Xbox Adds Major Games to Game Pass as Others Leave by April 30
Microsoft is closing out April and welcoming May with one of the most genre-diverse Xbox Game Pass updates in recent memory. From blockbuster shooters to indie horror and tactical RPGs, this new wave offers something for everyone.
Here’s what’s coming to Xbox Game Pass in late April to early May 2025:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
A visually striking turn-based RPG that blends real-time action and strategy in a Belle Époque-inspired fantasy world.
Towerborne
Co-op action adventure from Stoic Studio, where players defend humanity’s last hope — the floating city of Belfry.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
One of the most successful FPS titles of recent years makes a big splash on Game Pass.
Grand Theft Auto V
The classic open-world crime saga returns to the library once again.
Far Cry 4
Travel to the Himalayas in Ubisoft’s explosive FPS filled with wingsuits, chaos, and outposts.
Anno 1800 (Console)
Dive into city-building and industrial-age strategy with one of Ubisoft’s finest simulations.
Dredge
A creepy indie fishing sim that blends calm exploration with unsettling, Lovecraftian horror beneath the waves.
This lineup feels like a direct response to the growing demand for diversity in subscription offerings. Clair Obscur is shaping up to be a sleeper hit for RPG fans, while Modern Warfare II and GTA V deliver raw firepower for action junkies. Throw in the eerie atmosphere of Dredge and the complex systems of Anno 1800, and you’ve got a refresh that balances broad appeal with depth.
But it’s not all additions. Microsoft also confirmed that the following games will be leaving Game Pass on April 30:
Sniper Elite 5
Thirsty Suitors
The Last Case of Benedict Fox
The Rewinder
If you haven’t tried these titles yet, this is your last call.
With this update, Game Pass isn’t just padding its numbers — it’s evolving into one of the most unpredictable and exciting content libraries in gaming. Whether you’re here for quick thrills or long-haul strategy, there’s a world waiting for you this month.
