Five Xbox Game Pass Titles Get New Reveals At The New Game Plus Showcase 2026
Towerborne is leaving early access in February and ditching its free-to-play model in favour of a “buy once, offline game” that avoids monetisation and pay-to-win mechanics, while Grounded 2 is getting a big free update in the near future.
The third-party games we saw were Aphelion and Denshattack!. Both of these received exclusive looks during the event and have already been confirmed for Xbox Game Pass at some point in 2026, with Aphelion being a sci-fi adventure from DON’T NOD (Life is Strange, Jusant) and Denshattack! being a crazy fast-paced train game that seems to have Jet Set Radio and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk inspirations!
We’ll leave you with closer looks at all of these five Xbox Game Pass titles down below:
Aphelion – Exclusive Look (TBD 2026) (Xbox Game Pass)
Hunted on a frozen planet, astronaut Ariane must brave rugged landscapes and shifting realities to rescue her wounded partner, Thomas. This action-packed sci-fi adventure blends exploration, traversal, and tense stealth gameplay.
Avowed – PS5 Release & Anniversary Update Details (February 17, 2026) (Xbox Game Pass)

Grounded 2 – Dev Interview & New Update Reveal (TBD) (Xbox Game Pass)
Shrunk again, but the world is much larger. In this open-world, single-player or co-op survival adventure, craft weapons and armor, build your base, and traverse the playground on your buggy. But something else is out there—and it hasn’t forgotten you.
