Luckily for JRPG fans, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered isn't leaving Xbox Game Pass on March 15 as was previously announced. Earlier this month, Xbox released the Game Pass Wave 1 announcement. As usual, this announcement clued fans in on the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in March 2024, and it also highlighted the games that would be leaving the service this month as well.
Recently-Added Xbox Game Pass Game is a Big Hit

Brotato has been installed over a million times since its release on Xbox Game Pass. Many excellent games have been added to Xbox Game Pass in 2024, and Brotato was among the best surprises of these additions, considering it’s a low-budget indie title that managed to make an excellent impression among most of its players.
Brotato was added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate back on January 30. Essentially, Brotato is a top-down shooter roguelite title in which the player controls angry potatoes with guns who fight aliens. The characters can wield up to six weapons at a time and pick between several distinct traits and items to personalize their fighting style. The gameplay is similar to Vampire Survivors, as shooting is done automatically and the main goal is to avoid waves of enemies to survive for as long as possible.
Now, the developer Seaven Studio has confirmed that Brotato has been installed over a million times after its release on Xbox and Game Pass. The number seems to consider both people who played it with Game Pass and the ones who purchased it for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. Another significant detail is that the game’s popularity could be even bigger than the data shows, as only information about downloads was unveiled and Game Pass subscribers can play via xCloud without the need for any downloads. So, there are possibly many Brotato players that do not appear in the company’s install count.
This is far from the only surprise hit to appear on Game Pass this year, though. Released in early access back in January, Palworld has also been a huge hit on Game Pass. According to its developers, Palworld managed to reach 7 million players on Xbox. Unlike the arena shooter Brotato, though, Palworld is a survival game where players can capture and take care of their Pokemon-inspired Pals, create a base, and explore the wilds at their leisure while hunting or gathering materials.
2024 has been a good year for Game Pass. Aside from Brotato and Palworld, the subscription service received highly acclaimed games such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, Persona 3 Reload, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The year is just starting, though, and several other big games are coming to Game Pass in the future, including games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Stalker 2, Avowed, and the eagerly awaited Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
