Two decades after the series' first instalment, Resistance takes things to new heights (quite literally, if you're shooting from a rooftop).

We're in the shoes of familiar ally Harry Hawker (this time the main protagonist), assisting the French Resistance in Paris. With new weapons and a time-based mode, this one looks like a blast.

So when exactly can we play it? And is Sniper Elite: Resistance coming to Xbox Game Pass?

Let's take a look.

Sniper Elite: Resistance release date and UK launch time

Sniper Elite: Resistance drops today - 30th January 2025.

And if you're wondering about the exact time, in the UK it will launch at 2pm GMT. We're almost there, snipers.

So your time as a French resistance fighter can begin as soon as you finish work or school. Prepare for that grizzly x-ray detail!

Is Sniper Elite: Resistance coming to Xbox Game Pass?

If you're a Game Pass subscriber, then you're in luck. Sniper Elite: Resistance is indeed coming to Game Pass after it's released.

Bear in mind that you'll need the highest tier (Ultimate) to play.

So you will need to upgrade if you're on the lower two plans.

Which platforms can play Sniper Elite: Resistance?

Sniper Elite: Resistance will release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One.

It's very nice of Rebellion Developments to still be including previous generations of Xbox and PlayStation. It's also cross-play across all platforms.

Unfortunately, it's not coming to the Switch, though. But if there are any developments there, we'll be sure to let you know.
