Fittingly keeping it short for the shortest month of the year, only three titles join Game Pass in February. As one Warhammer leaves, another steps in, a second EA Sports title joins the fray and dystopian London is yours to explore. Will you be checking these out as February comes to a close? Let us know in the comments!
Here is the trio of games in the Game Pass February second wave:

Strategically place your allies in turn-based grid combat, using their abilities and the environment to overpower foes. Tread the line between Puritan and Radical as your actions carry consequences. Do you serve the God-Emperor in all things? Do you embrace chaos? Or do you live by a code unique to you? Whatever your internal compass, your protectorate must be reclaimed!
Watch Dogs: Legion

Metacritic: 76 | OpenCritic: Fair
Available: Now (Cloud, console & PC)
Tiers: Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard
Released: 29th October 2020
Return to the high-risk life of hacker syndicate DedSec, this time on British soil. A direct sequel to Watch Dogs 2, you will take to the streets of London to clear DedSec’s name and wrest control of the city from military company Albion. Fight, sneak, and hack through different missions across nine iconic London boroughs. Recruit virtually any NPC to join DedSec and play as them upon completing recruitment missions. With each character you recruit, gain unique skills and perks to emerge victorious such as spy-grade weaponry or gangs of allies. Or if you play better with others, work as a team in up to 4-player co-op missions, city events and arenas to widen DedSec’s reach. The hidden fight for the capital begins now!
There we have it
Disappointing news for Standard tier players as no more additions are coming this month. The alternative Britain theme continues into March, however, with a much-anticipated day-one release already locked in. But this time it’s up North. And from your gal’s neck of the woods for a change. Aye, that’ll do nicely.
