Microsoft announced its latest wave of Xbox Game Pass titles for April 2026, and as always, the varied selection offers a little somethin’ for everyone. Xbox Game Pass subscribers will find “a whole pile of games” to choose from, says Xbox Game Pass Senior Community Lead Megan Spurr, adding that some new games were pulled right from the brand’s Partner Preview last month.
Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s sprawling subscription-based digital games catalog, gives gamers access to virtually endless titles for a monthly fee (think Netflix). The platform’s prominent offerings rotate twice monthly, bringing new and exciting games and retiring past hits. Players’ access to new uploads hinges on their selected Xbox Game Pass “tier” — Essential, Premium, or Ultimate — which costs subscribers $10, $15, or $30 per month, respectively. Xbox’s PC Game Pass plan, available for $16.49 per month, lets PC players in on the fun, too, and includes Ubisoft+ Classics, EA Play, and day-one access to Xbox-published games, along with other perks.
