Will Tekken 8 be on Xbox Game Pass?

Now that Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8 has arrived on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, you may be wondering whether it is going to come to Xbox Game Pass as well. So, here’s everything you need to know about Tekken 8 coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Tekken 8 is the exciting return of Bandai Namco’s iconic fighting game, which sees new mechanics such as the Heat System, as well as crossplay to help better its online matchmaking experience.

With crossplay officially in the game, you and all your friends across different platforms can connect and play together using the wide array of characters. Whether your friends are on PC, PS5, or Xbox, you’ll be able to enjoy Tekken 8 with them no matter the platform.

However, you may be wondering whether Tekken 8 will be on Xbox Game Pass, so here’s your answer.

Is Tekken 8 coming to Xbox Game Pass?

As of now, Bandai Namco have made no announcement about Tekken 8 being on Xbox Game Pass. That said, it’s unlikely that Tekken 8 will be on the subscription service anytime soon following launch, as Bandai have released the game at full price for you to purchase it, as opposed to adding it to Game Pass as a day one title.

While Tekken 8 is not on Xbox Game Pass right now, there is, of course, a chance that it will be added to the Xbox Game Pass sometime later, much like what happened with Tekken 7. While it isn’t on there now, Tekken 8’s predecessor, Tekken 7, was on the Xbox Game Pass for some time back in 2020.

It was removed in 2021, but those on Xbox could get the game for free for about a year. This was a good five years after the game’s launch on consoles, so perhaps we can expect a similar trajectory for Tekken 8 when it comes to its availability on the Xbox Game Pass.
