Collage of upcoming Xbox games including Life is Strange Reunion and fantasy warriors

Xbox has revealed the lineup of new games arriving on the platform from March 23 to 27, 2026. The highlight is undoubtedly the return of Max and Chloe in Life is Strange: Reunion, but there's also a new Game Pass day-one release and several beloved franchises making their Xbox debut.

Life is Strange: Reunion — March 26

The saga of Max and Chloe continues in Life is Strange: Reunion. Chloe Price has come to Caledon University, haunted by nightmares and impossible memories. Meanwhile, Max is dealing with her own crisis: in three days, a deadly inferno will destroy the campus. Play as both Max and Chloe as the story builds toward an epic climax that will force devastating decisions about their future together. Available for $39.99 ($49.99 Deluxe).

Absolum — March 25 (Game Pass Day One)

The highlight for Game Pass subscribers is Absolum, a side-scrolling beat 'em up from the team that redefined the genre. It mixes top-tier combat action with modern roguelite elements in the original fantasy world of Talamh. Available day one on Game Pass.

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic — March 25

RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic brings the remastered combination of the original RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 to Xbox, complete with the Toolkit, Wacky Worlds, and Time Twister expansion packs. Created by franchise creator Chris Sawyer.

Icarus: Console Edition — March 26

From the creator of DayZ, Icarus drops you on a hostile alien planet broken by failed terraforming. Build shelter, craft weapons, hunt for food, and survive alone or with up to four players in this uncompromising PvE survival game.

Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection — March 26

The Mega Man Star Force series returns with seven games, a gallery of illustrations and music, and online play support. Pre-order bonuses include selectable character models and special music arrangements.

The Bottom Line

Life is Strange: Reunion is the main event here. The original Life is Strange was a cultural phenomenon, and bringing Max and Chloe back together is exactly what fans have been asking for. Absolum on Game Pass day one is a solid bonus, and RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic is pure nostalgia fuel. Not a bad week for Xbox.
