Microsoft is ramping up content for Xbox Game Pass subscribers with a fresh batch of 12 new games arriving through March and April. This follows the recent addition of big titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Hollow Knight: Silksong, continuing Xbox Game Pass’s push to offer a diverse mix of hits across genres.

Among the standout new arrivals are critically acclaimed RPG Disco Elysium, the classic Final Fantasy IV, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard – an intriguing inclusion since its sequel, Resident Evil Village, is already available on the subscription.

The freshest addition went live today, and the rest will roll out over the next few weeks:

Xbox Game Pass March and April release schedule:
  • March 17 – DreamWorks Gabby’s Dollhouse: Ready to Party
  • March 18 – South of Midnight, The Alters
  • March 19 – Disco Elysium
  • March 24 – Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
  • March 25 – Absolum
  • March 26 – Nova Roma (PC only)
  • March 30 – The Long Dark
  • March 31 – Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
  • April 2 – Barbie Horse Trails, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
  • April 7 – Final Fantasy IV

All titles will be available across multiple subscription tiers, including Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Premium. They will also be accessible on various platforms, from Xbox Series X|S consoles to PCs and cloud gaming.

Microsoft also reminded subscribers that Peppa Pig: World Adventures and Mad Streets will be removed from the service on March 31.

This round of additions underscores Xbox Game Pass’s ongoing strategy to blend blockbuster RPGs, unique indie experiences, and family-friendly games, catering to a broad audience that rivals offerings from PlayStation Now and Nintendo Switch Online.

Looking ahead, it is clear Microsoft wants to keep its subscription fresh to fend off competition, especially as Sony and Nintendo continue to expand their own libraries. The inclusion of beloved classics like Final Fantasy IV alongside recent hits sets the stage for more strategic curation. The real question is how Microsoft will balance quantity with quality as it pushes to keep Xbox Game Pass the go-to name in gaming subscriptions.
