The version coming to Xbox Game Pass includes The Modernist Pack, Designer’s Sunglasses, Hotto Stuff Pack, Aquarium Pack, Dragonlord’s Throne, Historic Headwear, and more. It’s likely a complete package with all previously released DLC.

Overall though, it’s a competent co-op game for those wanting to work towards a single goal.
The game’s developer, Square Enix, will be showcasing new games at E3 2021. Dragon Quest Builders 2 addition to the subscription service could be a sign of things to come, whether that’s more IPs moving to Xbox Game Pass or a third game in the series.
