Will Tekken 8 Join Xbox Game Pass?

The burning question on every gamer’s mind is whether Tekken 8 will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Unfortunately, as it stands, Tekken 8 will not grace the Game Pass library immediately upon its release. This means that, for now, the only way to experience the latest chapter in the Tekken saga is through a one-time purchase.

However, there’s a glimmer of hope. The Xbox Game Pass is renowned for its ever-expanding library, often adding titles that initially launched with a price tag similar to Tekken 8. There’s a possibility that Tekken 8 might join the Game Pass lineup in the future, once the initial launch excitement has simmered down.
