Key Takeaways

- The beloved remake trio is expected to be available across all non-Core tiers of Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass is adding Spyro Reignited Trilogy to its ever-growing content library, Microsoft has announced. This beloved trio of remakes promises to bolster the selection of high-quality platformers on Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft has owned the Spyro IP since acquiring Activision Blizzard in October 2023. And while some fans hoped Spyro Reignited Trilogy would immediately join the company’s subscription service as a result of the acquisition, Microsoft said it needed time to prep the Activision Blizzard catalog for Xbox Game Pass.

The critically acclaimed trio is now finally confirmed to be coming to Microsoft’s subscription catalog, with the company just announcing that Spyro Reignited Trilogy will reach Xbox Game Pass on Tuesday, November 12. Since this collection of remakes is not a day-one release, it’s expected to be available across all non-Core tiers of the service. Microsoft has yet to clarify whether Spyro Reignited Trilogy will launch with Xbox Cloud Gaming support, though the company’s track record with XGP releases suggests that’s likely to be the case.
Xbox Game Pass Will Soon Have 12 Activision Blizzard Games
Since this trilogy counts as three games, its arrival will bring the total number of Activision Blizzard titles on Xbox Game Pass to 12. Microsoft’s subscription service previously added Diablo 4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (which also counts as three), Overwatch 2, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, in that order. Most recently, StarCraft: Remastered and StarCraft 2: Campaign Collection reached PC Game Pass on November 5. The Activision Blizzard library still has plenty of popular titles that are yet to make the jump to Xbox Game Pass, including Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and the pre-2023 Call of Duty installments.
As for the arrival at hand, Spyro Reignited Trilogy promises to be a major boon to the selection of great platformers on Xbox Game Pass. The Toys For Bob-developed remake trio originally debuted in late 2018 to excellent reviews, as underlined by its “Strong” OpenCritic rating, derived from an average score of 81 and an 84% reviewer recommendation rate.
