As was previously leaked, the critically-acclaimed 2023 action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is coming to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on Thursday, April 25. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate features a number of exclusive perks to help justify its higher cost compared to the other Game Pass tiers, with one of the big selling points being its access to the EA Play library of games.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Adds 2 New Games, One With Amazing Reviews
04.04.2024 - 08:57 / gamerant.com / Ea Sports / Xbox Game Pass / Harold Halibut / Dominik Bo
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has added Lil Gator Game and EA Sports PGA Tour to its content library. Aside from this pair of arrivals, another Xbox Game Pass title is leaving the Game Preview program today, meaning it's about to receive a rather substantial 1.0 update.
EA Sports PGA Tour and Lil Gator Game bring the total number of April 2024 additions to Microsoft's subscription service up to six. Xbox Game Pass has already added LEGO 2K Drive, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, F1 23, and Ark: Survival Ascended since the turn of the month.
Of the new releases at hand, only Lil Gator Game is available across all tiers of the service bar Xbox Game Pass Core. Meanwhile, EA Sports PGA Tour requires the EA Play add-on, which is an exclusive perk of the Ultimate-tier subscription. That said, the more widely available of the two titles also happens to be the more critically acclaimed one, as Lil Gator Game presently boasts Metacritic Metascores ranging from 80 to 84, while EA Sports PGA Tour's ratings are in the mid-70s. Likewise, while EA's golf sim has «Mixed» user reviews on Steam, Lil Gator Game's player impressions on Valve's platform are in the «Overwhelmingly Positive» territory, with many fans proclaiming it to be one of the best open-world action platformers in recent memory.

Although Lil Gator Game has clearly been designed with the youngest audiences in mind, it still promises an adventure that can be enjoyed by all ages. That's partially because this MegaWobble-developed title takes a lot of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda series, especially its recent open-world entries. So, while the ultimate goal of the game is to decorate a cozy island and find some friends to play with, those fairly low stakes are still charmingly framed like an epic adventure, as if viewed through the eyes of a child.
Besides Lil Gator Game and EA Sports PGA Tour, the April 4 Xbox Game
