We are halfway through March, and it’s time to look up what are the April 2025 Xbox Game Pass Games.
An embarrassment of riches
Xbox Game Pass has had a stellar 2025 so far, with titles like Avowed, Eternal Strand,s and more already hitting the platform.
At the time of this article, we are halfway through March, and fans are wondering what is coming for April. Here is a list of everything confirmed so far.
| South of Midnight | April 8th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
| Commandos: Origins | April 9th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
| Descenders Next | April 9th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
| Blue Prince | April 10th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
| Tempopo | April 10th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
| Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | April 24th | Cloud, Console, & PC |
The big first party release is the month’s first, in South of Midnight. In our preview, we said:
In South of Midnight, you play as Hazel, who is preparing for an incoming hurricane with her mother, Lacey. After an argument, she storms out (no pun intended there, honest!). Alas, the storm hits hard, and sweeps their home into the swelling river – Lacey included. Hazel, desperate for help, sets off a mission to find her missing mother and discovers another side to the world. Our preview kicks in after these events, in Chapter 3 of the game. Hazel has discovered her Weaver abilities, and is following the spirit of a weaver from the past to learn more.
The voice-acting and writing is great with plenty of intrigue, darkness and good humour throughout, but my lord the music is a particular highlight. Towards the end of the preview, as I’m climbing the massive Man-Tree to heal his wound, a song starts to play that recaps what happened to him, and it’s brilliant. Safe to say, I’m in love with the overall presentation of the game, even if it’s admittedly doing a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping me engaged.
