Microsoft has revealed the new titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early March and it’s another varied lineup for subscribers. The headliner of this batch is the underappreciated Marvel Universe adventure Guardians of the Galaxy, and we’re also getting a pair of new-release games in Far: Changing Tides and Young Souls.
