When Will Xbox Game Pass April 2021 Games Be Announced?

Games are often teased, if not outright announced, at the beginning of the month – meaning it's likely we could hear something in the first few days of April 2021.

Xbox Game Pass often gets more than one update, so while we expect an update early in the month, don't rule out even more games being added in the days and weeks that follow.

We'd be surprised if this month is as crazy as March, with Microsoft adding plenty of titles from Bethesda's back catalogue, as well as finally bringing EA Play to Game Pass on PC.

For more on Game Pass, we've listed the finest titles available on the service for both console and PC.
