Xbox Game Pass continues to expand its library this month with the return of blockbuster titles and a few fresh surprises. In the second wave of April 2025 additions, subscribers can expect a strong mix of high-profile re-releases, innovative indies, and genre-spanning experiences.
GTA V returns to Xbox Game Pass
Grand Theft Auto V has officially rejoined Xbox Game Pass. Both new players and longtime fans now have the chance to explore Los Santos once again. The inclusion of this massive open-world game enhances the platform’s appeal and reintroduces one of gaming’s most enduring titles. The addition covers both the single-player campaign and Grand Theft Auto Online.
PlayStation Plus owners received some bad news from Sony. In January, 11 games will be removed from PS Plus and Premium.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 debuts as a day-one release
Launching on April 24, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 brings a striking blend of turn-based and real-time combat. The game features a richly designed world inspired by Baroque-era France and follows a narrative centered around a mysterious figure known as the Paintress. Available to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members, this title adds narrative depth and stylistic flair to the April lineup.
More April releases diversify the selection
Alongside the headline titles, several other games are arriving to broaden the catalog. These include:
- Neon White – A lightning-fast action-platformer where players slay demons in Heaven using guns and parkour.
- Tempopo – A musical puzzle game with hand-crafted challenges.
- Crime Scene Cleaner – A darkly humorous simulation game about cleaning up after crimes.
- The Patrick Star Show – A whimsical, animated side adventure in the SpongeBob universe.
This range ensures there’s something for every type of player, from platforming fans to strategy lovers.
What’s next for Xbox Game Pass
Looking ahead, more titles are already on the calendar. Towerborne enters Game Preview on April 29, offering co-op action in a colorful post-apocalyptic world. On April 30, Far Cry 4 joins the service, bringing players back to the dangerous terrain of Kyrat.
With these additions, Xbox Game Pass strengthens its reputation as a top-tier subscription service. The variety and consistency in its offerings keep gamers engaged and make each month feel fresh.
