Is Sons of the Forest on Xbox Game Pass?

With Sons of the Forest available through early access, players are wondering if the title will be available for those with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, so here’s everything we know.

PC users can check out Sons of the Forest, the survival horror title that pits you against dangerous enemies as you try to make it off a remote island alive by using the resources that you find.

Xbox players are wondering if the sequel to 2014’s The Forest will be arriving on the Game Pass. If you want to know whether or not the game will be on the subscription service then we’ve got you covered.

Is Sons of the Forest coming to Xbox Game Pass?

Currently, Sons of the Forest has not been confirmed to arrive on Xbox Game Pass and is only available on PC through Steam. This may be disappointing to Game Pass members who hoped to pick up the game through their membership.

This isn’t too surprising as the original, The Forest, did not release on the Xbox console and was initially available on PC before later being added to the PlayStation 4. So, it’s possible that Sons of the Forest may never arrive on Game Pass.

Sons of the Forest became available through early access for PC players on February 23, 2023. While it’s a sequel, the devs have made it clear that players don’t need to play The Forest to fully understand or enjoy this new title.

It’s set on a remote island that’s occupied by cannibals and dangerous mutants that are out to get you. Throughout the game, you’ll have to explore, gather, and craft everything that you need to survive.
