Game Pass members who purchase the $9 Premium Edition Upgrade will also get 5 days of early access.

The two other games coming to Game Pass on day one in April are the architectural adventure game Blue Prince and the real-time tactics title Commandos: Origins. The latest is a brand new episode in the video game series that launched on PC back in 1998 with Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.
