Xbox Game Pass Surprises Fans With Spyro the Dragon Announcement

As a lifelong Spyro fan who grew up playing those iconic games on my dusty old PlayStation, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming release of Spyro Reignited Trilogy on Xbox Game Pass! The thought of being able to revisit those nostalgic worlds with updated graphics and modern sensibilities is beyond thrilling.


As a devoted Spyro the Dragon fan, I’m thrilled to share that we have something exciting to look forward to soon. Earlier today, Xbox hinted at it, and now they’ve made it official – the much-anticipated Spyro Reignited Trilogy is joining Xbox Game Pass! The grand day is just around the corner on November 12th. Whether you’re playing on console, PC, or Cloud, this announcement is music to our ears. If your subscription tier is higher than Game Pass Core, you’ll be able to relive the magic of the original Spyro, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon in their remastered glory.

The 2018 release, Spyro Reignited Trilogy, is a refreshed version of the initial three games from the series that were previously exclusive to the original PlayStation. This remaster expanded their accessibility to a broader group of gamers. Developed by Toys for Bob in collaboration with the original creator, Insomniac, Reignited Trilogy maintains the essence of the originals while incorporating some modifications and enhancements. The most significant improvement is undoubtedly the stunning graphic upgrade, featuring redesigned characters and more aesthetically pleasing environments. For long-time fans of the original games, the remasters retain the authentic feel but are infused with a touch of contemporary style.

Last year, the rights to the Spyro the Dragon series were acquired by Xbox, following its purchase of Activision Blizzard. Since then, Xbox Game Pass has been expanding its collection by incorporating more Activision titles such as Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy and various Call of Duty installments, with rumors suggesting that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 could soon follow. With a vast library of games at their disposal and some licensed games requiring additional work, it’s possible we’ll see many more Activision games join Xbox Game Pass in the coming months. Here’s hoping the floodgates open, bringing even more titles to the service!

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled about Toys for Bob’s recent decision to break free and operate independently following the Activision Blizzard acquisition. This newfound independence means they can choose their projects more freely, something that seemed challenging under Activision. Despite no longer being an Xbox-owned studio, it seems they maintain a strong rapport with Microsoft, as their upcoming game will be published by Xbox Game Studios. The internet is buzzing with speculation that this new project could revolve around Spyro the Dragon or Crash Bandicoot, given Toys for Bob’s clear affection for these characters, which are prominently featured on their website. For now, fans of these iconic series can look forward to seeing their existing games on Xbox Game Pass!
