Strategy games, once a rarity on consoles, have found a home on Xbox, defying past limitations and failed attempts (like StarCraft's infamous Nintendo 64 debut). A diverse range of titles now offer intricate gameplay on living room-friendly platforms.

Xbox Game Pass provides a treasure trove for aspiring armchair commanders. Whether your preference leans towards galactic empire management or directing quirky invertebrate bomb squads, Game Pass caters to diverse strategic tastes.

Tactical games, while technically a separate genre, are included due to their strategic similarities.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The new year brings anticipation for exciting additions to Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft's service is poised for continued success, building on a strong 2024 finish. While not always the headline grabbers, new strategy titles are anticipated, with several confirmed projects in the pipeline. Commandos: Origins and Football Manager 25 are particularly noteworthy potential additions, especially the former. In the meantime, subscribers can explore a strategy game added in December 2024.
