Three more games reportedly coming to Xbox Game Pass in February

Blizzard's Heroes of the Storm isn't on console, so it'll likely only join PC Game Pass
EA Sports Madden NFL 25 will reportedly join EA Play for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers

As reported over on Insider Gaming, eXtas1s, who has who has a good track record for Game Pass leaks, claims three more games are on the docket for February. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and Heroes of the Storm will reportedly be the next Activision Blizzard titles to join the service, while EA Sports Madden NFL 25 will apparently drop into the EA Play library for Game Pass Ultimate members.

We caught wind of an advertisement that suggested Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time could be on the way for Game Pass in December, and it looks like we could see it happen in February. Released in 2020, Crash Bandicoot 4 takes us on a platforming adventure to save the multiverse as Crash and his sister Coco.

EA Sports Madden NFL 25 is the latest iteration of the American football game, which launched on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One in June 2024. EA's games usually drop into the EA Play library between six months and a year after launch, so it wouldn't be surprising to see this one arrive for Game Pass Ultimate members in February.

As for Heroes of the Storm, it's a strange one, as it is a free-to-play MOBA on PC. If it does drop into the PC Game Pass library, it'll likely offer Xbox Game Pass subscribers a slew of in-game benefits similar to Blizzard's free hero shooter, Overwatch 2.

When announcing the second batch of January Game Pass games, Microsoft also confirmed that Far Cry New Dawn will join the service alongside Avowed next month. What do you make of this news? Would you be interested in any of the games rumored to be joining the service next month? Let us know down below!
