[Updated ]: Surprise number six! Shortly after yesterday’s broadcast wrapped, it was revealed that Denshattack! will ride straight onto Xbox Game Pass at its launch next spring 2026.
We’ve folded the new intel into the summary beneath.
First Report: The Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 showcase delivered five fresh Xbox Game Pass reveals in total. Three came from first-party projects on the horizon, while two arrived as genuine bolt-from-the-blue shockers!
We never saw coming the appearance of the long-gestating sci-fi chiller ROUTINE, finally locked into a late-2025 launch window, or the sequel everyone was craving, Moonlighter 2—hitting PC early access this October (available through PC Game Pass) ahead of a still-unannounced console date.
Below you’ll find the breakdown of every Xbox Game Pass game that graced today’s Gamescom stage:
ROUTINE — Release Window Trailer (Late 2025)
ROUTINE plunges players into a first-person, retro-futuristic sci-fi horror adventure set within a derelict lunar station. Quiet investigation spirals into frantic survival after the base falls eerily silent. Desperate digging for truth pits you against a deadly foe convinced you are the ultimate danger. Each answer births new mysteries, and the lone path remains forward.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — Gameplay Reveal Trailer (14 Nov 2025)

Moonlighter 2 — Early Access Date Reveal Trailer (23 Oct 2025 on PC Game Pass, Console TBD)
Just as Will’s tale demanded patience, forging Moonlighter 2 into its ultimate shape will take more time. That’s why we’re opening the gates early.
