Game Streaming services are a rising trend right now, with PlayStation+, Xbox Game Pass and Nvidia GeForce Now as the top brands that come to mind immediately. But what if we care about playing freshly released titles for free, can these services give us that?

Well, a known figure has just told us what we can expect from the Xbox Game Pass in the future.

New Releases On Xbox Game Pass

If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription and want to play certain games directly at release, we must disappoint you. JezCorden has just shared on X, what Xbox insiders have told him about new releases coming to the game pass.

Apparently, it would take approximately six to twelve months for a freshly released game to come to the Xbox Game Pass. Sad news for everyone who was hoping for immediate access to any of the latest and upcoming titles this year, such as Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth or Assassin's Creed: Shadows. Although "Like a Dragon" was released in January this year, it is still unsure when or even if the title will come to the game pass at all.

But that games will take months or even years until they come to the game pass is not always the case. There still were some day-one releases, such as Starfield or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
