One of 2025's best genre-breaking games is finally on Xbox and Game Pass

Disco Elysium, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and more coming to Xbox Game Pass Xbox Game Pass is getting another stacked wave of new games to play on the service. March's new additions are headlined by Absolum, one of last year's best action games. From developers Guard Crush Games and Supamonks, Absolum is a combination side-scrolling beat-'em-up and roguelike, mixing retro arcade game design with modern design principles. Combat is deep, with a mix of melee attacks and elemental powers at its heroes' disposal. "It’s elegantly retro, tempting me to chain together basic attacks and spell uses and rack up massive combo chains. The combat is deceptively rich too, with punish attacks (hits during an enemy’s attack recovery) and aerial maneuvers that make it feel like a fighting game when executed at a high level," our review stated. We're not alone in enjoying it — Absolum holds an 86 critic score on OpenCritic and a 90 player rating. After previously only being on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation consoles, and Windows PC, Absolum arrives on Xbox Series X and Game Pass on March 25. It sure has been a great year for slicing dudes up with a sword Also hitting Xbox Game Pass is 2019's Disc
