Microsoft has unveiled a substantial wave of new titles for Xbox Game Pass arriving throughout the first half of April, bringing a diverse and impressive roster of more than a dozen games to console, PC, cloud, and handheld platforms. This update is notably packed with high-profile day-one releases, including the much-anticipated sequel Hades 2 and the visually striking retro-futuristic action title Replaced. The service will be enhanced by a total of eighteen new additions over the coming weeks, alongside the confirmed departures of several games mid-month. This article provides a comprehensive breakdown of all incoming titles, their availability across different Game Pass tiers, and the games leaving the catalog.<\/p>\n
The new games will be staggered throughout April, starting immediately. The list includes both brand-new releases and beloved classics, ensuring variety for subscribers. Below is the full schedule of arrivals.<\/p>\n
\nFinal Fantasy IV<\/strong> \u2013 April 7 (Available in Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass. Playable on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) \nFootball Manager 26<\/strong> \u2013 April 13 (New to Game Pass Premium, already in Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass; Playable on PC) \nCall of Duty: Modern Warfare<\/strong> \u2013 April 17 (Available in Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass; Playable on Cloud, Console, and PC) The April update is headlined by two significant day-one inclusions. Hades 2<\/strong>, the sequel to Supergiant Games’ critically acclaimed action rogue-like, makes its anticipated debut on Xbox Series X|S and will be available across all major Game Pass tiers. Similarly, Replaced<\/strong>, a cinematic action-adventure game set in a 1980s retro-futuristic world, joins the service on both console and PC from its release date. These additions underscore Microsoft’s commitment to bringing premier titles to subscribers immediately upon launch, maximizing the value of the subscription.<\/p>\n As is customary with each catalog refresh, a selection of games will also depart from Game Pass. Xbox has confirmed that on April 15, the following five titles will be removed: Ashen<\/strong>, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes<\/strong>, Grand Theft Auto V<\/strong>, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery<\/strong>, and Terra Invicta<\/strong>. Members wishing to keep these games can purchase them at a discount of up to 20% before they leave the service.<\/p>\n The new arrivals are distributed across the various Game Pass subscription plans (Ultimate, Premium, PC, and Essential), with specific notes on which tier gets “new” access versus continued availability. Crucially, the list highlights the expanding multi-platform support, with many games playable on Cloud, Xbox consoles, PC, and increasingly, on Handheld devices like the Xbox Portable or supported Windows handhelds. This reflects the growing emphasis on flexibility and device-agnostic gaming within the Xbox ecosystem.<\/p>\n This robust April lineup demonstrates Xbox Game Pass’s ongoing strategy to blend blockbuster releases with niche gems and celebrated remasters, catering to a wide spectrum of player interests. From the intense action of Hades 2 and Replaced to the strategic depth of Football Manager 26 and the nostalgic return of Oblivion Remastered, the service continues to offer a compelling and ever-evolving library that justifies its position as a leading gaming subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Microsoft has unveiled a substantial wave of new titles for Xbox Game Pass arriving throughout the first half of April, bringing a diverse and impressive roster of more than a dozen games to console, PC, cloud, and handheld platforms.
