Super Meat Boy is back on the menu with the release of Super Meat Boy 3D, inevitably leading to questions about the title’s Xbox Game Pass availability.
Super Meat Boy 3D follows on from the original title and 2020’s Super Meat Boy Forever, but with a big twist that puts the platformer into the three-dimensional format for the first time.
If you’re wondering whether the title is available through Xbox Game Pass, or if you’ll need to splash out to secure a copy, Insider Gaming has you covered.
Can You Play Super Meat Boy 3D on Xbox Game Pass?
Yes, Super Meat Boy 3D is available to play with an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with the game’s inclusion in the service confirmed last year.
After the reveal during the Xbox Game Showcase in June 2025, a post on the Xbox Wire confirmed that Super Meat Boy 3D will be available at launch with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.

At this stage, it’s unclear whether Super Meat Boy 3D is a permanent addition to the Game Pass catalogue, or whether it will only be available for a limited time.
However, the Game Pass model is not as simple as it once was, with varying tiers of membership, and new titles like Super Meat Boy 3D are not available to every tier day one.
What Game Pass Subscription Tier is Needed For Super Meat Boy 3D?
A Game Pass Ultimate subscription is expected to be required to play Super Meat Boy 3D at launch on the platform, though this is yet to be officially confirmed.
Following changes to the Game Pass tier structure, an Ultimate subscription is required to obtain day one releases on the service, which is expected to remain the case for Super Meat Boy 3D. However, the Game Pass Premium tier adds new games within 12 months of their launch.

While that provides a potential option later down the line, Ultimate is expected to be the required subscription level to play the title immediately at launch.
For those with a more basic level of Xbox Game Pass, you’ll have to splash out separately if you want to play Super Meat Boy 3D anytime soon.
