Microsoft has a little treat for your Monday blues: A purple dragon is on the way. Specifically, Spyro Reignited Trilogy will come to Xbox Game Pass (Standard and Ultimate) tomorrow, November 12. The package contains the first three games in the franchise–Spyro the Dragon, Ripto’s Rage, and Year of the Dragon–and gives them a visual overhaul.
Considering Game Pass additions for November were just revealed last week, Microsoft seems to have been hiding Spyro Reignited Trilogy under its wings as a surprise. It’s the latest game from the company’s Activision Blizzard acquisition to join the subscription service.

That acquisition also led to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launching day-one on Game Pass. So far, the latest entry in the FPS franchise is off to a record-setting debut. Black Ops 6’s availability on the subscription service is also helping bring back lapsed players, according to the game’s creative director Miles Leslie.
As for the purple dragon, Spyro Reignited Trilogy originally launched in 2018 for PS4 and Xbox One. Then, a year later in 2019, the remade Spyro games came to Nintendo Switch and PC. The original games were exclusive to PlayStation (1998-2000), with the purple dragon serving as a mascot for the Sony system at the time.
