Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 2 Adds The Witcher 3 Complete Edition, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and More

Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 2 is here, and it is exactly the kind of drop that reminds you why subscription services still matter in 2026. Microsoft’s second wave for late February into early March brings back one of the most celebrated RPGs ever made in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition, adds a major sports release via EA Play with EA Sports College Football 26, and caps things off with Kingdom Come: Deliverance II landing on March 3.

If you are the type of player who bounces between deep single-player worlds, co-op-friendly action, and “one more match” live-service sessions, this lineup is built to pull you in from multiple angles – and it also comes with a very practical reminder: a handful of notable games leave the service on February 28, so it’s a good week to clean up your backlog.

What is in Xbox Game Pass February 2026 Wave 2?

Microsoft’s Wave 2 slate covers February 19 through March 3, 2026, with additions spread across Cloud, Console, PC, and handheld-supported variants depending on the title and your tier. The headline is The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition arriving on February 19 (Cloud and Console), while Kingdom Come: Deliverance II closes the wave on March 3 (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC).

The big story: The Witcher 3 Complete Edition is back in the spotlight

The Witcher 3 showing up in Game Pass again would be “big” in any month, but the timing matters. February is already stacked for RPG fans, and Microsoft is clearly leaning into the idea that Game Pass can be a destination for long-form, prestige single-player experiences rather than just a buffet of indies and live-service staples.

CD PROJEKT RED has also put its stamp on the moment, confirming that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition hits Xbox Game Pass on February 19. This is the full package – the base game plus expansions – and if you have somehow missed it over the last decade, it remains one of the easiest recommendations in gaming: a dark fantasy world with a lived-in texture, quest design that respects your intelligence, and storytelling that still punches above its weight.

One important detail for PC players: Microsoft’s listing for this wave specifies Witcher 3 as Cloud and Console, so plan accordingly if you were hoping for a native PC Game Pass version.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II joins Game Pass on March 3

If The Witcher 3 is the legendary “known quantity,” Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is the wave’s momentum play – the newer, conversation-driving RPG that keeps Game Pass at the center of the discourse as we roll into March.

Microsoft has Kingdom Come: Deliverance II scheduled for March 3, 2026 across Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, positioning it as the wave’s finale and the most modern “I need to play this now” headline. Windows Central’s coverage underscores how significant this is for the service – and how aggressively Xbox is targeting RPG players right now.

If your taste runs more “mud, steel, and consequences” than “monsters and magic,” this is the anchor title to circle.

EA Sports College Football 26 arrives via EA Play, and Ultimate members get extras

Sports fans are not being ignored here. EA Sports College Football 26 is part of Wave 2 on February 19, and Microsoft notes it is available via EA Play for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. There’s also a time-limited perk window mentioned, alongside the usual EA digital purchase discount for members.

Even if you are not a dedicated college football player, the pattern is worth noticing: Microsoft keeps using Ultimate-tier perks and partner ecosystems to make Game Pass feel less like “just games” and more like a bundled platform.

Towerborne goes “Full Game Release” on February 26

Not every wave needs to be wall-to-wall blockbusters. Towerborne is positioned as a meaningful mid-wave pickup, shifting from preview status to a complete release on February 26 with added story content, more areas and enemies, balance changes, offline play, and optional online co-op.

For a lot of subscribers, this is the perfect “I want something fresh that respects my time” palate cleanser between 100-hour RPG commitments.

The rest of Wave 2: smaller drops that can surprise you

A good Game Pass wave usually has at least one “I did not expect to like this” game. This slate has multiple candidates:

Death Howl – pitched as a soulslike deck builder with a grief-driven story hook.
TCG Card Shop Simulator (Game Preview) – management sim energy with collecting and store-running loops.
Dice A Million – a day-one PC addition built around probability, buildcrafting, and pushing your luck.
Final Fantasy III – a classic RPG drop that will hit a very specific nostalgia nerve.

This is also where Wave 2 earns its “rich” label: even if you only care about the headliners, the supporting lineup gives you options that are mechanically and tonally different, which is exactly what a subscription catalog should do.

Don’t miss the exit list: games leaving February 28

Wave 2 is also a reminder to check the other side of the calendar. Microsoft lists the following games as leaving Game Pass on February 28:

Monster Train
Expeditions: A MudRunner Game
Injustice 2
Middle-earth: Shadow of War

If any of these are sitting in your “I’ll get to it later” pile, this is the week to either finish them or decide whether they are worth buying before they rotate out.

A quick play order if you want maximum value this week

If you are staring at your library and thinking “where do I even start,” here’s the cleanest route:

The Witcher 3 Complete Edition (Feb 19) if you want a guaranteed, premium single-player journey.
EA Sports College Football 26 (Feb 19) if you want something instantly playable in short sessions.
Towerborne (Feb 26) if you want co-op energy and a newer release feel without a massive time sink.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II (Mar 3) as the “next big thing” to carry you into March.

The bigger picture: Xbox is making RPG fans the main character of February

When you line up The Witcher 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance II in the same wave, it is not subtle. This is Microsoft signaling that Game Pass wants to be the default home for RPG discovery and long-form engagement – the genre that keeps players subscribed because the next “big commitment” is always around the corner.

Polygon’s read on the wave captures that broader framing as well: major role-playing drops are doing the heavy lifting for the month’s narrative.
