Remember them all Final Fantasy games Microsoft promised would come to Xbox Game Pass in 2019? Another finally shows up. Microsoft announced this morning Which Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is heading to the Netflix-like subscription service on console and PC on Feb. 11.
Long story short, Microsoft announced at its X019 fan event (remember?) That almost every modern Final Fantasy would come to Game Pass in the next 12 months. But the end of 2020 came and went, and many of them were still missing. A spokesperson reassured fans earlier this month that the lux JRPGs were still underway, and sure enough at least one of them is. Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age is one of the best in fact.
Of course it comes at the expense of Final Fantasy XV, the most recently numbered item in the series. Kotaku staff writer Ashley Parrish spent a week and switched marathon through to complete it before it left Game Pass before the end of January. The crockery is also missing Final Fantasy X / X-2 and the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy. The dream of having them all in the same cheap subscription service at the same time seems to be dead.
Still, there’s a lot of other stuff coming to Game Pass in the coming month. Here’s the full list:
- Spirit of a story, February 4 (PC)
- Project Winter, February 4 (Android, console and PC)
- The falconer, February 4 (Android, console and PC)
- Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age, February 11 (console and pc)
- Jurassic World Evolution, February 11 (Android and console)
- Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones, February 11 (Android and console)
- Wolfenstein: Youngblood, February 11 (Android)
Meanwhile, a number of other games on the service are getting touch control support so they can be played directly on smartphones when streamed on xCloud. Not the ideal way to play Enter The Gungeon or River City Girls, yet neat.
