Microsoft has teased the addition of Spyro the Dragon to the Xbox Game Pass subscription service.
In a thinly veiled X/Twitter post from Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft published a short teaser showing a chest, with the message: “Hey uhh who left this chest here?”
The official Spyro account replied with those eyes that mean something is definitely happening but hasn’t been properly announced yet.

— Spyro (@SpyroTheDragon) November 11, 2024 This is all pointing to a Game Pass launch for Toys for Bob’s well-received collection Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, which launched in 2018 to critical acclaim. It includes remakes of the first three games in the Spyro series: Spyro the Dragon (1998); Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! (1999); and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000). As of September 2023, Spyro: Reignited Trilogy had sold over 10 million copies.
Wave 1 of Game Pass’ November 2024 lineup wraps up with the November 19 day one launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, which means Microsoft is set to announce Wave 2 soon.
The addition of Spyro to Game Pass would continue the drip-feed release of Activision Blizzard games on the subscription service following Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of the company last year. Game Pass already has Blizzard’s Diablo 4 and Activision’s recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with plenty more to come.
