Coming soon to Xbox Game Pass: Minecraft Legends, Redfall and more

April 2023 is turning out to be pretty stacked in terms of Xbox Game Pass. Along with several other additions we’ve already seen a major first party release in April with Bethesda’s Ghostwire: Tokyo. And today (April 18) another big game arrives on Xbox Game Pass with the release of Minecraft Legends (check out our Minecraft Legends review roundup, by the way).

And there is plenty more on the slate for the remainder of April heading in to May. Check out the games headed to Xbox Game Pass in the next few weeks.
