Xbox Game Pass subscribers received a strong triple-header of new titles today, April 14, 2026. The additions include the long-awaited cyberpunk action platformer Replaced, Supergiant Games’ acclaimed roguelite Hades II (now on Xbox Series X|S), and the isometric CRPG The Thaumaturge.

This brings the total number of games added to Xbox Game Pass in April to eight, and 62 titles since the beginning of 2026. The service continues its steady pace of delivering both day-one releases and expanded library content.

New Games Available Today

Replaced (Ultimate, PC Game Pass – Cloud, PC, Series X|S)
Sad Cat Studios’ debut title finally arrives after multiple delays. Set in an alternate cyberpunk 1980s America, players control a Phoenix Corporation AI trapped in a human body as it uncovers dark secrets in the neon-lit metropolis of Phoenix City. The cinematic 2.5D action platformer launched as a day-one title on Game Pass.
Hades II (Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Premium – Cloud, Handheld, PC, Series X|S)
Supergiant’s Greek mythology-inspired roguelite left early access in September 2025 and is now available on Xbox Series X|S for the first time. This counts as a partial day-one addition for the console version, joining the existing PC and Switch 2 releases.
The Thaumaturge (Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Premium – Cloud, PC, Series X|S)
Fool’s Theory’s turn-based RPG set in an alternate 20th-century Warsaw. Originally launched in March 2024, this is the only non-day-one addition in today’s wave.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (Premium – Cloud, PC, Series X|S) and EA Sports NHL 26 (Ultimate – Cloud, Series X|S)  
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Ultimate, PC, Premium – Cloud, Console, PC)  

Upcoming April Releases

  • April 21: Vampire Crawlers (Ultimate, PC – day-one), Little Rocket Lab (Premium), and Sopa: Tale of the Stolen Potato (Premium)  
  • April 23: Kiln (Ultimate, PC – day-one)  
  • April 28: Aphelion (Ultimate, PC – day-one)

Later confirmed day-one releases include Forza Horizon 6 on May 19, Ascend to Zero on July 13, Beast of Reincarnation on August 4, and Grave Seasons on August 14.

Microsoft is expected to reveal the full Wave 2 lineup for April on April 21. The month is shaping up to be one of the stronger content periods of 2026, with a healthy mix of day-one releases, expanded library titles, and premium-tier exclusives.

Xbox Game Pass Premium continues to offer the broadest access, while the Essential tier sees occasional meaningful additions like the recent arrival of Warhammer: Vermintide 2.

With Replaced finally delivering on its long-promised cyberpunk platforming adventure and Hades II making its console debut, April marks one of the best drops of games for the year so far. Subscribers have plenty of fresh experiences to dive into while waiting for the next wave of announcements and releases.
