Xbox Game Pass has now dropped the genie out of the bottle: More games are coming soon to the service, and the options are making players go mad. A cryptic tweet was sent out by the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter handle, the text stating: “THIS JUST IN: MORE GAMES COMING SOON.” The link that came with it sent the entire fraternity of gaming into a clamor of guessing and demanding.
The reply to the tweet shows an incredible demand for one title: World of Warcraft. Many players were begging for Blizzard’s flagship MMORPG to be added to the service, with one user (@luizfbrc) even suggesting it be put on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass PC. They were elated so much that the user started off with “WE EATING GOOD BOYS!” before continuing with the WoW request. Another player (@helergoft) stated in less polished words, “We need the WoW or TESO included in game pass,” reflecting the desperation of the community for these massive online worlds.
Still, it was not only WoW that gathered the spotlight. Call of Duty: WWII was also mentioned among the most requested games, with many players, like @mjgvibes and @LuisPlatero14, asking for the shooter to be listed in Game Pass. A player by the name of @GamingHornet97 seemed scarcely to consider whether COD WWII would indeed have crossplay from the moment it is added by Xbox and PC Game Pass.
Some strayed from the excited masses, though. They seemed to be the ones who couldn’t bear the news of another fresh game dropping, with @felnec_219 joking, “Bro let me finish other games first.” Instead of joining the fun, he called Game Pass a “rental service” for “shitty games,” and the conversation after his comment became heated.
One interesting aspect is that a large number of players are using this as an opportunity to submit direct petitions for their favorite games. The replies section suddenly became a suggestion box, with requests ranging from WoW to Rematch (which @Animusx__ is looking forward to trying) to TESO. This type of direct community engagement speaks volumes about Game Pass’s ability to shape player expectations and desires.
The timing of this announcement marks a momentous occasion: Now that the Microsoft acquisition of Activision Blizzard is finally concluded, players are more eager than ever to see some heavy hitters from that publisher take their sweet spots on Game Pass. The constant mentions of WoW down in the replies are a testament of how much the community yearns for Microsoft to flex this new ownership and put that gargantuan train of Tech and TESO money on Game Pass.
Of course, the announcement is still veiled in secrecy regarding which games are next on track to arrive as a new slew of titles, and the sheer variety of demands in the replies gives away how diverse the Game Pass audience is. Picture players ranging from MMO fans to shooter enthusiasts to people merely trying to keep up with their backlogs. Each one has some kind of wishlist for what can come to service next.
One thing the world knows for sure is that Xbox Game Pass still remains to dominate discussions about gaming. What this recent tease attests to is that the service isn’t going to slow down anytime soon. Will World of Warcraft or Call of Duty WWII actually be added? Seeing to that is another story, but the community has made it quite clear as to what it wants. And now, all that is left for us to do is wait and watch if Microsoft decides to entertain those wishes in its next batch of Game Pass games.
