With Game Pass there is no loser! It is a win-win everytime!
April is fully underway and Game Pass subscribers can now look forward to eight more games since the last two that were announced.
The next eight games available to Game Pass subscribers will have genres for every player from action-adventure, to humourus turn-based tactics, to World War II war strategy, some female protagonist adventure, a bit of space flight fun in Star Wars, some zombie killing action in Plants VS Zombies Garden Warfare 2, dragon adventure in Dragon Age II and finally, Cricket action in Cricket 22.
So, with that bit of tantalizing here are the eight new games subscribers can expect this month from GamePass:
