Five of the top 10 most wishlisted games on Steam are coming to Xbox Game Pass as day one releases, including eagerly awaited titles such as Manor Lords and Hollow Knight: Silksong. This marks an excellent time to be an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, as Microsoft keeps adding several amazing games to its subscription service.

Microsoft has revealed the titles they’ll be adding to Xbox Game Pass on PC and consoles in early-to-mid April, and there are some solid things to dip your toes into. Subscribers can look forward to Lego 2K Drive, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the new-release indie Harold Halibut, and more.

Here are your headliner Game Pass titles for the next couple of weeks:
Lego 2K Drive (Cloud and Console) - April 3
From Wccftech’s review – “Lego 2K Drive is a nicely-polished ride, offering up unexpectedly-intense kart-racing action and a handful of diverting sandbox stages to explore. Unfortunately, the game is also a bit light on content and its aggressive microtransactions may make parents looking for something light to play with their kids pump the brakes. Lego 2K Drive is still worth considering, particularly once it goes on sale, but it feels like it’s a few bricks short of what it could have been.”
Harold Halibut (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) - April 16
“For a brief period in the 90s we had a spate of games like The Neverhood that used stop-motion-style visuals to impressive effect, but the trend eventually dried up, probably because stop-motion is such a labor-intensive thing. Well, new indie adventure Harold Halibut looks to bring stop-motion games back, and, in fact, take them to a new level. While older games in the style were simple claymation efforts, Harold Halibut looks more like a complex Henry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas, Coraline) production.”
These games will also be available in early April:
- Superhot: Mind Control Delete (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 2
- Lil Gator Game (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 4
- EA Sports PGA Tour (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S) EA Play – April 4
- Kona (Cloud and Console) – April 9
- Botany Manor (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – April 9
- Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC) – April 11

Dave the Diver (PS4, PS5) – April 16
“Dave the Diver is a unique hybrid ocean adventure that combines ocean exploration with sushi restaurant

One Of The Most Unique Games Is Now On Xbox Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass is already loaded with unique games but possibly the most visually striking is now available and users should definitely have it on their radar. As a means of keeping the Xbox player base satisfied with a constant string of new releases, in lieu of many stellar exclusive titles, Microsoft makes it a point of constantly adding inventing indie games to the ever-growing catalog of downloadable experiences. Some of these are, obviously, better than others but most of the time, they serve as a reminder of why AAA games can become tired.
