Xbox Game Pass subscribers can look forward to the addition of two more games coming this year in the form of Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2and Lords of the Fallen. It's been a big couple of weeks for Xbox Game Pass users, as last year's hit action adventure masterpiece Star Wars Jedi: Survivor just recently landed on the Ultimate tier of the service.

It's since been patched up and has received its final Master of Fate content update.

Now, in a Polish report on Bankier.pl, CI Games has confirmed the recent rumors of Lords of the Fallen and Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 landing on Game Pass at some point this year. The report states that the agreement was signed with Xbox just a few days ago, on May 3.

Additionally, this is a great move by CI Games to get more eyes on its lesser-known Sniper franchise.

While both games are now confirmed to arrive on Xbox Game Pass at some point in 2024, CI Games' document made no mention of a targeted timeframe for release. Furthermore, Xbox Game Pass' Twitter account has yet to formally acknowledge the arrival of the games as well. With that, it'll likely be a few
