Unfortunately, right now, V Rising is also not on PC Game Pass, so you also can’t play it that way, which may be disappointing if you’re a fan of creating your own little vampire empire.

If you want a taste of V Rising, however, you can get it on Steam and refund if you’ve played less than two hours within two weeks. The catch with that approach is that, being an open-world survival game, you’ll have to put a lot of time into until you really see what it has to offer. Coming to grips with the crafting elements alone will likely put you outside the two-hour window. It’s not available on disc on PS5, either so playing it and trading it is also out.

The good news is that V Rising has had free weekends, including last Halloween. There’s always a chance Stunlock Studios will repeat that, so you might be able to try it free if you can wait until October. But V Rising is not on Game Pass, either for PC or Xbox consoles.
