Xbox Game Pass adds 2024 games with "overwhelmingly positive" reviews

Xbox Game Pass have added TCG Card Shop Simulator to his library. This is the 19th new title to join the service in February 2026 and the 37th Xbox Game Pass release since the start of the year.

Developed by OPNeon Games, a one-man studio in Malaysia, TCG Card Shop Simulator originally launched in early access in September 2024. Since then, it has amassed over 31,000 “Overwhelmingly Positive” user reviews on Steam, establishing itself as one of the top-rated simulation games of 2024. Its timed PC exclusivity officially ended earlier today, February 24, when the Xbox OneS game launched for the Xbox Series and Xbox OneS.

The latest Xbox Game Pass catalog update brings 3 titles, including one of the most universally loved open-world RPGs ever.

Xbox Game Pass launch crashes TCG Card Shop Simulator servers

As previously promised, the console versions of the TCG Card Shop Simulator arrived alongside the game's Xbox Game Pass launch. The latest Game Pass listing on Xbox Wire only lists the title for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and cloud, but its Xbox Store page says it's also available on Xbox One. Microsoft's subscription service has already driven a significant increase in player numbers, causing the game's servers to go down on February 24th. The connection was restored as of 2:44 a.m. ET, according to OPNeon Games.

Based on its Steam reviews, TCG Card Shop Simulator seems poised to bolster the range of simulation games available on Microsoft's subscription service. Many players praise the game for delivering a low-stress shopping experience that feels both cozy and addictive. Several top-rated reviews also highlight its humor, noting that it takes into account buying habits and customer behavior with card games. Mod support has received widespread praise from Steam users, although that feature is not available for Xbox console players.

Two more titles are confirmed to come to Xbox Game Pass before the end of February 2026. The first of them is Dice one milliona deck-building roguelite scheduled to arrive tomorrow, February 25, but only for PC. The 1.0 release of the Towerborne will follow a day later, roughly ten months after its debut in Game Preview for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. As is often the case, the 1.0 release will also see Towerborne expand to the Premium level of the service.
