Remnant 2 is a sequel to Remnant: From the Ashes, a third-person shooter, soulslike game that was released mid-2019. As the first game was successful, especially with fans of co-op gameplay, players have been wondering if Remnant 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass.

Is Remnant 2 on Xbox Game Pass?

Although it was not on the service at launch, Remnant 2 is now, as of Nov. 29, 2023, available on Xbox Game Pass. This is an excellent addition to the Game Pass lineup, but it’s also disappointing for those who own an Xbox console and have already purchased Remnant 2.

Traditionally, if a game is planning to be available on Game Pass, either the developers or Microsoft will make it known months or weeks before launch. In most cases, if nothing is said about a game coming to Game Pass, it usually means the game will not arrive on the service, at least on day one. However, when Remnant 2 officially launched on July 25, 2023, this wasn’t the case, which disappointed many Revenant fans. Those who wanted to play the horror survival game on Xbox had to buy it because it wasn’t known whether it would launch on Game Pass or not.

Thankfully, Remnant 2 is now available on Xbox Game Pass, and so is the first title in the series, Remnant: From the Ashes. However, if you wish to purchase Remnant 2, either because you don’t have Game Pass or you’re discontinuing your Game Pass subscription, it will cost you $50, which is a little pricey.

That said, they often have sales, so it’s worth picking it up when it’s on sale. Remnant 2 is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
