Day One Xbox Game Pass Game for 2024 Gets Release Window

A brand-new, day one Xbox Game Pass game coming in 2024 confirms a more specific release window for subscribers to keep in mind.

2024 will be full of new Xbox Game Pass releases, including day one game Harold Halibut, which has now confirmed an early 2024 release window. While there are still some Xbox Game Pass additions to check out before 2023 is over, there have already been a handful of Xbox Game Pass games announced for 2024.

Most of the new Xbox Game Pass games for 2024 remain a secret at the time of this writing, but fans can count on games like Obsidian’s Avowed to join the service next year alongside other first-party titles like Hellblade 2. Of course, there will be plenty of smaller-scale indie games joining the Xbox Game Pass service in 2024 as well, with one of the more visually-interesting upcoming titles being Harold Halibut from developer Slow Bros.

Harold Halibut is now pegged to hit the Xbox Game Pass subscription service at some point in early 2024, which means it will almost certainly release within the first three months of the new year. Harold Halibut is a narrative-driven game with a unique claymation art style. Harold Halibut‘s striking visuals have been turning heads for years, and it will definitely be exciting to see how the final product turns out. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to find out without paying anything beyond their usual subscription fee.

As far as new Xbox Game Pass games for 2024 go, Harold Halibut is potentially the most visually-distinct. This should go a long way in helping the game stand out from the pack, as 2024 is sure to be a busy year for the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. If Harold Halibut‘s unique art style is combined with strong review scores, it could very well turn out to be one of the better Xbox Game Pass games of 2024.

Some Xbox Game Pass subscribers are already looking forward to 2024 and what the new year has in store for the subscription service, but it’s worth looking back at some of the big games that were added in 2023. 2023 has been an incredible year for Xbox Game Pass, with the last few months especially being huge for the service. Bethesda’s open world sci-fi RPG Starfield joined Xbox Game Pass this past September, while blockbuster racing game Forza Motorsport launched in October. November saw its fair share of day one releases, and there are many new Xbox Game Pass games for December 2023 that have yet to be added. Needless to say, Xbox Game Pass subscribers should have no shortage of games to play while they wait for Harold Halibut and 2024’s other Game Pass offerings.
