After a dire couple of weeks with virtually no new games releasing on Xbox, fans will be happy to know thatShadow Warrior 3is most likely dropping on theXbox Game Passservice in the near future, even as soon as today.
Strangely, there hasn’t actually been any kind of formal announcement byMicrosoft, at least not directly. Some users on theXbox Game Pass subreddithave shared screenshots of notifications pushed to their phones via the Xbox Game Pass mobile app, and it’s here that we have learned that Shadow Warrior 3 may be coming to the subscription service.

Stranded Deep was a recent surprise addition to Xbox Game Pass, dropping in on January 3 with no prior announcement, though after a quick search on the mobile app and console store, we’re unable to find Shadow Warrior 3 as being part of the service. It’s likely, then, that a notification that was scheduled for a later date has been accidentally sent to players a little bit earlier than intended. Or, perhaps its an unfortunate error with the wrong game being mentioned?
Shadow Warrior 3 was released in March of last year for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The over-the-top shooter did fairly well on the reviews front, though it wasn’t immune from all criticism, with some outlets taking shots at the game’s story, characters, and dialogue. Fans, on the other hand, were divided, and many were disappointed to see that Shadow Warrior 3 didn’t get a next-gen version for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
