Xbox Game Pass has added another adventure game for subscribers to enjoy: Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island by Polygon Treehouse. Originally released in December 2024 on multiple platforms, the indie sandbox experience currently has a “Very Positive” user rating on Steam and earned numerous accolades throughout 2023 and 2024, and now Xbox Game Pass subscribers can check it out at no additional cost.

Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island puts players in the role of Alex, a rookie backpacker who unexpectedly finds herself shipwrecked on a very special island that just happens to be the home to Greek mythology’s long-forgotten gods. The only problem is that they seem to have forgotten who they are. Alex sets out to restore their memories, make friends, and uncover the truth behind the curse on Ambrosia Island. And of course, her ultimate goal is to get back home.

The Best Games On Xbox Game Pass (March 2025)

Xbox Game Pass is unquestionably worth the subscription fee, but which of the available games are the best use of your hard drive space?

Beginning on March 20, Xbox Game Pass members will be able to enjoy Polygon Treehouse’s sandbox adventure game as part of their subscription. It will be available to members of the Standard, PC, and Ultimate tiers and is also playable via the Xbox Cloud Gaming beta. Players have praised the game’s graphics, animations, and engaging gameplay loop, comparing it to a cozy visual novel with simple quests rather than a more active action-adventure experience.

Coming Soon for Xbox Game Pass Subscribers

One of the marketing points for Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island is that it doesn’t use generative AI, a badge that the developer wears proudly. In February, Polygon Treehouse Creative Director Alex Kanaris-Sotiriou introduced the seal, which allows indie devs to easily assure players that no generative AI was used in a project’s development. While there is no practice in place to ensure that those who display the badge are being honest, the concept depends on an honor system and is nevertheless a step in the right direction when it comes to AI use.

Members of Microsoft’s subscription service still have a couple more exciting games to look forward to before the month ends and even more arriving in April. Standout titles coming to Game Pass include Atomfall, which will be launching day one on March 27 for Ultimate subscribers. The survival action game transports players to post-nuclear Britain, where they will have to scrounge and barter for goods, craft weapons and armor, and of course, fight for survival.

On April 8, Game Pass Ultimate subscribers have another day-one release to be excited about: South of Midnight, the highly anticipated action-adventure experience by We Happy Few’s Compulsion Games. And near the end of the month, on April 28, gamers will finally be able to jump into Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscure: Expedition 33, a turn-based RPG inspired by France’s pre-war Belle Epoque.
