Rollout Timeline and Future Expansion
Wargaming’s phased approach to implementing Game Pass benefits extends throughout the entire calendar year, beginning with World of Warships on Xbox on PC from 9 April. This carefully planned release approach allows the publisher to refine reward systems and obtain user insights before introducing to further franchises.

The structured timeline reflects industry best practice, enabling technical validation and guaranteeing every game’s reward system aligns with its unique gameplay mechanics and player expectations.
Over the coming months will see World of Warships: Legends, World of Tanks Modern Armor, World of Tanks Blitz, and the forthcoming World of Tanks: Heat obtaining their respective Game Pass improvements. Each title functions across several platforms—including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC—expanding the reach of these perks to millions of subscribers.
