What was announced at the February 2025 ID@Xbox Showcase?
Xbox Wire’s February 24 recap covered 22 games or game updates. It included exact release dates, seasonal or yearly windows, new trailers, and Game Pass announcements. The list below keeps those announcement types distinct: a trailer or platform reveal is not the same as a confirmed launch date.

Reveals and trailer updates without a specific launch date

- Echo Weaver: Revealed for Xbox and Game Pass. Xbox Wire described it as a time-looping “Metroidbrainia”; no launch timing was listed in the recap.
- Lies of P: Overture: A new story trailer offered a closer look at the DLC expansion. The recap did not announce a release date in this entry.
- Ultimate Sheep Raccoon: A new trailer announced Game Pass at release, and the recap showed an eight-player mode. It did not specify a release date.

How to read the announcement slate
The showcase mixed different kinds of news rather than announcing a release date for every game. Some entries had a specific day, others only a season or year, and several were reveals or trailer updates without a date in Xbox Wire’s recap. Game Pass news appeared across both date-specific launches and broader announcements; the recap’s wording records what Xbox said on February 24, 2025, not what is currently in the catalog.
