Xbox dropping 16 new games and 2 free ones you can download and play

This week, 16 new games will be coming to Xbox for you to purchase, or have already. There’s also a couple of Game Pass titles arriving too, coming at no extra charge for subscribers.

February has been a pretty stacked month for game releases, seeing the likes of Civilization VII, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and Avowed launching across multiple platforms.

Things aren’t slowing down either. In the week of 24 to 28 February, 16 games will be added to the Xbox store along with two Game Pass titles for you to download and play. It just never ends for your backlog, does it?

Monster Hunter Wilds is one such game releasing on Xbox this week.

On the other hand, Xbox also added two games to Game Pass this week.
