F1 23
After initially releasing for Game Pass PC and Console, F1 23 makes its way to Game Pass Cloud, allowing you to play the game on the go. And, it’s perfect timing before F1 24 releases in May!
Superhot: Mind Control Delete
Previously on Game Pass, Superhot: Mind Control Delete is making its way back to Game Pass. Offering a roguelike spin on the formula, there is a whole lot of killing, dodging, and weapons to be thrown across a ton of different levels and against a variety of different enemies.
LEGO 2K Drive
2K’s first LEGO game in an extended partnership, LEGO 2K Drive offers a wide and varied world for you to explore, complete quests in, and of course race around with your friends. Whether you are looking for a new LEGO title to keep you hooked or want a fun arcade racer, LEGO 2K Drive is a solid option.
Lil Gator Game
As a cute little gator, you will embark on a quest and make new friends as you climb, swim, slide, and explore an island, winning over the hearts of the people you meet along the way.
EA Sports PGA Tour
The return of EA’s classic golfing series is finally making its way to Game Pass a year after its release. The title is available across PC, Cloud, and console, although only for Xbox Series X|S and features a host of courses and golfers, as well as the chance to become a Major champion yourself.
Turbo Golf Racing
After an extended period of time in early access, the competitive rocket-powered battle car golf game will hit 1.0 in early April and be available on Game Pass at the same time. With a host of courses, unlockable items, and more there is a ton of fun to be had as you compete against your friends and improve your skills in online matches.
Kona
Returning to Game Pass after a hiatus, Kona takes place in Atamipek Lake as a strange blizzard has ravaged the area. Stepping into the shoes of a detective, you will explore the eerie village, battle the elements to survive, and investigate strange events.
Botany Manor
Set in a stately home in 19th century England, you play as Arabella Greene, a retired botanist tasked with exploring the house and understanding the flora throughout its gardens and rooms. Each plant grants mysterious properties and qualities and it is your job to discover them and improve your botany skills further.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
Closing out the latest trilogy of games, Shadow of the Tomb Raider takes Lara to a deadly jungle where she has to stop the oncoming Maya apocalypse. The Definitive Edition also includes all the DLC challenge tombs, downloadable weapons, outfits, skills, and more!
Harold Halibut
After 10 years of development, this wildly unique adventure game is finally hitting Xbox and Game Pass. It’s been 250 years since your home – an ark-like spaceship – fled an Earth on the verge of cold war to find a habitable planet to preserve the human race.
As Harold, a young lab assistant for the ship’s lead scientist, Jeanne Mareaux, you work tirelessly to find a way for the ship to leave the planet and find a new, dryer home. But the weird, wonderful and diverse people of the FEDORA I keep Harold busy too… Until one fateful encounter plunges Harold into a world no one could have imagined – and one that may hold the key to Mareaux’s re-launch plans.
Orcs Must Die! 3
Released more than two years ago, Orcs Must Die! 3 makes its way to Game Pass. You will work alone or with up to two friends to arm yourself with a massive arsenal of weapons and traps to slice, zap, and kill as many orcs as possible.
NHL 24
This year’s NHL game finally makes its way to Game Pass with a host of modes to play, players to collect in Ultimate Team, and a variety of performance upgrades to deliver the most realistic on-ice experience.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
The long-awaited spiritual successor to Suikoden is finally arriving in April and it is looking stunning. The game has you leading 100+ playable characters through a war-torn world that only you can save by combining your skills, abilities, and individual strengths.
Another Crab’s Treasure
By now you have probably played a soulslike, but have you ever played an underwater soulslike where you play as a crab? No, you haven’t. Well, Another Crab’s Treasure will solve that for you and deliver a fun, tough, and hilarious experience where you use a host of different shells that grant you unique powers to make your way across the bed of the ocean.
Manor Lords
If you have ever wanted to be a medieval lord then Manor Lords is the game for you. The strategy game allows you to grow your village into a bustling city running on production chains, horse and cart deliveries, allotments, with soldiers to protect that rural metropolis. A host of customisation systems, management systems, city-building gameplay mechanics, and more allow you to craft the land of your dreams as your settlement grows each week.
Have A Nice Death
This quirky 2D roguelike sees you play as a tired and overworked Death whose employees have run rampant. Your job is to show them who is boss and balance the souls after they have been thrown off kilter thanks to their antics.
That covers everything you can expect from Xbox Game Pass this month, but we’ll update this as more games are announced. For even more on the service check out the current plan for Call of Duty games on Game Pass now that Microsoft owns Activision.
