All seven games will be added to Xbox Game Pass throughout the month and are free for subscribers.

They are all available for Xbox’s cheaper tier Xbox Game Pass for Console, and all but one can be played via Xbox Game Pass for PC.

The highlight of the games launching on the service in March is the excellent Control: Ultimate Edition, which has an 87 rating on review aggregate site Metacritic.

Control is a third-person action-adventure game developed by Remedy, the team behind the recent hit Alan Wake 2.

Another big-name game launching on Game Pass this month is No More Heroes 3, the long-awaited sequel to the hack and slash series.
