Aliens: Fireteam Elite first landed on Game Pass in late 2021, but it was pulled at the end of 2022. Since then, fans have been waiting for another chance to squad up and mow down waves of Xenomorphs. As of today, you can boot it up on PC, Xbox consoles, or even stream it via Cloud if you’re on Ultimate.

This Aliens game is a complete third-person survival shooter. You and two squad mates are preparing to run through endless swarms of aliens and replies that will make your stomach drop. Different classes provide a variety of ways to keep gameplay interesting, while the variety of weapons available allows you to customize your loadout.

Each mission is an uptick in tension, with frenetic gunfight combined with moments in tight attack corridors reminiscent of playing Alien.
