Xbox Game Pass is getting yet another exciting day-one addition on April 26, but despite how incredible this game looks like it could be, there's also some cause for caution. Getting to play new games as soon as they release without a purchase is one of the biggest draws of Xbox Game Pass, which opens up a large library of games for a subscription fee. The service is available on both Xbox systems and PC, and it often makes it possible to play games on either platform.
The April 2024 slate for Xbox Game Pass has its fair share of highlights, some of which are arriving in rapid succession.

There's one other major note to make about — it's being made by a single person who's releasing the title under the name of Slavic Magic. It's a project many years in the making, and it's already obvious that it's an incredible accomplishment for a solo developer. That doesn't mean that its continued development won't still be an uphill battle, however, especially when it comes to bringing the title from PC to Xbox.
