Xbox Game Pass is getting more Ubisoft games

Microsoft today announced more Game Pass games for April and also offered a tease about Ubisoft’s future on the popular subscription service.

In a blog post, Microsoft revealed some fresh games coming to the platform throughout the rest of the month. While players can hop into games like F1 2021 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered starting today, some notable hits are coming later this month, including Bugsnax. The charming and vibrant title launched alongside the PlayStation 5 in 2020, but it’s now making its way over to Xbox platforms alongside its new (and free) DLC, The Isle of BIGsnax, which will add hours of new content to an already expansive experience.

The post also teases that Ubisoft will be making a bigger splash on the service in the next two months. Assassin’s Creed Origins will be added to the library for cloud, console, and PC. Meanwhile, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition will be added to PC, and cloud and console players will receive the upgraded version of the game as well. No other details were shared regarding which other Ubisoft titles will be coming in the future, but it’s heavily implied that Microsoft and Ubisoft are working to bring plenty more to players in the coming months.

Xbox Game Pass will lose 13 games in December, including Forza Horizon 4
forza horizon 4 xbox windows october

Xbox Game Pass games come and go every month, but December sees a total of 13 games leaving the service, including Rise of the Tomb Raider and Forza Horizon 4.

It's a definite bummer for subscribers, especially since Forza Horizon 4 still holds up even next to its successor (but not unexpected, as its DLC was delisted in June). All of these games are 20% off while they're still in the Game Pass library, so you can save a little dough to keep your favorites.

After Inc. is described as part 4X strategy game and part city builder. You build settlements in the wake of a zombie apocalypse and have to rebuild humanity while also surviving zombie attacks. This involves gathering resources and working your way through different rounds to unlock more tools.
