It's another Game Pass day on this fine Tuesday morning of March 29th! Today, just one game arrives in the library, but it's quite a big one in the form of Crusader Kings 3, making its console debut.
After a year and a half on PC, this one finally makes its way to Xbox Series X and S (there's no Xbox One version as far as we know). It sounds like quite a lot of work had to go into translating the game to console, and it's finally here!
Keep in mind that if you want the play the game on Xbox One (or a mobile device), the game is cloud-enabled with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as well.
Here's a quick rundown from the developer on what to expect from Crusader Kings 3 on console:
Choose your noble house and lead your dynasty to greatness in a Middle Ages epic that spans generations. War is but one of many tools to establish your reign, as real strategy requires expert diplomatic skill, mastery of your realm, and true cunning. Crusader Kings III continues the popular series made by Paradox Development Studio, featuring the widely acclaimed marriage of immersive grand strategy and deep, dramatic medieval roleplaying.
Will you be checking this one out on Xbox Game Pass? Let us know in the comments.

Can't wait to play this later today.
Have a lot of work to get through first though.
Hope it's worth the wait. When's a review coming?
I totally forgot about this cant wait to try it later.
21.30 in Australia and I keep trying to open the game, still nothing. Looks like I'll have to wait until after work tomorrow 😔
This is bad. Now I have Elden Ring, Football Manager Xbox 2022, and now Crusader Kings on my list of games to play simultaneously. How will I cope?!
@NickramCTID game pass games usually go live about 6:30 to 7 pm UK time
Don't know what time that works out at there
@Nic-Noc20th-C It's awesome on Gamepass PC, so hopefully it runs just as well. Have fun, it's such a fun game.
@Phantom_Anima Exact games I'm playing haha...on top of numerous other games I do tend to return to ...to finish ....arghhh to many games
Is there 100% a port coming for xbox one? Every other article i have seen has said its only xbox series consoles.
I am so excited to try this on console 😃
Urgh it's controller only, was really hoping my mouse and keyboard would work for it but it doesn't recognise either.
Guess will give the controller a go and see how well they've adapted it...
@Mclemwan Apologies, it was a mistake in the article. There's no confirmed Xbox One version for the time being...
@Mclemwan It says in the description of the game on the store "Coming to next gen consoles" (paraphrased). Doesn't sound like there is any plan to put it on Xbone. Just look at a game like Civ Rev. I think the cpu can't handle it, even though they're graphically not very intense.
@CunningPig @FraserG gutted, been excited about this for a while. Still hope all the series console players enjoy the game. Might be time to upgrade the one
@StylesT my long lost twin haha! I need to stop starting/restarting games when I have too many to finish but I just can't help myself.
This game is pretty good I wonder how the control s will work Paradox well the studio paradox hired did a really good job with stellaris console edition. I probably wont play this on xbox i have about 300 hours in on the pc.
@FraserG For Xbox one players if you search for the game via the store you can play it via cloud gaming 😍
@Mclemwan Yep we've added that to the article now as well Glad you could find a way to play it!
A game that works well on the cloud too I'd imagine.
@Mclemwan Cool you found it on cloud. Just came on to tell you I saw it while on the app. I would guess this is a good one to play via cloud too, due to the nature of its gameplay.
@CunningPig appreciate you coming to tell me bro, its so good i haven't stopped playing it and its now 5:20am i have work at 4pm 😂. Clouds been pretty good as well tbf, had a little moment earlier where the screen went all glitchy but a quick reboot sorted it out and its been fine since
@Mclemwan I just started playing after dinner. First time with this series so I've spent nearly an hour just looking at tooltips in the tutorial lol.
I do the same thing on wikipedia haha. I'll just keep following links forever.
Great they optimised the game for controller, but like @Widey85 I would really have liked the option of mouse and keyboard for the Xbox.
