Xbox Game Pass Heats Up in Late 2025: DOOM, Indie Gems, and More!
Xbox Game Pass is poised for a blockbuster second half of 2025, offering a diverse range of experiences for gamers. From the highly anticipated DOOM: The Dark Ages to charming indie titles like Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, there's something to pique every player's interest. Let's dive into what makes the upcoming months so exciting!
DOOM: The Dark Ages, launching May 15th, 2025, is undoubtedly a major highlight. This installment promises an epic campaign against Hell, available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC via Microsoft Store, Steam, and Battle.net. It's also hitting Game Pass Ultimate, including PC Game Pass and NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW, and Boosteroid soon.
For those daunted by DOOM's intensity, there's Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo, releasing day-one on Xbox Game Pass on May 16th, 2025. This cozy indie title, featuring a unique papercraft art style, casts you as Kulebra, a dead snake helping souls trapped in Limbo find their way. Gamers will explore, uncover clues, and overcome obstacles in the haunting land.
This year has already seen a surge of quality additions to Xbox Game Pass. Fraser Gilbert of Pure Xbox highlights that April 2025 witnessed one of the best months ever for the service, while May and June are also packed with enticing additions. With so many games vying for attention it's tempting to branch out beyond familiar titles and test the waters.
Furthermore, developers are keen to ensure the best possible experience for players on PC. For DOOM: The Dark Ages players running on supported NVIDIA GPUs will need to have 576.40 or higher drivers installed and players running the game on supported AMD GPUs will need to have 25.5.1or higher drivers installed
The variety of games headed to Xbox Game Pass suggests Microsoft's commitment to offering something for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned FPS player gearing up for the demonic hordes of DOOM or drawn to the emotional narrative of Kulebra's afterlife adventure, the second half of 2025 promises to be stacked with gaming gold.
