Highlights
- April 2 might turn out to be a big day for Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
- It will include new game additions and, almost certainly, the April 2024 Wave 1 announcement as well.
- Xbox Game Pass subscribers should stay tuned to learn more about the April 2024 lineup.
This coming Tuesday, April 2, is set to be an exciting day for Xbox Game Pass subscribers as that's the day that some new games are coming to the service, as well as the most likely day that more titles will be revealed for the April 2024 lineup. It's always possible that Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass reveal plans will change, but it's doubtful.
There are times when Microsoft deviates from its established practices when it comes to Xbox Game Pass, but generally speaking, subscribers have a pretty good idea of when to expect the big announcements. Most of the time, Microsoft makes Xbox Game Pass announcements every two weeks. It also likes to make the Wave 1 announcements as close to the beginning of the month as possible, with the reveals often landing on a Tuesday.
Xbox Game Pass Adds 3 Games, Including a Day One Release
Xbox Game Pass caps off March 2024 with the addition of three new games spanning just as many genres, including one promising day-one release.
When Microsoft announced the Wave 2 Xbox Game Pass games for March 2024, it included some of the early April games in the announcement. Besides the new Xbox Game Pass games for March 2024, Microsoft also pointed to Ark: Survival Ascended coming on April 1, Superhot: Mind Control Delete coming on April 2, along with the Cloud version of F1 23 for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. The announcement stopped at April 2, meaning that April 2 is also the likely day that the next Xbox Game Pass announcement will come, detailing the other games coming in the first half of April 2024.
Why April 2 is Going to Be a Big Day for Xbox Game Pass Subscribers
- New Xbox Game Pass Additions: Superhot Mind Control Delete and the Cloud version of F1 23
- What else? April 2024 Xbox Game Pass Wave 1 announcement
Thanks to release date announcements, six other Xbox Game Pass games have been confirmed for April 2024 outside of Microsoft's official blog posts. April 4 will see the debut of Turbo Golf Racing's 1.0 update, while Botany Manor is coming on April 9. Harold Halibut is joining Xbox Game Pass on April 16, followed by Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes on April 23, Another Crab's Treasure on April 25, and Manor Lords on April 26.
The Game Pass library will surely expand in April 2024, but more options sometimes lead to more confusion as to which games are worth your time. So, we've created a list to discuss some of the best games that are available on Game Pass right now; surely check it out if you're looking for some help.
There will almost certainly be even more new Xbox Game Pass games for the first half of April that just haven't been revealed yet, and so that's why Xbox Game Pass subscribers will want to circle April 2 on their calendars. Beyond the new additions coming that day, it will also be the day that subscribers will get a much better idea of what to expect from the April 2024 lineup.
It won't all be good news, however. It's highly likely that April 2 will also be the day that the departing Xbox Game Pass games for April 2024 will be highlighted as well, so subscribers should keep that in mind.
