Game Pass subscribers are in for a treat this March with the addition of seven exciting titles including "MLB The Show 24" and "Control Ultimate Edition." Kicking things off is "Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun," launching today, and offering a retro FPS experience as a Space Marine. This month features a mix of genres, from children's adventure game "PAW Patrol World" to the cult classic "SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated." Fans of action-adventure can enjoy "Control Ultimate Edition" with all its expansions, while "No More Heroes 3" brings hack-and-slash gameplay to the service. The open-world farming adventure "Lightyear Frontier" is arriving on day one for Game Preview, and "MLB The Show 24," the highly anticipated baseball title, hits Game Pass with the ability for players to create female ballplayers. However, as these new options arrive, some games including "Hardspace: Shipbreaker," "Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered," and "Shredders" will be leaving the platform. For those looking to continue playing, Game Pass members can get these titles at a discount before they're gone.

What new games are coming to Game Pass this March?

"MLB The Show" is a long-standing and highly revered baseball video game series that typically releases annual installments.

With "MLB The Show 24" offering the ability to create female players for the first time, it's an inclusive step forward for the series and a noteworthy update for fans of the franchise.

"Control Ultimate Edition" is developed by Remedy Entertainment, known for their story-driven and visually striking titles.

Its Ultimate Edition includes the main game and all released expansions, providing a complete package for new and returning players.

"No More Heroes 3" is the latest entry in the series created by Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51. It's an action game with a blend of slicing enemies with beam katanas and zany mini-games. Known for its offbeat humor and meta-references, this series has cultivated a cult following. Its addition to Game Pass grants it exposure to a wider audience that might be curious about Suda51's unique style.
