Microsoft announced a list of Xbox Game Pass titles set to join the service in early April 2025, revealing a strong lineup of first-party games, including Midnight’s South of Midnight, Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, and Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition.
It’s a very strong month detailed recently Xbox Wire post. I’ll kick off the moon with all tiers of Gearbox Software’s Bordimate Edition (cloud, console, PC) in hoping that the main batters will start on April 3rd, but all I need is Help (console), Deep (Xbox Series X | s), and Wargroove 2 (console) all remember the game pass standards. This first block is more than enough to keep the most dedicated Xbox fans busy for a month, but only May 8th, five days before midnight (cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|s) and Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition (Console and PC) arrives at all Game Pass subscribers.
South of Midnight, Crulsion Games’ Deep South Set Steet Folklore Adventure is poised to become one of Xbox’s biggest releases, and its presence on the Game Pass is undoubtedly a sight to see what players have to offer. Microsoft’s official explanation sheds more light on how to bring this month’s game pass to life.
April 9th continues with GamePas Ultimate and PC GamePass Commandos (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X | s). Blue Prince (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X | s) appears on Game Pass, PC Game Pastia will be on April 10th.
The Xbox Game Pass Perk also received a refresh for the first half of April 2025. Highlights include the first descendant, Veyond The Boid Bundle, a sweet starter pack for Candy Crush Solitaire players on mobile devices, and a 7th anniversary emote that emotes to the sea of thieves fans.
