Cyberpunk 2077 headlines massive Xbox Game Pass update for March 2026

Microsoft has officially unveiled the first wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2026, marking one of the service's most significant monthly updates in recent memory. Leading the expansion is CD Projekt Red’s open-world RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, which is scheduled to join the library on March 10. The announcement follows a series of viral social media teasers that utilized cryptic "internal emails" to hint at the arrival of the acclaimed title, specifically highlighting the letter "V" in reference to the game's protagonist.

The March lineup is characterized by a mix of high-profile blockbusters and highly anticipated independent releases. Alongside the neon-soaked streets of Night City, subscribers can look forward to the long-awaited debut of Hollow Knight: Silksong. The sequel to the critically adored Metroidvania is set to launch on March 12, providing immediate access to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members. The service has already seen the immediate arrival of Final Fantasy III and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, both of which became available to play on March 3.

The early weeks of the month will also cater to racing and simulation enthusiasts. EA Sports F1 25 arrives on March 4, offering the latest digital representation of the FIA Formula One World Championship across cloud, console, and PC platforms. This will be followed on March 5 by Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf, a cinematic sci-fi adventure that serves as a day-one release for the service. Construction Simulator is also slated for a March 10 release, allowing players to manage large-scale industrial projects.

For those focused on competitive multiplayer, Microsoft confirmed a substantial update for Call of Duty: Warzone arriving on March 13. This update introduces Black Ops Royale, a new free-to-play mode set on the Avalon map that emphasizes scavenging and tactical play by removing standard loadouts. While the library expands, several titles are also preparing to depart the service. Members have until March 15 to play games such as Enter the Gungeon, F1 23, and Lightyear Frontier before they are rotated out of the catalog.
