Okay, so, last week Tales of Arise seemed to be included in this month's Xbox Game Pass lineup - only for it to be removed shortly after Microsoft posted its latest roundup. At the time, the team described Tales of Arise as an "incorrect title" for Game Pass, however, it's now been announced once again for the service.
This time, the Tales series' official Twitter account has revealed that the 2021 JRPG is coming to Xbox Game Pass on February 20th. This announcement has also been reiterated by the official Xbox Japan page - further confirming its legitimacy.
We should get Microsoft's next Xbox Game Pass roundup this coming Tuesday, where we'd expect Tales of Arise to be included as an 'available today' style announcement on Feb. 20th. We'll be keeping an eye on the roundup as per usual to bring you all of the latest Xbox Game Pass news.
Considering fellow Game Pass title Return to Grace was included in the last roundup for the very same launch of Feb. 20th, we're a little confused by this whole Tales of Arise situation, but all should be cleared up next week.
Will you be playing Tales of Arise when it eventually lands on Xbox Game Pass? Tell us what you think of this strange development down below.

Phew was thinking they'd lost out to PS Plus again like they did with Hot Wheels Unleashed - and we'd have to wait 6 months for it again.
Glad it's coming, will definitely give it a try - think I liked the demo before
Might have to pick up the pace on Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. 48 hrs in and only about halfway.
Great news. I'll be playing it on PS Plus (as I only have pleb XSS), but it's a way bigger addition/better game then it is getting credit for.
Nice! A great addition and my personal backlog keeps growing….
@FarmDog08 I finished at 93 hours, and still have the Sujimon to finish off and the last 4 substories.
Then it was leaked ahead of time. It's worth buying, so even more playing it on Game Pass.
@abe_hikura I'm still on Chapter 7. I've done about 20 substories, but I've just been running around and plowing through the Hawaiian Haunt. I'm way overpowered and probably just need to move on some more. Ichi is lvl 42 and everyone else is at least 38. I'm on the third run of Hawaiian Haunt and want to finish that first.
It’s a good game, for me it got a little repetitive towards the end, and a lot of cutscenes. But with the dlc recently released it’s a good time to jump in.
I just resubbed to game pass because guys wanted to test Darktide (loved it, btw). But know I think I must at least play Persona 3 and this.
Really looking forward to this one!
With this, P5 Tactica, P3R, and Eiyuden Chronicles 100 Heroes (upcoming), now is a great time for JRPG fans on gamepass!
