The Xbox team has revealed this morning the next wave of games coming to its Game Pass service in April. The headliners are Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Lego 2K Drive, but there are also two new games that will be launching on Game Pass on day one this month.
Lego 2K Drive is a Lego-themed open world racing game that was released on consoles and PCs back in May 2023. It will be available on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming tomorrow, April 3, but it’s won’t be coming to PC Game Pass.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, however, will join Rise of the Tomb Raider on the Game Pass library on April 11. The latest episode in the rebooted Tomb Raider trilogy was previously added to Game Pass back in 2019, but the version that’s coming back to the service is the Definitive Edition with all the additional challenge tombs, weapons, and outfits.
Another game coming back to Game Pass this month is the adventure game Kona, which will be available on April 9, though it also won’t be coming to PC Game Pass. The other additions to the Game Pass library this month include Lil Gator Game, EA Sports PGA Tour (only for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate via EA Play), and the two day-one additions I mentioned earlier: The puzzle game Botany Manor and the narrative game Harold Halibut.
You can find below the full list of upcoming Game Pass games with their availability dates:
Six games will also leave the Game Pass library on April 15: The list includes Amnesia Collection, Amnesia: Rebirth, Back 4 Blood, Phantom Abyss, Research and Destroy, and Soma, and as usual, members can purchase them with a 20% discount before they disappear from the library.
Lastly, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate can enjoy three free months of YouTube Premium ($42 value) starting today. The free code can be redeemed from the Perks section of the Xbox Game Pass page on the Xbox dashboard.
