Microsoft Announces More Game Pass and Game Pass Core Games for April

Microsoft has just revealed the second wave of games coming to the Game Pass library in April. For Xbox Game Pass Core (previously Xbox Live Gold) members, the company will also be adding three new titles to the Game Pass Core library on April 23.

After Diablo IV came to Xbox Game Pass in PC Game Pass in March, Microsoft doesn’t seem in a hurry to add more Activision Blizzard games to the library. However, three new games will be launching on Game Pass on day one later this month, including the JRPG title Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and the soulslike adventure Another Crab’s Treasure. Manor Lords, an upcoming medieval strategy game will also come to PC Game Pass on day one via the Game Preview program.

You can find the full list of new Game Pass games coming in April below:

• Harold Halibut (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – Available today
• Orcs Must Die! 3 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 17
• EA Sports NHL 24 (Console via EA Play) – April 18
• Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 23, available on day one with Game Pass
• Another Crab’s Treasure (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 25, available on day one with Game Pass
• Manor Lords (Game Preview) (PC) – April 26, available on day one with Game Pass
• Have A Nice Death (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 30

Six games will also leave the Game Pass library on April 30: The list includes 7 Days to Die, Besiege, EA Sports NHL 22, Loot River, Pikuniku, and Ravenlok. As usual, these games can be purchased with a 20% discount before they disappear from the library.

Xbox Game Pass Core members only have access to a catalog of over 25 games as of today, but they’re getting three new titles on April 23: Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Wreckfest. Microsoft previously said that it would add and remove games from that smaller library multiple times a year.
