Is The Day Before On Game Pass?
No, not at this time. The Day Before is currently exclusive to the Steam Store, and no announcements have been made regarding inclusion in the Microsoft Game Store or Game Pass. Nor has there been any indication of an Epic Games Store or GOG release at this time.
When Does The Day Before Come To Consoles?

What Is The Day Before?
The Day Before is an MMO survival game based in the post-pandemic open-world of the US East Coast, not unlike Ubisoft’s The Division. Aside from contending with a variety of zombies, players will also have to either best or befriend humans, both AI and real, while scrounging for supplies and crafting items. Vehicular gameplay adds another layer to the sandbox experience. All in all, The Day Before evokes several other similar games, including DayZ and Dying Light among others, but sets itself apart with its post-apocalyptic rendering of real-world New York City.
