A release date announcement at a competitor’s event confirms a day one game joining Xbox Game Pass on May 9.

The Nintendo Indie World showcase confirmed the release date for Little Kitty, Big City, a game that will be coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one of its release. Xbox Game Pass announcements typically come directly from Microsoft itself, but there are times when reveals happen elsewhere. For example, sometimes companies drop release date trailers for games that have already been confirmed for Game Pass.
However, it’s rare that an Xbox Game Pass reveal would actually take place thanks to a competitor, though it’s not unheard of. Since third-party games are featured at events hosted by Nintendo and PlayStation, there have been times when said events have inadvertently featured unexpected reveals for Xbox Game Pass. So is the case with the latest Nintendo Indie World showcase, which announced the release date for a day one Xbox Game Pass game.
As announced during the Nintendo Indie World showcase, Little Kitty, Big City is coming to Xbox Game Pass on May 9. The game will also be available for PC and Nintendo Switch, but Xbox gamers can play it through their subscription at no additional cost. For those unfamiliar with the game, Little Kitty, Big City is exactly as it sounds. It puts players in the role of a cat exploring a “big city,” causing general havoc while completing various cat-related objectives.
The Little Kitty, Big City release date trailer also featured another glimpse at what fans can expect from gameplay. The trailer shows the titular “kitty” meowing at humans, climbing walls, knocking things off ledges, dressing up in different costumes, interacting with other animals, and more. The ultimate goal of the Little Kitty, Big City game is for the cat to find its way back home, but players have a sizable open world to explore while they look to accomplish that goal.
