Techland’s newest entry in the zombie parkour franchise, Dying Light: The Beast, is finally here. Returning fans will be excited to see Kyle Crane back as the protagonist, while newcomers may be curious if this is the right jumping-in point.
But if you’re wondering whether you can play it through Xbox Game Pass, the answer might disappoint you.
Is Dying Light: The Beast on Xbox Game Pass?
As of now, Dying Light: The Beast is not included in Xbox Game Pass. Techland has not announced any plans to bring the game to Microsoft’s subscription service in the future.
That means if you want to dive into Crane’s latest adventure, the only option is to purchase the game on your preferred platform.
Platforms and Release Date
Dying Light: The Beast officially launched on September 18, 2025, for:
- PC
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
A PS4 and Xbox One version is also planned to release later in 2025.
This entry follows Kyle Crane’s story after the events of Dying Light: The Following DLC, giving fans long-awaited answers about his fate.
Price and Value
The game is priced at $60, which is slightly lower than many modern AAA releases. For players who enjoy open-world survival with intense parkour and combat, it offers solid value — though some may still prefer to wait for a potential Xbox Game Pass release.
Dying Light Franchise on Xbox Game Pass
Interestingly, not only is The Beast absent from Game Pass, but none of the previous Dying Light games are included in the subscription catalog either. This suggests Techland may be keeping the series separate from the service, at least for now.
Origins of The Beast
Fun fact: Dying Light: The Beast actually began development as a DLC expansion for Dying Light 2: Stay Human. However, it eventually grew into a standalone title, offering a larger-scale story and gameplay experience than originally planned.
At this point, there’s no guarantee that Dying Light: The Beast will ever arrive on Xbox Game Pass. While it’s always possible Techland could add it later, fans eager to experience Kyle Crane’s return shouldn’t wait around.
If you’re a fan of the franchise or looking for a fresh survival-horror adventure, Dying Light: The Beast is worth the $60 launch price. For now, Game Pass players will have to sit this one out.
