Microsoft has announced an exciting array of Xbox Game Pass titles slated to join the service during the first half of April 2025, showcasing a diverse mix of first- and third-party games such as South of Midnight, Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls – Ultimate Evil Edition, and many more.

According to a recent Xbox Wire post, the lineup promises to be a blockbuster month. Starting tomorrow, April 3, subscribers can dive into Gearbox Software's Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition, available across Cloud, Console, and PC for all tiers. 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.

The following day, April 9, brings Commandos: Origins to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X | S. Blue Prince follows on April 10, available on the same platforms and tiers. Wrapping up the first wave of releases, Hunt: Showdown 1896 will be added to Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for PC on April 15.

In addition to the new games, Xbox Game Pass perks are also set for an update in the first half of April 2025. Notable perks include the Beyond the Void Bundle for The First Descendant, the Sweet Starter Pack for Candy Crush Solitaire on mobile, and an anniversary Seventh Serving Emote for Sea of Thieves.
