AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Xbox Game Pass is adding Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, and Madden NFL 26 to its subscription library in February 2026, as reported by Polygon.
Xbox Game Pass is keeping its momentum going following a strong January lineup, rolling out a fresh wave of AAA titles and indies for the first half of February. According to a report by Polygon, subscribers can look forward to major drops like Massive Entertainment's open-world adventure Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and the delightfully chaotic Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. These additions give players plenty of high-profile content to dive into across console, PC, and cloud streaming.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora arrives on the service on February 17, giving players a fresh chance to explore the Na'vi homeworld. While the game originally launched as a first-person experience, recent updates have introduced a third-person mode that significantly alters how the open world feels to navigate. Meanwhile, Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is already live on the service, bringing amnesiac fan favorite Goro Majima to the high seas for naval battles and minigame mayhem.
On the sports front, subscribers should note a swap on the roster as Madden NFL 24 departs the service on February 15. Fortunately, football fans will not be left high and dry, because Madden NFL 26 arrives later in the week to keep the digital gridiron active. As subscription libraries continue to act as the primary way many players sample major releases without committing to full purchases, these mid-month refreshes remain essential for keeping communities engaged across platforms.
