Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light joins Game Pass
The latest title to enter the catalog is Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, developed by Crystal Dynamics and originally released in 2010. This fast-paced cooperative action-adventure is now available with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Xbox Game Pass Standard, and PC Game Pass subscriptions.
Unlike the mainline Tomb Raider games, this spin-off offers an isometric view, emphasizing puzzles, platforming, and teamwork. Players can tackle traps, explore ancient tombs, and fight hordes of enemies — solo or in co-op.
Gameplay and unique features
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light was the very first Crystal Dynamics title launched exclusively as a digital download. It set itself apart with:
- Exploration and puzzles inspired by classic Tomb Raider design
- Cooperative and competitive multiplayer elements
- Fast, vertical gameplay across sprawling tombs and underground environments
- Undead enemies and epic bosses brought to life by the villain Xolotl
The proprietary engine behind the game removed loading times, offering seamless transitions between action sequences and exploration.
Available platforms and subscriptions
- Included in: Xbox Game Pass Standard, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass
- Playable on: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Cloud Gaming
Whether you’re a long-time Tomb Raider fan or simply looking for a fun co-op adventure, this addition is a great reason to revisit Lara Croft’s world.
In Conclusion: Will you play it?
Xbox continues to balance big releases with retro favorites, making Game Pass one of the most dynamic gaming subscriptions available. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light is the perfect mix of nostalgia and fun.
