Warhammer: Vermintide 2 joining the Essential catalog is a notable addition. The well-received co-op action game from Fatshark is now in its third stint on Game Pass and appears to be staying for the long term. This marks the first Essential-tier refresh since December 2025, when Stellaris, World War Z: Aftermath, and Medieval Dynasty were added.
The April Wave 1 lineup is shaping up to be one of the stronger months for the service in 2026, with nine confirmed arrivals between April 9 and April 23, plus several expanded releases including the PC debut of DayZ and the Premium-tier arrivals of FBC: Firebreak and Endless Legend 2.
Xbox Game Pass Premium continues to offer the broadest access, while Essential subscribers are seeing gradual but meaningful expansion of their library. Which games are you playing from it?
