Over a year after Microsoft's initial announcement, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is finally heading to Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Back at X019, Microsoft announced they would be adding ten Final Fantasy games to the Xbox Game Pass in 2020. Over a year later, and we've only seen six of the promised games, with Final Fantasy XV already having said its farewells and leaving Game Pass on February 1.

Earlier this year, a Microsoft spokesperson said they would be bringing the remaining Final Fantasy games "in 2021 and beyond," with Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age being the first to arrive on 11 February.

Xbox Game Pass currently houses Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII Remastered, and Final Fantasy IX. We're still waiting for Final Fantasy X: HD Remastered, Final Fantasy X-2: HD Remastered, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII to be added.

She joined PC Gamer in 2020 as a news writer and now lends her expertise to write a wealth of features, guides and reviews with a dash of chaos. She can often be found causing mischief in Final Fantasy 14, using those experiences to write neat things about her favourite MMO. When she's not staring at her bunny girl she can be found sweating out rhythm games, pretending to be good at fighting games or spending far too much money at her local arcade.
