Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Joins Xbox Game Pass – Plus, New Expansion Incoming!
The Emperor Protects—and so does Xbox Game Pass! Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the epic CRPG from Owlcat Games, has officially landed on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox Series X/S and PC. That means if you’re a Game Pass subscriber, you can dive into the deep, decision-driven world of the Koronus Expanse for free! Even better? Whether you play on PC or console via the Microsoft Store, your saves will transfer seamlessly.
What is Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader?
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a turn-based CRPG set in the grim darkness of the far future. You take on the role of a Rogue Trader, a powerful and unique individual in the Imperium of Man—a vast, galaxy-spanning human civilization struggling against xenos, heretics, and existential horrors. Part free explorer, part star merchant, and part feudal overlord, a Rogue Trader operates on the fringes of known space, answering only to the Emperor Himself. Unlike most Imperials bound by strict laws and hierarchy, you have the rare freedom to navigate beyond the Imperium’s rigid structures, making choices that shape the fate of entire systems.
Your journey begins as the heir to a Rogue Trader dynasty, traveling aboard the mighty voidship of your patron and distant relative, Theodora von Valancius. However, following the events of the Prologue, you will soon find yourself inheriting not only the dynasty but also its burdens and responsibilities. What kind of leader will you become?
A Million Copies and Counting!
Owlcat Games is riding high on Rogue Trader’s success. Since its launch, the game has sold over a million copies across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, proving that players are more than ready to navigate the grimdark universe as a Rogue Trader. Whether you’re enforcing the Emperor’s will or cutting your own path through the stars, the game’s mix of classic CRPG mechanics, rich storytelling, and the ever-lurking horrors of the Immaterium has struck a chord with fans.
What’s Next? Expansion #2 – Lex Imperialis
If you’ve already conquered the Koronus Expanse and carved out your legend, hold on to your power armor—more content is on the way. Owlcat Games has announced Lex Imperialis, the game’s second major expansion. This time, your Lord Captain teams up with a new companion from the Adeptus Arbites, diving deep into the murky world of Imperial law enforcement and tithes. Expect massive new areas, fresh mechanics, new archetypes, and, of course, more unspeakable horrors from the Warp. The expansion is set to release later this year, with more details coming soon.
