Xbox Game Pass will get 14 new games added to it this month. Eight games had been added by the middle of the month, with “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” probably being the most popular. Six more games, some of which are pending, are still anticipated in the second half of the month. Notably, on April 26, when it releases, the medieval strategy game “Manor Lords” will be part of the Game Pass.
But as is the case every month, certain games will have to be said farewell to subscribers. On April 30, six titles will be taken out of the Xbox Game Pass. Fans of zombies will be especially disappointed to learn that “7 Days to Die” will no longer be available.
