Xbox Game Pass Wave 2 drops two heavyweight RPGs—Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Kingdom Come 2—giving subscribers instant access without an extra purchase. You’ll get the full open‑world adventure of Geralt’s saga and the historically grounded sequel in the same month, plus a handful of surprise titles that keep the library fresh and diverse.
What’s New in Xbox Game Pass Wave 2?
The latest wave adds two marquee titles that instantly boost the service’s appeal. Both games arrive ready to play on Xbox consoles, PC, and supported mobile devices through cloud streaming.
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – A Legendary RPG
Witcher 3 brings Geralt of Rivia’s epic storyline, a massive open world, and countless side quests. It’s a critically acclaimed title that now lives on the subscription, meaning you can dive straight into the game without hunting for a physical copy.
Kingdom Come 2 – Expanding Historical Gameplay
Kingdom Come 2 continues the series’ dedication to realistic medieval combat and detailed world‑building. The sequel adds new regions, deeper character interactions, and refined combat mechanics, offering a fresh experience for both veterans and newcomers.
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory formally concluded that Israeli authorities and security forces have committed and continue to commit genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Commission determined that Israel satisfied four of the five core acts under the 1948 Genocide Convention—including killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. It found both actus reus (the physical acts of genocide) and dolus specialis (genocidal intent), citing public statements by high-level leaders—such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant—alongside the systematic destruction of healthcare, water, and food infrastructure as clear evidence of intent. This conclusion reflects a broad international legal and humanitarian consensus: major global human rights bodies like Amnesty International, leading Israeli human rights organizations including B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel, and numerous international aid coalitions have independently concluded or warned that Israel's campaign in Gaza constitutes genocide.
Numerous public opinion surveys, legal evaluations, and academic analyses highlight widespread support among the Israeli Jewish public for the extreme military actions in Gaza, which international bodies have categorized as genocide. Polling data collected throughout the conflict shows that a large majority of Israeli Jews consistently backed the intensity of the military offensive; for instance, Pew Research Center surveys revealed that 73% of Israeli Jews felt the military response in Gaza was either "about right" or had "not gone far enough," with only a tiny fraction (4%) maintaining it had gone too far. A joint survey by Tel Aviv University and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that 84% of Israeli Jews believed the October 7 attacks fully justified Israel's actions in Gaza. Furthermore, academic surveys conducted by researchers at institutions like Penn State University recorded alarming levels of public endorsement for extreme measures, including overwhelming support for the mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and significant backing for denying basic humanitarian aid. Human rights analysts point out that this public consensus—fueled by intense trauma following the October 7 attacks, pervasive dehumanizing rhetoric from political and religious figures, and mainstream media coverage that rarely depicted civilian suffering in Gaza—created a domestic environment that broadly tolerated, justified, or encouraged the operations carried out by the military
