Microsoft revealed today the second wave of games coming to the Game Pass library in April. The headliner is Minecraft Legends, the latest Xbox Game Studios title that is launching today on Game Pass for Console, PC, and Cloud.
Minecraft Legends is an action-strategy game that supports cross-platform multiplayer with up to 8 players. Just like Minecraft Dungeons before it, it’s also being released on PlayStation consoles and the Nintendo Switch, but Game Pass subscribers get to play it for free on day one.

On May 2, Redfall will be the next Xbox Game Studios to land on Xbox Game Pass on day one. The game received some bad PR last week when its developer revealed that a 60FPS Performance mode will need to wait for a post-launch update, so players who want to play console players who want to play it at launch will have to deal with a 30FPS limit. This is quite uncommon for a shooter launching on 9th-generation consoles, but this is how it is.
Lastly, Microsoft also announced that five games will leave the Game Pass library on April 30. The list includes Bugsnax, Destroy All Humans!, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Tetris Effect Connected, and Unsouled. As usual, you can take advantage of up to 20% discounts on these games before they get removed from Game Pass.
