Originally released for PlayStation 4 back in 2017 before soaring its way to Windows, The Zodiac Age - a winner of the RPGFan Editor’s Choice award! - finally made the jump to Xbox One (and Nintendo Switch) in 2019. Rejoice, all ye Ivalice fans, for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Agehas been judged worthy of the Game Pass treatment. Thus, Final Fantasy diehards may be pleased to know that as the good Phil Spencer doth taketh away, he is also inclined to giveth.


The list includes Jurassic World: Evolution, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, and Xbox Series X launch. Final Fantasy VII through XV (excluding the two MMOs) will get added to Game Pass in the coming months, Microsoft announced today during the latest episode of Inside Xbox at this year’s XO19 fan. (And Microsoft even went the extra mile by slotting in Episode Ardyn, which isn’t typically part of Royal Edition.) In short, Final Fantasy XV‘s exit from the Game Pass catalog ruffled a few chocobo tail feathers. Microsoft revealed the round of games coming to its Xbox Game Pass service in February. Especially unfortunate was the fact that this wasn’t just the vanilla version of FFXV it was Royal Edition, the updated re-release that packed in most of the DLC episodes as well as a bevy of new content. It was a real bummer for Xbox JRPG lovers last month when Final Fantasy XV departed from Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s all-you-can-play service that is inevitably compared to Netflix every time a games journalist mentions it, so I’ll go ahead and compare it to Netflix in this sentence. It’s our favorite time of the month: The day when we get to share new games coming to Xbox Game Pass for PC Coincidentally our next favorite time is when we get to say, Available Today But I digress.
