Xbox Game Pass April 2026 Wave 1 Titles Announced: Check Full Release Schedule

Xbox Game Pass subscribers get a packed first wave of games in April 2026, with major releases such as Final Fantasy IV, Hades II, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered arriving alongside smaller titles like Tiny Bookshop and Little Rocket Lab, while several older games leave mid‑month.

The April 2026 Wave 1 schedule covers almost every platform on the service, including Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Console, Handheld, and PC, and spreads launches across the month from 7 April to 23 April, giving players on every membership tier new options to try.

Xbox Game Pass April 2026: Games and Release Schedule

The early part of the month focuses on role‑playing, survival, sports, and management games, with many releases tagged “Now with Game Pass Premium” as they expand across tiers, while Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass continue to support most new additions in this first April wave.

Screenshots credited to Supergiant Games and Rockstar Games highlight some of the most recognised names in this list, but the line‑up also includes experimental projects, strategy sequels, and sports updates, giving Xbox Game Pass members in India and elsewhere many genres to sample across April 2026.

Subscribers who followed the recent Xbox Partner Preview presentation already saw several of these Xbox Game Pass April 2026 titles teased there, including Kiln and Hades II, while others such as Vampire Crawlers, Little Rocket Lab, and Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato appear as quieter additions without prior event focus.

Xbox Game Pass April 2026: Departures and Rotating Titles

As usual with Xbox Game Pass April 2026 changes, a batch of games will also leave the catalogue, with five titles set to rotate out on 15 April, affecting players on Cloud, Console, and PC who may want to finish campaigns or achievements before access ends.

The removal of Grand Theft Auto V will likely draw attention, but the other departing titles, including Ashen, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery, and Terra Invicta (Game Preview), also reduce options in action role‑playing, strategy, and family genres on Xbox Game Pass April 2026.

Xbox Game Pass April 2026 Wave 1 therefore delivers a long list of fresh releases across multiple tiers and platforms, balanced by a smaller number of departures, and Xbox has signalled that more surprises or early announcements may still arrive as the service approaches the first days of May 2026.
