Star Wars has enchanted fans for almost five decades with stories of Jedi, the Empire and various alien species throughout the galaxy. While wielding a lightsaber or piloting an X-Wing is fun, there's more to the galaxy far, far away, like crime syndicates, heists and scoundrels. And some Xbox Game Pass subscribers explore the seedy underbelly of the galaxy in Star Wars Outlaws.
Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, smart TV and PC or mobile device, with prices starting at $10 a month. While all Game Pass tiers offer you a library of games, Game Pass Ultimate ($30 a month) gives you access to the most games, as well as Day 1 games, like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, added monthly.
Here are all the games subscribers can play on Game Pass soon. You can also check out other games the company added to the service in December, including Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Note: "Handheld" means a game is optimized for handheld play.
