Updated on September 25: Terminull Brigade was also shadow-dropped on PC Game Pass and XGP Ultimate during today's Xbox TGS 2025 Broadcast. The original story is as follows.
Xbox Game Pass has added Peppa Pig: World Adventures and Visions of Mana to its content catalog. They are the 11th and 12th titles to reach Microsoft's subscription service in September 2025, as well as the 119th and 120th new Xbox Game Pass releases since the beginning of the year.
Developed by Barcelona, Spain-based Petoons Studio, Peppa Pig: World Adventures is a 2023 family-friendly adventure that takes the popular animated hog on a grand journey spanning New York City, Paris, and London, among several other top tourist destinations. She gets to befriend cute characters, build and decorate her house, and partake in a variety of tourist activities over the course of the game. Conversely, Visions of Mana is a 2024 JRPG developed and published by Square Enix. It is the first new mainline entry in the Mana series in over 15 years, since the 2006 Dawn of Mana, known as Seiken Densetsu 4 in Japan.
Xbox Game Pass Adds Multi-GOTY-Award-Winning Game
The latest Xbox Game Pass catalog update introduces a beloved 2020 title that happens to be the recipient of multiple GOTY awards.
Peppa Pig: World Adventures and Visions of Mana Join Xbox Game Pass
Though Visions of Mana and Peppa Pig: World Adventures are as different as two video games can be, they are now united in joining Xbox Game Pass on the same day, having been added to Microsoft's content library on September 25. Since neither is a day-one release, both can be played via any non-Core membership. They also come with Xbox Cloud Gaming support and can hence be streamed on a supported device, including the Xbox One, which did not receive native versions of either game.
In terms of critical acclaim, Visions of Mana is the more highly-rated addition, holding a "Strong" rating on OpenCritic, with an average score of 77 and a 71% reviewer recommendation rate. Peppa Pig: World Adventures has a "Fair" rating on the aggregator platform, derived from an average score of 69 and a 55% recommendation rate.
Only one more title is scheduled to join the Xbox Game Pass library in September 2025, with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light coming at the tail end of the month. September 30 is also the date when Xbox Game Pass is losing three games, all part of the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection.
