Will Halloween: The Game Be On XBOX Game Pass?

Halloween: The Game is edging ever closer to release, and as has become customary in modern gaming, questions about Game Pass inclusion are rising, and we’ve got the answer.

The IllFonic title offers both a standalone single-player adventure in control of Mike Myers, alongside multiplayer that pits survivors up against another player controlling the iconic slasher in Halloween: The Game.

If you want to know whether your XBOX Game Pass subscription provides access to Halloween: The Game, Insider Gaming has all the important details.

Will Halloween: The Game be on XBOX Game Pass at Launch?

No, Halloween: The Game will not be available as a day-one title on XBOX Game Pass at launch, and full purchase is required to play.

As Halloween: The Game is not a first-party Microsoft title, Game Pass inclusion is not standard, and there has been no official announcement indicating it will land on the service at launch.

Had a Game Pass launch been on the horizon, it would have been confirmed by now and would have likely been heavily advertised by XBOX ahead of launch.

Instead, you’ll have to splash out to purchase Halloween: The Game if you want to play at launch, as it’s highly unlikely the situation is changing.

Will XBOX Game Pass Add Halloween: The Game?

There’s no news about a potential Game Pass addition of Halloween: The Game in future, but it cannot be ruled out entirely.

XBOX Game Pass adds new titles on a monthly basis and, alongside a slew of day-one releases, an array of already-released titles are regularly added to the service.

Further down the line, there’s every chance that Halloween: The Game could be added to XBOX Game Pass, especially as developer IllFonic has teamed up with XBOX to offer free-play dates for titles like Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed in the past.

This is merely speculation at this point, however, and the only known way to play Halloween: The Game for the foreseeable future is to purchase it outright.
