 2024 Wave 1 games
The first wave of March games on Game Pass began today, March 5, with the arrival of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. This was revealed last month and isn’t included in today’s list, which adds another six games over the next two weeks.
Both day-one releases appear at the end of the period on March 19, although Game Pass members who purchase the Digital Deluxe Add-On Bundle for MLB The Show 24 can play the game four days earlier on March 15. Before that, Paw Patrol and SpongeBob SquarePants will help to entertain younger players, while Control makes a return to the service for a second stint. The full list includes:
- PAW Patrol World (Console, PC, and Cloud) – March 7
- SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated (Console, PC, and Cloud) – March 12
- Control Ultimate Edition (Console, PC, and Cloud) – March 13
- No More Heroes 3 (Console, PC, and Cloud) – March 14
- Lightyear Frontier (Game Preview) (Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud) – March 19
- MLB The Show 24 (Console and Cloud) – March 19
As well as the new games, there are a couple of brand new Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Perks that have become available over the past few days:
- Stumble Guys Retro Hot Dog Pack with Retro Hot Dog skin, Fire Emote, 250 Gems and 50 Stumble Tokens
- Century: Age of Ashes – Forgotten Bay Pack with the Forgotten Bay dragon, the Flaming Crude Cleaver axe and a 14-Day XP Booster
Finally, there are just three games leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 15. Hardspace: Shipbreaker, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered, and Shredders will all be leaving console, PC, and cloud.
