Exciting Addition to Xbox Game Pass: Highly Rated Action Game Now Available
Experience the latest update on Xbox Game Pass featuring a thrilling action game that has garnered 'Very Positive' reviews from thousands of users. Dive into the excitement with Microsoft's subscription service this March.
The Xbox Game Pass catalog has recently grown with the addition of Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. This marks the first new game added in March 2024 to Microsoft's subscription service, making it the 28th title to join Xbox Game Pass since the beginning of the year.
Since 2020, Microsoft's subscription service has typically received one Warhammer game each year. Half of these games were from Games Workshop's mainline fantasy franchise, while the other half belonged to the sci-fi spin-off series Warhammer 40k. The most recent addition before today was Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, which was released on PC in November 2022 and later on consoles in October the following year.

The Warhammer game selection on Xbox Game Pass has expanded to include Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. This fast-paced boomer shooter, developed by British studio Auroch Digital, is less than a year old, with its initial release on PC and consoles in May 2023. Warhammer 40k: Boltgun has garnered mostly positive reviews from critics and has received an even warmer reception from fans, evident in its over 10,000 "Very Positive" Steam reviews.
