Age of Mythology: Retold brings back many fond memories for strategy gamers among us. The classic RTS game has received a facelift, along with several balance and quality of life changes. Coming from Microsoft, many would expect the game to feature on Xbox Game Pass as well. But is that the case? Let’s find out.

Can you play Age of Mythology: Retold on Xbox Game Pass?

In short, yes, Age of Mythology: Retold is available on Game Pass from day one. This comes as no surprise because as stated, the game is published by Microsoft. That makes a Game Pass subscription a great option if you want to test out the game. Therefore, you can start playing the game with the Game Pass starting on September 4, 2024 – the same date as the official release for everyone else.

If you already have the Game Pass subscription, then you’re already set. All you need to do is download the game and have fun.

Moreover, the game is available on the console for the first time ever, specifically on Xbox Series X|S. Strategy games have slowly been trickling down to consoles more and more over the years, and Age of Mythology: Retold is the latest one to try out.

Do you need Game Pass to play?

You don’t need to have a Game Pass subscription to play the game. You can buy the game separately on the Microsoft Store, Steam, or the Xbox Store. It all comes down to which service and form you prefer. 

If you’re sure you’re going to play the game for a long time and don’t necessarily need the Game Pass for other reasons, then buying the game outright is the better option. On the other hand, if you already have the Game Pass subscription, then you’re already set. All you need to do is download the game and have fun.
