April is here, which means Microsoft has revealed the first wave of Game Pass titles. Starting today, Final Fantasy 4 is available for all tiers on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and cloud, joining its predecessors. Tomorrow sees the arrival of DayZ, the long-running zombie survival title, for PC alongside Endless Legend 2 via Game Preview and FBC: Firebreak.
The latter are already available through Ultimate and PC Game Pass but are now playable in the Premium tier. Planet Coaster 2 arrives on April 9th, followed by Tiny Bookshop on April 10th. Both games will be playable for all three subscription tiers. Meanwhile, Football Manager 26 and its Console release join Premium on April 13th.
April 14th is big for new releases with the addition of Hades 2, which also launches day-and-date on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, and Replaced, the long-awaited 2.5D side-scrolling cyberpunk platformer. If neither is to your liking, there’s also The Thaumaturge, an underrated narrative-focused RPG. Meanwhile, April 16th sees the arrival of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered for Premium and EA Sports NHL 26 on Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
Oddly enough, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the 2019 reboot, will also be available for all three tiers, followed by Little Rocket Lab, Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato, and Vampire Crawlers (based on the uber-popular Vampire Survivors) on April 21st. Double Fine’s Kiln wraps up the first wave on April 23rd, launching for Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Its open beta is set for April 9th to 11th on Steam, so there’s plenty of time to try it out for free.
Check out all the games that will be leaving on April 15th:
- Ashen (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- Grand Theft Auto 5 (Cloud, Console, and PC)
- My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery (Cloud, Console, and PC)
