No, Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is not in Game Pass as of November 9, 2026. Here is what the Xbox store really says and how to check.
Warrior Cats Game Pass: Is Clans of the Forest Included?
Quick answer: No. Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is not included in Xbox Game Pass as of November 9, 2026. Microsoft has not announced a Game Pass release, and the Xbox store lists the game at $29.99 with a separate purchase. The store does say it is "cloud playable with Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate" — but that line ends with "Game purchase required," so it is cloud streaming, not a catalog inclusion.
That distinction causes most of the confusion. This page explains exactly what the store says, what it does not say, and how to check again later without relying on rumor posts.
The short version
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is it in Game Pass today? | No |
| Has a Game Pass release been announced? | No |
| Price on Xbox | $29.99 standard, $39.99 Feral Edition |
| Can Game Pass members stream it? | Yes, if they own the game |
| Does cloud streaming include the game? | No, purchase required |
| Is PC Game Pass different? | Yes, and it is also unconfirmed |
What the Xbox store actually says
The official Xbox listing has a line that reads:
"Cloud playable with Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate. Game purchase required."
Read the second sentence carefully. Game Pass is providing the cloud streaming entitlement, not the game license. A subscriber who does not own Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest cannot launch it through the cloud just because they pay for Ultimate.
This is the same structure Microsoft uses for many purchased games that support Xbox Cloud Gaming. It is a useful feature, but it is not the same as a title appearing in the Game Pass library.
"Cloud playable" describes streaming access. "Game purchase required" describes the license. Both must be true for a Game Pass member who does not own the game — which is why this is not a catalog title.
Why the confusion exists
Three things get mixed together in search results and social posts:
- Cloud playable means the game supports Xbox Cloud Gaming. It does not mean the game is in the subscription catalog.
- Play Anywhere means one digital purchase works on Xbox and PC. It does not mean the game is free with Game Pass.
- Game Pass rumors often come from a store tag, a regional listing or an influencer video. None of those are an official announcement.
The Xbox page also shows an "Offers in-app purchases" note and a Prophecy Pack add-on. Those are normal storefront details, not evidence of a subscription release.
How to verify Game Pass status yourself
Use this checklist before believing a claim:
- Open the official Xbox store page and look for an "Included in" section. A real Game Pass title normally appears there.
- Search the Game Pass app on console or PC. If the game is not in the catalog, it will not appear as installable.
- Check the official Warrior Cats and Trailmark Games channels. A Game Pass launch would be announced by the publisher, not only by a fan account.
- Ignore pages that promise a "free download" or a "Game Pass code." There is no legitimate code system for this game.
The FAQ page also tracks the Game Pass question and updates it when the publisher says something new.
If it comes to Game Pass later
There is no confirmed date, window or tier. If a Game Pass release happens, the practical questions will be:
- Which tier? Essential, Premium and Ultimate have different catalogs.
- Console, PC or both? Microsoft often announces them separately.
- Does progress carry over? Xbox cloud saves and Play Anywhere make this likely for the Xbox/PC versions, but it is not confirmed for a future subscription release.
- What happens to your purchase? Buying the game now is not wasted if you want to own it. A future Game Pass addition would not remove your license.
The editions and price guide explains the difference between the standard and Feral editions if you decide not to wait.
Should you wait for Game Pass?
If you are only curious about the game, waiting costs nothing. If you want to play now, the standard edition is $29.99 and the Feral Edition is $39.99. The Feral Edition adds the Prophecy Pack, which is also sold separately for $14.99 on Xbox.
A subscription is only a good deal if you would use the rest of the catalog. One $29.99 game does not justify a month of Ultimate by itself, especially when the game is not actually included.
What about PC Game Pass?
PC Game Pass is a separate catalog from console Game Pass, and there is no official confirmation for either. The Steam version is the safest PC purchase because it is the version with the documented 27 achievements and Steam Cloud support. The Xbox and PlayStation versions guide compares the platform features.
FAQ
Is Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest on Game Pass? No, not as of November 9, 2026.
Why does the Xbox store mention Game Pass? Because the game supports cloud streaming for members who already own it. The same line says "Game purchase required."
Is it free on Xbox? No. The standard edition is $29.99.
Will it come to Game Pass later? Not announced. Treat any date as a rumor until Trailmark Games or Microsoft confirms it.
Can I play it on Xbox Cloud Gaming without buying it? No. You need a license for the game.
Does Game Pass include the Feral Edition? No. The Feral Edition is a paid upgrade, and the Prophecy Pack is sold separately.
Bottom line
Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest is a paid game, not a Game Pass title. The Xbox store's cloud line is about streaming ownership, not catalog access. If you want to play on Xbox today, budget $29.99 for the standard edition or $39.99 for the Feral Edition, and check the official store page again if Microsoft ever announces a subscription release.
