Every Freebie Coming To Xbox Game Pass in April 2026

It’s a new month, which means that we have a new batch of Xbox Game Pass offerings to look forward to in April 2026, and here, we'll let you know what’s coming to the service.

Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass subscription service has long been considered the “Netflix of gaming”, and that statement continues to be true. Depending on the tier, subscribers can literally have hundreds of games to play.

Everything from first-party delights, AAA big-hitters and indie darlings, Xbox Game Pass has something for everyone. As a bonus, we also get free DLC, discounts, additional subscriptions to the likes of EA Play and more.

With that in mind, here's everything coming to Xbox Game Pass in April 2026, so far!
