Twitter celeb and friend of the site, Klobrille has posted a tweet after noticing that a Microsoft Store listing for Spyro Reignited Trilogy has suddenly appeared. A Spryo Game Pass release seems likely with this sudden appearance.
Typically, in the past when a store listing for the Microsoft PC store shows up for an older title, it has meant that the game was coming to Game Pass sooner than later. The listing is live as a PC only version, which is typical as adding games into the Play Anywhere system is the exception rather than the rule. One difference here is that the game is directly in the store instead of being accessed through battle.net, Blizzard’s own launcher. Diablo IV hit the service at the end of March but was added in via and account linking system that used your Xbox account to access the battle.net version of the title.
The game’s Xbox store listing describes it as:
“The original roast master is back! Same sick burns, same smoldering attitude, now all scaled up in stunning HD. Spyro is bringing the heat like never before in the Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy game collection. Rekindle the fire with the original three games, Spyro™ the Dragon, Spyro™ 2: Ripto’s Rage! and Spyro™: Year of the Dragon. Explore the expansive realms, re-encounter the fiery personalities and relive the adventure in fully remastered glory. Because when there’s a realm that needs saving, there’s only one dragon to call.”
The next wave of Game Pass titles will hit on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024. Keep any eye on this site at 9am EDT and we’ll quickly have an update with every game confirmed for the service.

Nice. Been waiting for this to go on Game Pass.
Please FPS boost.
Interesting they add this to the PC Microsoft store instead of forcing battlenet like diablo 4
I’m looking forward to trying this. I think I played the original at a friend’s house on ps1
Such a great remake - Toys for Bob really took the time to redefine the art style in a way that looked appropriate but gorgeous on modern hardware, and even worked with the original developers to really do it right. Makes me real excited for whatever they cook up in their partnership with Xbox.
Battle.net only has a handful of games on it, most of ABK’s back-catalog is on Steam and will require ports.
Yeah a ton of the Crash and Spyro titles are on sale right now and I was holding out for GP appearances. I’ll pick up the ones I’m really into.
Fingers crossed for playanywhere ports
This one isn’t and none of Bethesda’s were. You have to opt into it at the start, if memory serves. Hard to convert it, has to really be worth the ROI
Meh, they insist on adding games I allready own… Gimme the CoD-campaigns damnit!
Yeah I noticed this one wasnt sadly… This was more towards your statement of activisions back catalog… which in some cases i hope can be ported to play anywhere… If not Ill either play them on gamepass when i resub or just buy them on steam. As play anywhere is typically the feature that will get me to purchase on the ms store.
