Is The First Berserker: Khazan on Xbox Game Pass?
The hype is real for The First Berserker: Khazan, a Soulslike ARPG launching March 27th. Many are wondering if this stylish, Berserk-inspired title will be available on Xbox Game Pass. The short answer? Unfortunately, no. At launch, The First Berserker: Khazan will require a full purchase.
No Game Pass at Launch, But Hope Remains
While disappointing for Game Pass subscribers, the absence from the service at launch doesn't entirely close the door. Many third-party titles join Xbox Game Pass months after their initial release. This often happens after the initial sales period has subsided. While there's no guarantee, it's definitely possible The First Berserker could find its way onto Game Pass sometime in 2025. Keep your eyes peeled!
Alternatives to Game Pass
If you're eager to play immediately, consider purchasing The First Berserker: Khazan directly. CDKeys currently offers a discount on the PC version, reducing the price to $46.79 instead of the full $59.99. The Deluxe Edition is also discounted to $53.29, offering early access and exclusive cosmetic items.
Xbox Game Pass: A Popular Choice for Soulslike Fans
The popularity of Xbox Game Pass is undeniable, especially among fans of the Soulslike genre. Many critically acclaimed ARPGs, including recent hits like Elden Ring and Armored Core VI, are available through the service. This makes the current absence of The First Berserker even more noticeable, but it doesn't diminish the game's potential. The game's positive early reviews indicate it's worth considering, regardless of Game Pass availability.
Conclusion: Keep Your Hopes Up
While The First Berserker: Khazan isn't on Xbox Game Pass at launch, the possibility of future inclusion remains. In the meantime, there are attractive discounts available through third-party retailers. Whether you choose to subscribe to Game Pass or purchase the game outright, prepare for an intense Soulslike experience inspired by the dark fantasy world of Berserk.
