Is Mistfall Hunter on Xbox Game Pass?

Yes. Mistfall Hunter is a Day One Xbox Game Pass release. It joined the service on July 29, 2026, the same day the game launched everywhere else. Microsoft’s Xbox Wire launch post confirmed the game “officially launched yesterday, July 29, at 6:00 PM PT across Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC, arriving as a Day One release with Xbox Game Pass.” The Game Pass inclusion was announced earlier, at the Spring ID@Xbox Showcase in April 2026, per TechTimes.

Which Game Pass Platforms and Tiers?

Mistfall Hunter is available on Game Pass across three surfaces:

Xbox Series X|S — console.
Xbox on PC — through the Xbox app for Windows / PC Game Pass.
Cloud gaming — streamable through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

On the subscription side, the picture is consistent across coverage even though the tier names vary: Pure Xbox reported the game available “for Series X|S, PC, and Cloud across the Premium, Ultimate and PC tiers,” while GameRant’s Game Pass roundup described it as “currently limited to XGP Ultimate and PC Game Pass.” The Microsoft Store listing lists it as included in PC Game Pass and the Ultimate tier. The practical answer: the top Game Pass tier and PC Game Pass include the game on day one. GameRant also noted it was the service’s ninth day-one addition of July 2026.

What Do Game Pass Subscribers Get?

Day One access at no extra cost — install and play the full game from launch without buying it. Bellring Games told GamingBolt that going Day One on Game Pass was deliberate: for an extraction game, “community size, matchmaking pool quality, and the diversity of classes and playstyles you run into all directly shape the player experience,” and a subscription launch builds that community from the first day.
Xbox Play Anywhere — a single purchase or Game Pass license covers both Xbox console and Windows PC, with progress, saves, and achievements carrying between the two. This cross-progression applies within the Xbox ecosystem only; Steam and PS5 saves do not sync.
Full crossplay — Game Pass versions share the same cross-platform player pool as Steam and PS5, so subscribers can squad up with friends on any platform.

Can You Play It on Cloud?

Yes. The Xbox Store lists Mistfall Hunter as “cloud playable game included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.” On Game Pass Essential or Premium tiers, streaming the game instead requires a separate purchase, per the store’s cloud-gaming note.

What If You’re Not a Subscriber?

If you don’t have Game Pass, Mistfall Hunter is a paid game:

Standard Edition — $24.99 (10% launch discount brings it to $22.49 until August 12, 2026).
Deluxe Edition — $39.99 ($35.99 with the discount), adding cosmetics and 2,500 Fate Coins.

You do not need a Game Pass subscription to own the game. One requirement to note: online multiplayer on Xbox console requires a Game Pass Core or Ultimate subscription, sold separately, as stated on the Xbox Store listing.

Is It on PlayStation Plus?

No. Unlike Game Pass, Mistfall Hunter is not included with PlayStation Plus at launch, so there is no equivalent day-one deal for PS5 subscribers — the Game Pass route is the only subscription path.
