The console market once lacked robust strategy game options, with few exceptions and unsuccessful attempts (like StarCraft's awkward Nintendo 64 debut). However, numerous titles now bring intricate strategic gameplay to living room consoles, especially on Xbox.
Xbox Game Pass offers a compelling selection for armchair commanders. Whether you prefer managing vast galactic empires or directing quirky invertebrate bomb-slingers, Game Pass caters to diverse strategic tastes.
Tactical games, while technically a separate genre, are included due to their strategic similarities.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The new year brings anticipation for 2025's gaming landscape. Xbox Game Pass appears poised for success, building on a strong 2024 finish. While often less publicized, new strategy games are expected on the service, with a couple confirmed. Commandos: Origins and Football Manager 25 are potential additions, particularly the former. Meanwhile, subscribers can explore a strategy game added in December 2024. See details below.
