Xbox Game Pass for April is stacked — and Hades 2 is just the start
Apr 10th '26 11:45am:
Microsoft has confirmed the first wave of games coming to Game Pass in April 2026, and the lineup is pretty generous. Among the highlights are titles like *Hades 2* and *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare* (the remake), plus several other additions spread throughout the month.
**The most anticipated day is April 14.** That's when *Hades 2* — making its debut on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 —, the long-awaited *Replaced*, and the turn-based RPG *The Thaumaturge* all hit the service at once.
**Here are the key titles by date:**
- **Apr 7** — *Final Fantasy IV* (Cloud, Xbox Series X/S and PC)
- **Apr 8** — *DayZ*, *FBC: Firebreak*, *Warhammer Vermintide 2*
- **Apr 9** — *Planet Coaster 2*
- **Apr 14** — *Hades 2*, *Replaced*, *The Thaumaturge* ⭐
- **Apr 16** — *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered* (Game Pass Premium), *EA Sports NHL 26*
- **Apr 17** — *Call of Duty: Modern Warfare*
- **Apr 21** — *Vampire Crawlers*
- **Apr 23** — *Kiln* (from Double Fine)
**But there are departures too.** On April 15, *Grand Theft Auto V* leaves Game Pass once again — yes, again — along with *Ashen*, *Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes*, *My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery*, and *Terra Invicta*.
Overall, April delivers. Hades 2 alone would justify the month, and there's still Oblivion Remastered and CoD MW for anyone who missed them back in the day.
