Is Tekken 8 on Xbox Game Pass?
No, and it won't be there on release day. Since Tekken 7 was included in Xbox Game Pass after a few years, then it could be expected that the game may come in the future. Don't expect it to stay forever though, as even Tekken 7 was removed after some time.
Is Tekken 8 on PS Plus?
No, not at the moment. Since the previous games were included in PS Plus, then maybe Tekken 8 will be included a few years down the line.
Is Tekken 8 on Nintendo Switch Online?
No, the game will not be available for Nintendo Switch Online.
