One such game is TCG Card Shop Simulator, a game that entered its preview state via Xbox Game Pass last month. This indie title has already proven to be a hit amongst players, who have expressed their love for it. In a post made by a Reddit user, they mention how TCG Card Shop Simulator has taken over their free time, saying that they “love it.”
Xbox Game Pass Gamers Are Loving This New Sim
TCG Card Shop Simulator Has Players Hooked
The Reddit user responsible for the post mentions that they aren’t getting into the collectible aspect of the game, and are currently only focusing on making the shop work, increasing profits, and getting cards graded. Other Reddit users express similar feelings about TCG Card Shop Simulator, which was added to Xbox Game Pass in Wave 2 in February. For example, Reddit user vicsark agrees with the original post, saying that it has an “incredibly addictive gameplay loop.”
Another user, meatgoat36, makes a funny revelation. They say that they booted the indie simulator via cloud gaming, assuming they’d play it for 20 minutes and never again. They then reveal that their shop is on day 54 and that they are “hooked.” TCG Card Shop Simulator didn’t get much advertisement when it arrived on the service, but it does seem to have a grasp on players who check it out. Overall, it feels like a hidden gem on Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox Game Pass Is Enjoying A Strong 2026 So Far
Several Huge Games Already Arrived On The Service
Even though it didn’t get the spotlight it seems to deserve, TCG Card Shop Simulator is seemingly one of the many great games that have joined the subscription service this year. In January, Microsoft made the original Final Fantasy, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 free on the catalog. In February, there was the praised arrival of High on Life 2 on Xbox Game Pass, as well as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
There are even more titles set to arrive in March, as there are still a few more titles to arrive, and Wave 2 has not even been revealed yet. Furthermore, this is just the first quarter of what seems like a promising year for Xbox Game Pass.
