Overall, Xbox Game Pass usually announces its games for the month a few days before it begins. That’s the case for April anyway, and most months since the program started. Well, the fun thing is that an openness to all sorts of games means that additions can come out of nowhere. That’s right: additional game pass titles for April are on the way. To begin, here’s what you can soon download on Xbox One consoles for free if you subscribe to this service.
What Additional Game Pass Titles for April are Coming?
The ID@Xbox program lets developers release their games to Xbox Game Pass to reach massive amounts of players from the get-go. A few of those titles are ready a bit sooner than Microsoft anticipated, so the company is releasing these titles ahead of the typical “new month” rollout. Without further ado, here are the five additional Game Pass titles for April you can soon download.
The Long Dark – April 16

The incredible challenges that await in this game make you really rethink how you play these types of games. Across an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster, explore and survive a world unlike anything we’ve seen before in gaming. You can play The Long Dark starting April 16.
