Stellaris is a grand strategy video game developed by Paradox Development Studio and published by Paradox Interactive. Engage in the four pillars of exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination as you navigate the vastness of space and shape your interstellar empire. But is it coming out on Game Pass?
Here’s all you need to know about whether or not Stellaris is out on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
Is Stellaris on Xbox Game Pass?
Yes, Stellaris is on Xbox Game Pass. It was released on August 19, 2019.
The game came out for consoles on February 26, 2019, as “Stellaris: Console Edition.” Soon, in under six months, the game got added to the Xbox Game Pass library. As the PC version was out for longer, both versions came to Game Pass together. Additionally, the game is only available to play for Xbox users with Game Pass Ultimate and not the Game Pass Core subscription.
Is Stellaris on PC Game Pass?
Yes, Stellaris is on PC Game Pass. It was released on August 19, 2019.
If you are subscribed to PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate, you can play Stellaris on your PC. The game initially came out for Microsoft Windows on May 9, 2016. It got added to Game Pass later, after the release of the console edition of the game in 2019. Stellaris is available for PC players with both PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate memberships.
How to play Stellaris via Game Pass?
In order to play Stellaris via Xbox or PC Game Pass, you must be subscribed to either PC Game Pass for PC players or Game Pass Ultimate for Xbox players. Unfortunately, Game Pass Core does not give Xbox players access to the game. Additionally, the player has to purchase the DLCs for the game separately since Game Pass does not include access to them. Game Pass only gives the player access to the base game.
The game’s description reads:
“Explore a galaxy full of wonders in this sci-fi grand strategy game from Paradox Development Studios. Interact with diverse alien races, discover strange new worlds with unexpected events and expand the reach of your empire. Each new adventure holds almost limitless possibilities.”
