Despite the already excellent lineup, Xbox had one more surprise for owners.
There is another game coming to Xbox Game Pass on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, bringing the total up to nine.
Tales of Arise is a hugely popular JRPG that has a massive 87 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic.
Unusually, Tales of Arise is also coming to PlayStation Plus Extra on the same day, instead of being exclusive to one service.

The blurb reads: “300 years of tyranny. A mysterious mask. Lost pain and memories.
“Wield the Blazing Sword and join a mysterious, untouchable girl to fight your oppressors.
“Experience a tale of liberation, featuring characters with next-gen graphical expressiveness!”

Released in 2021, it was widely praised by fans and critics alike who were desperate to play after five years without a new entry.
You can play Tales of Arise whether you’re an Xbox or PlayStation fan, but there is an extra incentive to play on PlayStation.
Not only is Tales of Arise coming to PS Plus in February, but Tales of Zestiria, Tales of Vesperia, and Tales of Symphonia will also be joining.
Those who only subscribe to Xbox Game Pass can still enjoy the latest Tales game with their subscription.
