Highlights
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes has launched day one on Xbox Game Pass.
- Xbox Game Pass Core added three more games to its selection: Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot, and Wreckfest
- Core members get access to a changing catalog of over 25+ games at the same price as Xbox Live Gold.
Xbox Game Pass is making four more games available to subscribers, including a day-one launch title and three additions for Core members. Xbox Game Pass Core, which launched in September 2023, replaced Xbox Live Gold and did away with the two free games subscribers received each month. Instead, for the same price, Core offers a catalog of more than 25 games for members to enjoy at their leisure, and the selection of titles changes about two to three times per year.
In addition to the appeal of Xbox Game Pass Core, PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers also get access to many titles on launch day. The day one game coming to Game Pass on May 9 is Little Kitty, Big City, an open-world adventure that puts players in the role of an adorable black cat lost in the city. On August 8, subscribers will gain access to SteamWorld Heist 2 on launch day. The turn-based adventure game stars Captain Leeway and his crew as they set out to discover why water has suddenly become deadly.
Xbox Game Pass: Games That Can Be Beaten In Under 5 Hours
These Xbox Game Pass games are short and sweet.
Before those two releases, though, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can try out Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes when it launches day one on April 23. A role-playing game directed and produced by Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is already getting great reviews, sitting at a “Strong” rating on OpenCritic and “Generally Favorable” on Metacritic at the time of writing. The Suikoden spiritual successor got its start as a Kickstarter project and is being praised for its epic adventure and huge cast of characters that harken back to the days of classic JRPGs.
Xbox Game Pass End of April 2024
Deep Rock Galactic | April 23 | Xbox Game Pass Core |
Superhot: Mind Control Delete | April 23 | Xbox Game Pass Core |
Wreckfest | April 23 | Xbox Game Pass Core |
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes | April 23 | Day One Launch |
Another Crab's Treasure | April 25 | Day One Launch |
Fallout 4 | April 25 | Free Next-Gen Update |

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor | April 26 | |
Have A Nice Death | April 30 |
Xbox Game Pass Core is also adding three games on April 23: Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Wreckfest. These titles have already been part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog, but Wreckfest was removed in May 2022, so fans should be happy to see it making a return to the subscription service.
One of the perks (and downsides, depending on how it’s viewed) of Xbox Game Pass is that the games are regularly removed and replaced with new titles. Alongside Have a Nice Death, the unique and whimsical Soulslike game Another Crab’s Treasure will be launching day one on April 30, but Xbox Game Pass will also be losing six games that same day, including Ravenlok and 7 Days to Die.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest tier of Microsoft's flagship game subscription service that offers over 100 game titles that you can play with a single purchase, making it one of the most outstanding value propositions of the Xbox ecosystem to date.
