Here’s all you need to know about whether or not War Thunder is on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
Is War Thunder on Xbox Game Pass?
No, War Thunder is not on Xbox Game Pass.
War Thunder was released a decade ago directly via the game’s official site for platforms and is currently available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Linux, Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). The game did not launch via Game Pass and did not become a part of Xbox Game Pass library. It is currently playable via Steam or the game’s official site.
Is War Thunder on PC Game Pass?
No, War Thunder is not on PC Game Pass.
Similar to the Xbox Game Pass situation, War Thunder did not release on PC Game Pass either. There could be a number of reasons for a game’s absence from the Game Pass library, including the developer’s decision to focus on direct sales or some contractual problems.
Can you play War Thunder via Game Pass?
Unfortunately, you cannot play War Thunder via Xbox or PC Game Pass. This is because the game was released exclusively via the game’s site and did not have a Game Pass release. Players can access War Thunder via the game site or Steam.
The game’s description reads:
“War Thunder is the most comprehensive free-to-play, cross-platform, MMO military game dedicated to aviation, armored vehicles, and naval craft, from the early 20th century to the most advanced modern combat units. Join now and take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea.“
