Xbox Game Pass Welcomes Sniper Elite: Resistance in Day One Release
World War 2 tactical shooter arrives on Microsoft’s subscription service with positive critical reception.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now access Rebellion Developments’ latest tactical shooter, Sniper Elite: Resistance, as part of their subscription. The game, which launched on January 30, arrives on the service as a day one release, allowing members immediate access on both PC and Xbox consoles without additional cost.
Set in Vichy, France during World War 2, Sniper Elite: Resistance follows Special Operations Executive Harry Hawker in a narrative that runs parallel to the events of Sniper Elite 5. The game emphasizes tactical combat and stealth mechanics, featuring refined sniping systems that build upon the franchise’s established foundation. Players can engage in both solo campaigns and online cooperative missions, while a 16-player competitive multiplayer mode and the returning Invasion asymmetrical multiplayer option provide additional gameplay variety.

Beyond Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Sniper Elite: Resistance is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC through Steam and Epic Games Store. A Deluxe Edition, which includes upcoming Season Pass content, can be purchased separately, with a physical edition option for collectors.
