February's next Xbox Game Pass additions detailed

Total War: Warhammer 3! Alice! Lawn Mowing! Madden!

Microsoft has detailed its Xbox Game Pass additions for the second half of February, including the highly-anticipated launch of Total War: Warhammer 3 on PC, available through Game Pass on day one.

It's a PC-heavy couple of weeks, with the arrival of Alice: Madness Returns via EA Play, Galactic Civilisations 3 and Robo Quest for PC, too.

Console owners can get sporty with Madden 22 via EA Play and Super Mega Baseball 3 - plus Lawn Mowing Simulator on Xbox One, which should be a sport.

Finally, the brilliant Mass Effect: Legendary Edition also turns up on cloud, so you can calibrate your conversations with everyone's favourite turian wherever you go.

Speaking of cloud, six more games now have touch controls: Dreamscaper, Firewatch, Lake, The Pedestrian, plus Yakuza 3 Remastered and Yakuza 4 Remastered.

Leaving Xbox Game Pass at the end of the month are Hypnospace Outlaw, Killer Queen Black, Stealth Inc 2 and Touhou Luna Nights. On 1st March, the original Titanfall will be removed from EA Play, following its delisting from digital stores back in December.
