Universal added Batte at the Ministry and Mine Kart Madness to Epic universe express pass.

Signature hotels come with unlimited express pass to IOA and US.

None of the hotels include Epic Express Pass

Answer

Universal Orlando has made several updates to their Express Pass offerings recently, including some new attractions and changes in the way Express Passes are provided across their parks.

Here are the key updates:

Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure: This popular ride at Islands of Adventure (IOA) is now included in the Universal Express Pass, allowing guests to skip the regular lines for this highly sought-after attraction.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Battle at the Ministry: This new addition to the Universal Express Pass at the upcoming Epic Universe park includes the highly anticipated Battle at the Ministry ride, which will be available to Express Pass holders once the park opens.
Minions Mayhem (Universal Studios Florida): Another addition, the ride has been added to the Universal Express Pass lineup at USF, enhancing the number of attractions covered.
Signature Hotel Benefits: Guests staying at Universal Orlando's signature hotels (e.g., Hard Rock Hotel, Royal Pacific Resort, and Sapphire Falls Resort) will receive unlimited access to the Universal Express Pass for both Universal Studios Florida (USF) and Islands of Adventure (IOA) during their stay. This is a great perk for those looking to skip the regular lines at the busiest attractions.
Epic Universe and Express Pass: Currently, the Express Pass does not cover attractions in the new Epic Universe park. This includes attractions like "Battle at the Ministry" and "Mine Cart Madness," meaning you’ll need to purchase a separate express access or standard entry for this park once it's open.

Overall, the inclusion of more popular rides like Hagrid's and the updates to Epic Universe are beneficial for visitors who want to make the most of their time at Universal. However, the lack of coverage for the new Epic Universe park's attractions under the Universal Express Pass could be a consideration for future planning, especially if you are planning to spend time at both parks.

In conclusion, staying at one of Universal’s signature hotels is the best way to maximize your experience with the Universal Express Pass, but make sure to plan separately for Epic Universe attractions, as these will not be covered under the current Express Pass offerings.
