The console market once lacked substantial strategy game offerings, with few exceptions and unsuccessful attempts (like StarCraft's awkward Nintendo 64 debut). However, numerous titles now provide strategic gameplay on living room consoles, especially on Xbox.
Xbox Game Pass offers a strong selection for strategy game enthusiasts. Whether you prefer commanding vast galactic empires or directing quirky invertebrate bomb squads, Game Pass has something for you.
Tactical games, while technically a separate genre, are included due to their strategic similarities.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The start of a new year brings anticipation. What will 2025 bring? Xbox Game Pass appears poised for success, following a strong finish to 2024. While not always the focus, new strategy games are expected on the service, with several confirmed titles. Commandos: Origins and Football Manager 25 are likely to appeal to genre fans, particularly the former. Meanwhile, subscribers can explore a strategy game added in December 2024.
