With everything raising in price drastically in recent years, having subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass can be an absolute godsend. A library of games in the palm of your hand for one small monthly fee is certainly helping a ton of players out - especially when many are added on the day they launch.

Coupled in with Microsoft’s acquisition of many gaming companies such as Bethesda and Activision, it’s never been a better time to dive in. One of Xbox’s first-party developers now consists of Mojang Studios, the team behind the Minecraft franchise. With the impending release of Minecraft Legends arriving, it would make sense for it to also join Xbox Game Pass.

If you’re curious as to whether the game will be on the service, here is all you need to know in this Minecraft Legends Xbox Game Pass guide.

Luckily, Minecraft Legends will be arriving on Xbox Game Pass on the day it launches - April 18 to be exact. That means if you’re apprehensive as to whether you’ll enjoy the game, this will be the perfect opportunity to try it out. It’s even available to pre-load now on your console or PC.

Minecraft Legends is a unique spin on the original game. Instead of giving players direct control of the world, this time around, you will be able to strategically command battles - both offline and online.

Similarly to Minecraft Dungeons, which was released a few years back, it’s aiming to do something different. But with change comes a lot of reservations, especially when the game is attempting something entirely different. As a result, Xbox Game Pass is a perfect opportunity to test it out and decipher whether it’s for you or not.

If you don’t have Xbox Game Pass, you can still purchase the game on Xbox, along with many other systems it’s arriving to, including PlayStation and Nintendo. Minecraft Legends has the potential to be a sleeper hit when it arrives in a few weeks, and there’s no excuse for you to not check it out.

That's all you need to know for now from this Minecraft Legends Xbox Gamepass guide.
