Thronefall joins Game Pass. What about Craaghelm?
Xbox lists the kingdom builder for November 11, the same day its first expansion arrives. Here’s what each listing gets you.
Xbox lineup
Xbox plans to add Thronefall to Game Pass on November 11. Its announcement names the base game. Craaghelm, due the same day, has its own store page and requires Thronefall on Steam. If the mountain campaign is what brought you here, check the add-on listing before counting on your subscription to cover it.
Which game is coming to Game Pass?
Look for the single word Thronefall. Xbox lists it for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass, across cloud, Xbox Series X|S, handheld and PC. That is the November lineup for the US. The announcement gives a day, so check your own device and subscription on November 11 before making plans around a particular hour.
On Steam, the base game already has an October 2024 release date. You ride out from a small settlement, spend the day deciding where to put your money, then defend what you built at night. A windmill and a wall make very different uses of the same gold. You can try that trade-off in the original game without picking up an expansion.
What changes inside the mountain?
Craaghelm gives the ruler eight new maps. In Mythwright’s November 5 preview, bridges on some maps can rise or drop, letting you funnel an attack along a different route. Other platforms move between rounds. The decision shifts from where to put a tower to whether the enemy will still have to pass it next night.
For a look at the terrain, watch the publisher’s Craaghelm announcement trailer or open the expansion’s Steam gallery. Both show the game before release. The gallery can help you decide whether those new maps are the draw for you. It cannot establish how a final console build performs.

For a first visit, start with the base-game entry in your Xbox library and check the inclusion label for your plan. If you already own Thronefall on Steam, open the separate Craaghelm listing there. It names the required base game. Owning a Steam copy is a reason to check that store first, especially if you also have a subscription on another platform.
PS5 players have a separate listing for Thronefall on the US PlayStation Store. Xbox’s announcement applies to its own subscription. The same calendar date alone tells you nothing about DLC access on either console. Check the exact product name and what your storefront includes before buying anything.
