Xbox Game Pass users can now play Shadow of the Tomb Raider as part of their subscription. The critically acclaimed action adventure is the ninth title to reach Xbox Game Pass in April 2024, and the 50th since the turn of the year.
Released in 2018, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third entry in the Tomb Raider Survivor trilogy. Both its PC and Xbox versions debuted to a great critical reception, as underlined by their Metacritic Metascores of 77 and 82, respectively. The PC port also boasts over 55,000 «Very Positive» user reviews on Steam.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has now joined Microsoft's subscription library for the first time ever on April 11. While it's common to see publishers only bring base editions of their games to Xbox Game Pass in hopes of boosting their DLC sales, that hasn't been the case here. Specifically, Xbox Game Pass members have received access to the Definitive Edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which comes with all of its post-launch content. Even without the DLC, this is still one of the longest Tomb Raider games ever made.
