One of the most enticing benefits of Xbox Game Pass is the ability to play new games on launch day without shelling out the money for every individual release. But just as important is the way that it makes games you may have originally missed available again, and the next addition to that category is a big one. As of November 12, the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is now part of Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft posted a cheeky quasi-announcement for Spyro Reignited Trilogy late on November 11, consisting solely of a short video of a treasure chest from the game. Shortly after, it was made official, with Xbox Wire announcing the trilogy’s November 12 release date. The package includes remakes of Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, which were originally released between 1998 and 2000. Now that Microsoft has trimmed down Game Pass to include new releases only for its highest (read: most expensive) tier, drops like this classic platforming series are especially impactful for those on the standard tier.
