Is No Rest for the Wicked on Xbox Game Pass?

If you’re looking for a new action-RPG, No Rest for the Wicked could be the one for you. The latest game from Ori developer Moon Studios has been in early access since April 18, and many players are wondering whether it’s on Xbox Game Pass. If you’re among them, brace yourself: we don’t come bearing good news.

Will No Rest for the Wicked be available on Xbox Game Pass?

At the time of writing, No Rest for the Wicked isn’t included in Xbox Game Pass, and it’s unlikely it will be any time soon. Moon Studios hasn’t mentioned Xbox Game Pass at all. It’s hard to say if it will happen in later stages of early access or come with the game’s official release. No Rest for the Wicked launched into early access on April 18 only on Steam. So far, the developer hasn’t revealed any plans to add it to the subscription service in the future.

Having said that, the game will eventually make its way to Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, but the developer hasn’t confirmed the exact date for when that will happen. Instead, it claimed the game will ship to consoles when it launches with its full 1.0 version. In the meantime, you can play the game with a controller on your PC.

It’s hard to tell when No Rest for the Wicked will eventually arrive on consoles. Some games stay in early access for just a few months, while others remain there for years.

What is No Rest for the Wicked about?

In No Rest for the Wicked, players don the mantle of Cerim, a warrior with a mystical power to fight a deadly plague, which is essentially the game’s main antagonist. The game uses a third-person perspective and requires careful planning from players before they jump into the action.

So far, players have compared No Rest for the Wicked to gritty RPGs like Diablo and Dark Souls. And judging by the gameplay in the showcase trailer, it makes sense.
