Another Crab’s Treasure

Another Crab’s Treasure is a colorful and challenging Soulslike adventure game about Kril, a hermit crab, who’s on a mission to get back his repossessed shell. Something called the Gunk has been corrupting the ocean and its creatures, meaning the tiny crab has to go up against some difficult enemies and bosses, and must rely on repurposing trash as defensive gear.

The game has a completion estimate of around 15 to 20 hours. There’s no walkthrough yet, and the game has had issues with broken achievements, so it’s worth keeping an eye on individual achievement guides.

Another Crab’s Treasure is already available with Xbox Game Ultimate and PC Game Pass and joins Xbox Game Pass Standard on February 5.

Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Already included with Ultimate and PC Game Pass, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is joining Standard on February 5. With over 100 playable characters Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is a turn-based JRPG that will take you on an epic journey through a war-torn world that only you and your merry band of companions can save.

In terms of achievements, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes will take between 120 and 150 hours, so be prepared to invest a fair chunk of time if you want the 1,000G.

Starfield

  • The Starfield achievements will take you a good chunk of time
  • Joining Game Pass on: February 5
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Standard
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PC
Starfield, Bethesda’s massive space RPG, has long been available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass but arrives for Game Pass Standard on February 5. It takes you to the Settled Systems to join the group of space explorers known as Constellation, who make it their mission to uncover the galaxy’s secrets.

It’s a beast of a game and will take between 80 to 100 hours to complete the base game, and we have a Starfield walkthrough here on TrueAchievements to walk you through it and to point out its buggier achievements.

EA Sports Madden NFL 25

  • Here are the EA Sports Madden NFL 25 achievements
  • Joining Game Pass on: February 6
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass via EA Play
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One
Madden NFL 25 touches down on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass via EA Play on February 6. This year’s entry brings a new dynamic tackling system that features some pretty brutal and realistic collisions, new gameplay animations, a new ball carrier balance system, physics-driven drives, trucks, and stiff arms. All of this, combined with a revamped Franchise mode, makes for an excellent American Football experience.

According to estimates, unlocking all 20 Madden NFL 25 achievements will take between 150 and 200 hours. The Xbox One version also has its own separate list of achievements.

Kingdom Two Crowns

  • Make sure you take a look at the Kingdom Two Crowns achievements flags before playing
  • Joining Game Pass on: Thursday, February 13, 2025
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Standard
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, Cloud
With a gorgeous art style and outstanding score, Kingdom Two Crowns is a sidescrolling single-player and co-op strategy management game. That’s a lot to digest, but all you need to know is that it’s a good timewaster. Its simplicity is the key to success, giving it a moreish quality like Vampire Survivors.

Some of our wonderful community have put together a great walkthrough for you guys, which will take you through the base game in an estimated 20 hours or so. However, looking at the low completion rate (even for the base game), it appears that collecting all the achievements will take a fair amount longer at 30 hours.

I’ve seen reports of some update-induced bugs and soft-locking on achievements, so if you dive in just make sure you research the present state of the list. In the Call of Olympus DLC, you’ll find one discontinued achievement called ‘Mediterranean Vacation’ for beating all portals across the ten lands — because of this, the 100% completion rate is very low.

Avowed

  • We’re still waiting for the Avowed achievements
  • Joining Game Pass on: February 18
  • Game Pass Tier: Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass
  • Platforms: Xbox Series X|S, PC
Avowed is one of the most-anticipated upcoming Xbox exclusives of 2025. The fantasy action-RPG (set in the world of Pillars of Eternity’s Eora) takes us to the Living Lands to investigate a strange plague. Helping us on our quest will be a party of companions, while we’ll be wielding magic, swords, guns, and more against the island’s many enemies.

Avowed launches into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on February 18.

Microsoft has also confirmed that Xbox Game Pass will lose seven games in the first half of February 2025.

What do you make of the February 2025 Wave 1 Game Pass lineup? Do you think Avowed will make our list of the best Xbox exclusives? Let us know down in the comments.
