No Rest for the Wicked Game Pass availability has not been announced. Xbox Series X|S is planned for a later date, while PC and PS5 launch in October.
Current Game Pass answer
Moon Studios' official 1.0 announcement lists platforms and release timing but does not mention Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. That absence is not proof that a future agreement is impossible; it means there is no supported basis to promise one today. Treat pages claiming a confirmed day-one subscription launch as unverified unless they link to a newer Moon Studios or Xbox announcement.
| Service or platform | Current confirmed status |
|---|---|
| Steam | Available to purchase in Early Access |
| PC Game Pass | Not announced |
| Xbox Game Pass | Not announced |
| PlayStation 5 | Full release in October 2026 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Planned later; date TBD |
Xbox release does not equal Game Pass
An Xbox version can launch as a normal paid game without entering Game Pass. Conversely, a Game Pass agreement could be announced later without changing the fact that the Xbox port currently has no date. These are separate questions and should not be collapsed into one rumor.
The official post invites players to wishlist the game on Xbox, which confirms platform intent. It does not confirm price, release window or subscription access. Until those details appear on an official Xbox store page or developer announcement, all three remain 待确认.
Can PC players use Game Pass now?
The playable PC edition is the Steam Early Access product. The official platform table describes PC as Steam, and the supplied research includes no Microsoft Store or PC Game Pass listing. Players who want access now should use the official Steam link and verify the live price in their region.
Buying on Steam should not be assumed to grant a later Microsoft Store or Xbox license. Moon Studios has announced cross-save for 1.0, but cross-save concerns progress, not automatic cross-buy. Account and license rules will need separate documentation.
Why the answer may change
Subscription catalogs and platform deals are time-sensitive. A correct answer today can become outdated through a single announcement. This page therefore keeps the status in one direct section and avoids invented dates, leaked prices or unsupported claims about negotiations.
If Game Pass matters to your purchase decision, wait for one of three primary signals: an official Moon Studios news post, an Xbox Wire announcement, or a live Xbox store listing that explicitly names the service. Social posts and store placeholders without that language are not enough.
What is confirmed for 1.0
Version 1.0 is coming to PC through Steam and PS5 in October 2026. Moon Studios says it will expand the world and story, redesign class progression, add further combat and endgame content, and support crossplay and cross-save between PC and console at launch.
Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 follow at an unspecified later date. Because no Xbox date is available, there can be no reliable “day one” Game Pass calendar yet. The exact October date for PC and PS5 is also still 待确认.
A purchase decision without assumptions
If you want to play immediately, compare the live Steam price with the current product rather than with a hypothetical subscription. The game already includes online co-op and major Early Access updates, but the final story and redesigned progression arrive at 1.0. Buy only if that present package is enough.
If you play exclusively on Xbox, wishlisting and waiting is the evidence-based choice. There is no Xbox release date, so a subscription decision cannot accelerate access. Do not buy a Steam key expecting it to activate on Xbox or convert through cross-save.
If you subscribe to PC Game Pass but also own a suitable PC, decide how important Steam ownership, Workshop-like community expectations and long-term access are to you. The supplied research does not confirm a Microsoft Store build, so no comparison of saves, achievements or catalog duration can yet be made.
Signals that would change this page
An Xbox Wire post explicitly naming Game Pass, a Moon Studios announcement, or an official store badge would be sufficient evidence. A social reply, an unattributed screenshot or the presence of an Xbox logo would not. When a primary source appears, the direct answer and service table should be updated together.
Frequently asked questions
Is No Rest for the Wicked free on Game Pass?
No official Game Pass availability is announced. The current PC version is a paid Steam Early Access product.
Is it coming to Xbox?
Yes, Xbox Series X|S is listed as a later platform, but its release date remains TBD.
Should I wait for a Game Pass announcement?
Wait if subscription access is a requirement for you. Buy on Steam only if the current product and price are acceptable without assuming a future catalog addition.
