Ninja Gaiden 4 and Evil West at the moment are playable through Xbox Recreation Move. These are the 57th and 58th new additions to the PC and Final tiers of Microsoft’s subscription service in October 2025, with Evil West being uncommon in that it arrived on Xbox Game Pass a bit sooner than initially introduced.
Ninja Gaiden 4 was a confirmed day-one Xbox Game Pass release from the second Group Ninja and PlatinumGames revealed it in January 2025. Printed by Xbox Recreation Studios, the most recent installment within the hardcore motion franchise locked down an October 21 launch date again in June.
Ninja Gaiden 4 Lands on Xbox Recreation Move as Deliberate, Evil West Is Right here Early
As is usually the case with international AAA launches, Ninja Gaiden 4 became available in the United States a number of hours forward of its official debut date, at 5pm PDT / 8pm EDT on October 20. That is additionally when it rolled out to eligible Xbox Recreation Move subscribers the world over. In a extra surprising flip of occasions, Flying Wild Hog’s sci-fi western Evil West reached Microsoft’s subscription service at the very same time. Sometimes, non-day-one titles are added to Xbox Recreation Move between midnight and 11am EDT, and Evil West was initially introduced to be dropping on October 21 somewhat than 20. Granted, it was already October 21 on over half the planet by the point it debuted, so its arrival is simply barely early.
When Will Ninja Gaiden 4 Come to Xbox Recreation Move Premium?
As a day-one launch, Ninja Gaiden 4 is limited to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Recreation Move. Customers paying for XGP Premium—which changed XGP Commonplace on October 1—can anticipate to see it added to their subscription library no later than October 2026, primarily based on what Microsoft mentioned when it final revamped its membership tiers. And if the discharge cadence of the now-retired XGP Commonplace subscription is any indication, Ninja Gaiden 4 may attain XGP Premium as early as April 2026.
Other than arriving sooner than anticipated, Evil West can be uncommon for being a returning title that was barely absent from the service. It initially joined Xbox Game Pass in March 2024 and left in mid-March 2025. Seven months between removing and return is a reasonably brief hole, suggesting Evil West could have had a robust preliminary run that satisfied Microsoft and/or writer Focus Leisure to shortly re-license it. Alternatively or moreover, its return could also be aimed toward strengthening the lineup of spooky titles on Xbox Recreation Move forward of Halloween.
