THQ Nordic, the game's publisher, hasn't issued any official statement regarding its availability on Xbox Game Pass. Despite being accessible on the Xbox Series X/S platforms, the game won't be included in Xbox Game Pass. Thus, fans eager to play can purchase it from the Xbox store, where it's currently available for pre-order. Alternatively, they can wait for official confirmation of its potential inclusion in Game Pass.

While numerous games were released this year, many didn't debut on Game Pass upon their official release. Titles like Skull and Bones, Tekken 8, WWE 2K24, and Prince of Persia The Lost Crown are accessible on Xbox platforms but not yet on Microsoft's Subscription service. However, there remains hope that these titles, alongside Alone in the Dark, may be added to Game Pass in the future.
