April kicks off with a powerful move from Xbox. Nine new free games join the Xbox Game Pass library, and they’re ready to keep gamers busy all month. From high-energy battles to slow-burning mysteries, this lineup has something for every kind of player. Each title is available under various Game Pass tiers, including Ultimate, Standard, and PC.
The list begins with Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition, available from April 3. Packed with wild weapons, unpredictable humor, and endless loot, this edition includes the full base game and all expansions. Fans of action and chaos will find a favorite in this chaotic looter-shooter.
All You Need is Help joins the library the same day. It’s a cute co-op puzzle game where teamwork matters most. Shapeshifting creatures solve puzzles together in a colorful world filled with surprises.
Next comes Still Wakes the Deep, also out April 3. This one is more intense. Set on an oil rig in the North Sea, it's a horror game that doesn’t hand out weapons. Escape, hide, survive—this game keeps hearts racing with its gripping atmosphere.
For those who enjoy strategy and charming visuals, Wargroove 2 delivers a pixel-perfect adventure. Also available from April 3, it offers rich customization tools. Build maps, write stories, and craft your own campaigns while commanding an army through a world of revenge and alliances.
On April 8, two major titles arrived—Diablo III: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition and South of Midnight. The former brings the legendary dark-fantasy dungeon crawler into the hands of Game Pass players. Slay demons, gather epic loot, and choose from six hero classes to face evil head-on.
South of Midnight, developed by Compulsion Games, is a deep-rooted tale in southern folklore. Players explore strange lands and face mythical beasts. Set in a hand-crafted world, this title blends magic, myth, and memory in an emotional journey.
April 9 brings Commandos: Origins, an ultra modern reworking of the classic tactical stealth series. Six iconic characters return, all bringing individual skills and personality into play. Sharpen your tactics and lead daring missions, solo or in two-player co-op mode.
On April 10, Blue Prince makes its debut. It's not your typical game. This one invites players into a constantly shifting mansion. The gameplay lets players build the next room, one choice at a time. The eerie setting and ambient design bring a truly immersive experience.
Finally, on April 15, Hunt: Showdown 1896 arrives. Step into the swamps filled with monsters, hunters, and tension. It’s a survival shooter where every sound matters and danger lurks behind every tree.
Along with these nine games, Xbox is offering Free Play Days from April 3 to April 6. This trial includes Age of Wonders 4, Catan: Console Edition, Dead by Daylight, and Everspace 2. These can be downloaded from the Xbox Store and played without charge for that period.
These free titles cater to a wide range of players—whether action, horror, mystery, or strategy. The updates also include in-game bonuses for Asphalt Legends Unite. Expect extras like the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and card packs.
While these titles enter the spotlight, some others prepare to exit. Games like Kona, Coral Island, and Turbo Golf Racing leave on April 15. Game Pass members can use their 20% discount to keep any favorites before they go.
Xbox Game Pass continues to be a strong force in the gaming world. Offering day-one access, member perks, and a rotating catalog of top-tier titles, the service keeps value high for every kind of gamer. Whether through cloud, console, or PC, this April proves why Game Pass remains a favorite subscription for millions.
