Surprise New Xbox Game Pass Game Confirmed for March 11

Xbox Game Pass has confirmed that NBA 2K24 is coming to the subscription service on March 11. Most of the time, Xbox Game Pass reveals games coming to the lineup in batches, which makes this reveal of a single new game addition all the more surprising.
The Xbox Game Pass March 2024 Wave 1 announcement took place earlier this week, with Xbox using the opportunity to highlight 7 games that are coming to the service in March 2024. The highlighted games included Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun and PAW Patrol World, both of which are available now, March 12's SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom — Rehydrated, March 13's Control: Ultimate Edition, and March 14's No More Heroes 3. Lightyear Frontier and MLB The Show 24 were also part of the announcement, with both of those games coming to Game Pass on March 19.
The Xbox Game Pass March 2024 lineup was already stacked, but now subscribers have yet another game to add to the list. In a surprise announcement seemingly out of nowhere, the official Xbox Game Pass Twitter account announced that NBA 2K24 is coming to the service on March 11. Platform specifics weren't mentioned in the announcement post, but fans can expect the game to be playable on Xbox consoles at the very least, with a high probability that the PC release will be playable as well.
NBA 2K24 is the latest installment in the blockbuster basketball franchise from 2K. The NBA 2K series is easily one of the most popular sports series there is, though NBA 2K24 was not exactly well-received. Whereas past NBA 2K games were critically-acclaimed, NBA 2K24 reviews were decidedly more mixed, with many of the complaints targeted at its lack of meaningful updates and its continued use of heavy microtransactions.
NBA 2K24 microtransactions may be easier to stomach on Xbox Game Pass since subscribers don't have to buy the game at full price only to get bombarded with in-game purchases. Regardless, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to make up their own minds about NBA 2K24 when the game joins the lineup on March 11.
There will be even more Xbox Game Pass announcements to look forward to later this month. The Wave 2 announcement will reveal all the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass in the second half of the month, though two have already been confirmed. Barring any delays, both Diablo 4 and day one game Open Roads are coming to Xbox Game Pass on March 28.
The website gametalkz.com is an aggregator of news from open sources. The source is indicated at the beginning and at the end of the announcement. You can send a complaint on the news if you find it unreliable.
