Jump to Summary

Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is set to expand its library with several new titles in April 2024. The first of these additions is Harold Halibut, a handcrafted narrative game by Slow Bros. It is set aboard a city-sized spaceship submerged in an alien ocean and is characterized by its unique stop-motion aesthetic. This day-one launch title is expected to attract players with its engaging storyline and light puzzle gameplay.

Subscribers to the service can also look forward to the 'Fully Yoked Edition' of Obsidian's Grounded, which includes a final major update that introduces new content such as ant queens, a new game + mode, and additional gear. The update allows players to further upgrade their equipment beyond level 9.

Several other games are also joining the Game Pass lineup, including Orcs Must Die! 3, EA Sports NHL 24, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, Another Crab’s Treasure, and Manor Lords. Each title brings a different genre and gaming experience to the table, from sports simulation to strategic mayhem and expansive RPG adventures.

As the service continues to update its offerings, some titles will be leaving the Game Pass library by the end of April. Members interested in keeping these games can avail a 20% discount to purchase them before their departure. With these additions and subtractions, Xbox Game Pass aims to maintain a diverse and fresh selection of gaming experiences for its subscribers.
