What Happened
Microsoft revealed the upcoming games for its Xbox Game Pass subscription service for April and May. Additions begin on April 21 with 'Little Rocket Lab,' 'Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato,' and 'Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors.' More titles join throughout the month, including the pottery-based party brawler 'Kiln' on April 23, the narrative space adventure 'Aphelion' on April 28, and 'Trepang2' on April 29. The final April additions on the 30th are 'Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era (Game Preview),' 'Sledding Game (Game Preview),' and 'TerraTech Legion.' 'Final Fantasy 5' will join the service on May 5. Nine games will leave Xbox Game Pass on April 30.
Why this Matters to You
If you are a Game Pass subscriber, your library of included games is about to change. You may gain access to new titles you want to try without an additional purchase, but you also might lose access to games you have been playing. This could affect your entertainment choices and budget for new games. To avoid losing progress, you may want to prioritize finishing any of the nine departing titles, like 'Citizen Sleeper' or 'Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2,' before April 30.
What's Next
The new games will be added to the service on their specified dates, and the nine listed titles will be removed on April 30. Microsoft is likely to announce the next wave of Game Pass additions and removals for late May and June in the coming weeks.
