No. Dead Island 2 isn’t available on Xbox Game Pass, and neither have the publishers announced any dates for the game to release on the Xbox Game Pass.
The upcoming zombie RPG title has been in the works for a very long time at this point, so fans of the series are undoubtedly chomping at the bit to play it. That being said, players should always be a little apprehensive about putting their money on a game that has been in development hell as long as this one has.
Since games nowadays are being released with subscriptions like Xbox game pass or PlayStation Plus, checking their availability is necessary before buying a game.
What is Dead Island 2?
Dead Island 2 is a crazy ride, with the game continuously hurling large hordes of zombie enemies your way. While you'll want to engage in every combat, you'll want to fight strategically to avoid dying - honestly, the gore system in Dead Island 2 is excellent, in a stomach-churning sort of manner.
Is Dead Island 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
Unfortunately, Dead Island 2 is not available on Xbox Game Pass. It must be included in the basic membership, the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate collection, or the PC edition of the Game Pass. The only way to play it on Xbox right now is to buy it. Even worse for those waiting for this game to come out is that it will not be a $60 game, as we've been accustomed to in recent years.
Dead Island 2 has followed the pattern of being priced at $70 instead, which may be $10 more than purchasers were expected to pay, but if you've been waiting for Dead Island 2 for this long anyhow, the price definitely won't be a dealbreaker.
Will Dead Island 2 be on the Xbox Game Pass?
Deep Silver's publisher has not indicated that the game would be included in Xbox Game Pass in any reasonable timeline if you plan on playing it. The original Dead Island is also not available via Xbox Game Pass.
While the availability of games on the service varies per instance, there's no actual precedence for Deep Silver to have any noteworthy collaboration with Xbox that would imply Dead Island 2 is a definite addition later on.
