Madden NFL 26 Rushes to Xbox Game Pass in February Ahead of the Big Game

Super Bowl 2026 is this Sunday, and Xbox Game Pass subscribers can get started on the football action with Madden NFL 26, which is coming to the service. Subscribers can find out for themselves if the New England Patriots or the Seattle Seahawks will win the Big Game before the kickoff or start their own dynasty, at least in the game.

Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, smart TV, PC or mobile device, with prices starting at $10 a month. While all Game Pass tiers offer you a library of games, Game Pass Ultimate ($30 a month) gives you access to the most games, as well as Day 1 games.

Here are all the latest games subscribers can play on Game Pass. You can also check out other games the company added to the service in January, including Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.

Games leaving Game Pass in February

For February, Microsoft is being a little more charitable by only removing one game this month. It’s also a game not many people will miss since it’s an older sports title, but for those still playing it, now is a good time to finish up what you can before it’s gone for good on Feb. 28.
