Xbox Game Pass early March 2023 additions include Valheim, Civilization VI

Xbox has revealed the next set of games that will be available to Xbox Game Pass subscribers over the next couple of weeks.

March is a relatively unassuming month for the service – with many of the games already appearing elsewhere – but it’s also a day one debut for several of these titles as they make their way to Xbox for the first time.

Here’s everything up for grabs this month, followed by the games that’ll be leaving the service in the next two weeks.

First off is today’s launch of Guilty Gear Strive – with the stylised beat-em-up finally arriving on Xbox following a successful two years on other formats. It’s fast paced action – and is available on the service on Cloud, Console and PC. You can read more on that here.

Then, March 9 sees a couple of EA titles head to the Cloud – namely, the final two offerings in the original Dead Space trilogy – Dead Space 2 and Dead Space 3 – will be playable on the go via EA Play.

March 14 sees the arrival of Valheim, with the massively successful Viking-mythology themed survival game making the jump from PC to Xbox consoles for the first time. It’s playable with up to 10 players, and arrives on Xbox Game Pass on Console in Game Preview form.

Later that week, players on Cloud, Console and PC can enjoy a slice of grand strategy from the grandaddy of them all – Sid Meier’s Civilization VI – from March 16.

Finally, March 21 brings us JRPG Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom on Console and PC. Even better, it’s the Prince’s Edition, which includes all the DLC for the game too.
