April is here, spring is in full swing in the northern hemisphere, and what better way to celebrate the changing season than with more games for your backlog? Microsoft just announced the next wave of games coming to their Game Pass service starting from tomorrow, and there’s some major inclusions from massive franchises like Call of Duty and The Elder Scrolls, along with some big indie gems.
Perhaps the biggest name coming to Game Pass this month is Hades II, which will be making its debut on April 14 to Game Pass subscribers of all tiers. A few days later, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered will be added to the Premium tier, following its current availability on the Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers.
The remake of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be coming to all Game Pass tiers on April 17, and the month is capped out with indie hits Vampire Crawlers and Kiln celebrating their same-day launch onto Game Pass on April 21 and April 23 respectively. If you missed the mid-March update, be sure to check that list too!
