Microsoft has unveiled an exciting lineup of Xbox Game Pass titles set to join the service in the first half of April 2025. This robust selection includes both first- and third-party games such as South of Midnight, Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition, and more.
The month kicks off with a bang, as detailed in a recent Xbox Wire post. Starting tomorrow, April 3, subscribers can dive into Gearbox Software's Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, available on Cloud, Console, and PC across all tiers. Joining the fray on the same day are All You Need Is Help (Console), Still Wakes the Deep (Xbox Series X | S), and Wargroove 2 (Console), all accessible via Game Pass Standard. This initial wave promises plenty of entertainment to keep even the most avid Xbox fans engaged throughout the month. However, the excitement doesn't stop there, as South of Midnight (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X | S) and Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition (Console and PC) will be available for all Game Pass subscribers starting April 8.
South of Midnight, developed by Compulsion Games, is set in the Deep South and is poised to be one of Xbox's major releases this year. Microsoft describes it as an opportunity to "Explore the mythos and confront mysterious creatures of the Deep South in this modern folktale while learning to weave an ancient power to surmount obstacles and face the pain haunting your hometown." This title is sure to draw in a large number of players eager to experience its unique narrative and gameplay.
Following closely, April 9 sees the addition of Commandos: Origins (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X | S) for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. The next day, April 10, brings Blue Prince (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X | S) to the same tiers. Rounding out the Wave 1 additions, Hunt: Showdown 1896 (PC) will join Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on April 15.
In addition to the new games, Xbox Game Pass perks are also getting a refresh for the first half of April 2025. Notable perks include the Beyond the Void Bundle for The First Descendant, the Sweet Starter Pack for Candy Crush Solitaire on mobile devices, and an anniversary Seventh Serving Emote for Sea of Thieves fans. Below is the complete list of titles coming to Game Pass in the first half of April 2025.
