Is Escape Academy 2 on Game Pass?
Yes, on day one, for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Xbox Wire’s November 2026 wave does not name Premium or Standard. PlayStation 5 is not included.
Which tiers, which screens
The publisher’s line is “available on day one with Xbox Game Pass.” Xbox Wire’s 3 November 2026 wave-one post, and a Yahoo write-up of the same launch, both name Ultimate and PC Game Pass. I am not stretching that to every tier. If Premium gains the game later, this sentence should change, and the date on the page should change with it.
The Xbox store listing covers cloud, Series X|S, handheld and PC, with Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves. Cross-play inside the Xbox family is what that listing describes. It does not say a PlayStation owner can join an Xbox room. I leave that as unstated rather than as a feature.
There is no leaving date in the wave-one post. A Game Pass arrival is not a permanent catalog promise. The US buy price if you are not subscribed, on both the Xbox store and PlayStation, was $19.99 on 8 Nov 2026.
Questions
Is it on Game Pass Premium?
Not in the day-one announcement. Ultimate and PC Game Pass are the tiers that were named.

No. PS5 is a separate purchase.
