Xbox Game Pass subscribers now gain access to a brand-new title launched exclusively on Xbox Series X, meaning it cannot be found on PS5 or Nintendo Switch, including the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Currently, the game is playable only on PC and Xbox Series X platforms. However, whether this exclusivity will continue in the future is uncertain; for now, it seems Microsoft has secured both its launch on Xbox Game Pass at release and an exclusive or timed-exclusive deal for the game on these platforms.
The game seems to be quite excellent, backed up by its Metacritic score of 86, ranking it among the top 20 highest-rated games of 2025. Additionally, it boasts high ratings from users. For instance, on Steam, it currently holds a 92% approval rating based on 4,713 user reviews.
The latest Xbox Game Pass title under discussion is “Back to the Dawn,” developed by Metal Head Games and published by Spiral Up Games. This is their debut RPG game, and so far, it’s making a strong first impression. We don’t know how well the game is selling or how many Xbox Game Pass members are playing it, but it has been receiving positive reviews.
This game description can be rephrased as: “Experience a captivating role-playing game set in a maximum security prison, filled with criminal underpinnings, government corruption, and secretive motives. As a new arrival, you’ll need to battle for survival, solve mysteries, and ultimately engineer an escape before the clock runs out. Discover a plot that imperils not just your life but could also bring down an entire city. In this pulse-pounding journey, your decisions hold weight, and freedom is your last hope!
The duration for which “Back to the Dawn” will be accessible on Xbox Game Pass hasn’t been disclosed yet by Microsoft. However, at this moment, having it in the subscription service is saving Xbox Game Pass subscribers $20. If you wish to own it permanently after its departure from the subscription service, you can save $4 with a 20% discount that is exclusively available for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
It’s important to mention that this new game is exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. If you have a premium subscription with Microsoft, you can look forward to an RPG experience that typically lasts between 20 and 30 hours. However, for those who like to achieve 100% completion, expect to spend around 60 hours playing the game on Xbox Game Pass.
