🔍 Details & Highlights

Microsoft continues to build Game Pass into one of the best value propositions in gaming. April 2025’s second wave features a mix of indie gems, AAA action, and long-awaited RPGs.

Harold Halibut, a handcrafted stop-motion-style adventure game, finally releases after 10 years in development — and it’s launching day-one on Game Pass, a big win for subscribers. Likewise, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, the spiritual successor to Suikoden, brings classic JRPG magic from veteran developers.
