Alone in the Dark is coming in time for Halloween. If you use Game Pass, you may wonder whether you’ll get it as part of the subscription. This article has the answer!
In 1992, Alone in the Dark wrote history for the video game horror genre. Without the game’s influence, the genre would not be the same and many titles gamers love might never have been developed. The first game was followed by a handful of other titles, half of which were decent games, the other half not so much. When fans of the franchise heard there’d be a remake of the series’ first game, the reaction was mixed. Some were delighted; Others feared the remake would ruin the great gaming experience gamers remembered.
After all, each of the more modern Alone in the Dark games was worse than the one before. Would another game in the franchise be able to break the curse or kill it off completely? From what we have seen so far, there is hope. The remake looks great and stays true to the aspects that made the original so memorable. Of course, only time can tell whether it’ll be a hit. Many gamers ask whether the game will be available on Game Pass, and this article looks at the answer.

Which Platforms Will Alone in the Dark Be Available On?
The game, which Pieces Interactive develops, will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The publisher of the seventh entry in the Alone in the Dark Franchise is THQ Nordic.
Will Alone in the Dark Be Available on Game Pass?
Maybe. Microsoft has not announced plans to add Alone in the Dark to Game Pass. Gamers can pre-order the game on the Xbox store, but the page mentions nothing about the game being playable via Game Pass. As the game is published by THQ Nordic, a company with a good relationship with Microsoft, the remake may be added to the Game Pass lineup later.
But it is unlikely that the game will be available via Game Pass right away. It’s a highly anticipated game, and the publisher most likely wants to sell many copies before agreeing to put the game on Game Pass.

Will Alone in the Dark Be a Good Game?
There are many reasons to believe the Alone in the Dark Remake will be an excellent game. The two main characters are voice-acted by big names: Stranger Things actor David Harbour takes the role of Edward Carnby, and Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer is Emily Hartwood.
Early previews of the game give the impression that core elements of the original gameplay are present in the remake. This is a good sign because, too often, remakes try to do their own thing and turn a beloved classic into a modern failure. Alone in the Dark has found a good balance between sticking to its roots and adding modern touches.
