According to a recent Xbox Wire post, the lineup promises to be a blockbuster month.

The same day also sees the addition of All You Need Is Help (Console), Still Wakes the Deep (Xbox Series X | S), and Wargroove 2 (Console) to Game Pass Standard. This initial wave offers a rich variety to keep Xbox enthusiasts engaged throughout the month, but the excitement doesn't stop there. Just five days later on April 8, South of Midnight (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X | S) and Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition (Console and PC) will be accessible to all Game Pass subscribers.

PlaySouth of Midnight, developed by Compulsion Games and set in the Deep South, is poised to be a standout release for Xbox this year. Its inclusion in Game Pass is expected to attract a significant number of players eager to explore its unique folklore adventure. Microsoft's description highlights the game's immersive experience: "Explore the mythos and confront mysterious creatures of the Deep South in this modern folktale while learning to weave an ancient power to surmount obstacles and face the pain haunting your hometown."
