Xbox Game Pass: Resident Evil Village coming soon?

Microsoft's Larry Hryb, also known on the web by the nickname Major Nelson, commented on recent rumors that want Resident Evil Village coming to Xbox Game Pass, the subscription service of Xbox Series X|S, One, and PC. According to his words, "at the moment there is no plan" to include the Capcom title in the catalog of the service.

As reported a few days ago, a leak from the Polish Xbox Store indicated Resident Evil Village as part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog, thus fueling hopes of seeing it included in the first shipment of games coming to the service's April 2022 catalog.

In response to the rumors, Larry Hyrb intervened on Twitter explaining that the Polish store was simply an error generated when the game was discounted with the latest offers and that at the moment Microsoft has no plans to add Capcom's horror to the Game Pass catalog.

"It was an error related to how to display a discount for the title in the Microsoft Store and has since been corrected. At this time, there are no plans to bring Resident Evil Village to Game Pass," says Major Nelson.

That said, it is not excluded that Resident Evil Village does not come on Xbox Game Pass sooner or later. After all, in the catalog of the service over time have landed several flagship titles of the Japanese publisher, such as Monster Hunter World, Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 7.
