Update: It's now been confirmed that Valheim will be heading to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S as part of Xbox Game Pass on March 14th, 2023! You can check out the brand-new trailer down below.
Original story: Xbox Game Pass for 2023 is already looking pretty stacked, with Xbox Game Studios and more bringing plenty of titles to the service this calendar year. Much of the lineup is still in the "TBD" stage, however two upcoming titles have just got brand-new release windows for the first half of 2023.
Valheim, the early access Viking survival game, is aiming for a March 2023 release on Xbox Game Pass. The title is already a part of PC Game Pass in its current preview form, so we're expecting this one to arrive on console via 'Xbox Game Preview' as well. Once we hear of a nailed on console release date we'll of course let you know, but for now, March 2023 it is!
(Update: Valheim is now March 14th for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, as confirmed above).
The following month, Homestead Arcana is set to come to the Game Pass library. Currently, the game's April 2023 release is only confirmed for PC, but a console version is coming to Game Pass at some stage. Hopefully the team provides a bit more information on the console version in the near future.
Official March & April Xbox Game Pass roundups from Microsoft won't be too far off at this point, so we should get a clearer picture of how the next two months are shaping up in the coming weeks. For now, we know that Valheim and Homestead Arcana will be slotting in nicely to the first half of 2023 on Xbox Game Pass.
Are you looking forward to playing either of these titles? Let us know down below!

Valheim sounds interesting but it also sounds a bit tough too.
Awesome. Looking forward to both.
I normally hate survival games, but valheim seems to have a vibe I really want to experience and Ive been patiently awaiting the console release. Why I havent tried it already on PC is anyones guess! 😂
Homestead Arcana is facing two problems in my house or I might have given it a try. It does look like a straight to GP indie game though...
1. Harry Potter has a suprisingly good crafting growing nuturing system, so im not missing that gameplay loop.
2. PS premium just dropped the wonderfull ps1 version of Harvest Moon, which has some happy memories for me, so im likely to pick that up if I want to farm.
I hope it does ok though.
I thought this was going to be about Benedict Fox.... I really liked the demo they just released on Steam. It feels polished and I feel like they said it will be ready early Summer.
Valhiem was such a buzz game for PC last year. I am actually really looking forward to giving it a go.
Survival games are always very hit or miss with me. They are very much something that you have to go all in on to make them worth it and fun.
Game Pass is the best, Haters really need to STFU and just get an Xbox or actually get a proper PC that they lie about having haha
I have sunk so many hours on Valheim despite not being a fan of playing on PC.
Really looking for it to arrive on Xbox, with achievement support. Also, hoping it launches at the same time as the Land of the Dead update!
@ParsnipHero it can be tough, and it can be very easy. Sometimes it’s about luck, others about preparation. Learning to use the environment to your advantage is key for success in the game (and never forget you can modify the environment.)
