The console market once lacked robust strategy game offerings, aside from a few exceptions and unsuccessful attempts (like StarCraft's awkward debut on the Nintendo 64). However, numerous titles have since brought strategic gameplay to living room consoles, especially on Xbox.
Xbox Game Pass provides a compelling selection for aspiring 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 releases. Xbox Game Pass appears poised for a strong year, building on a successful 2024. While often overlooked, new strategy games are expected on the service, with a couple confirmed. Commandos: Origins and Football Manager 25 are potential highlights, particularly the former. Meanwhile, subscribers can explore a strategy game added in December 2024. See details below.
