Microsoft has announced the first wave of games coming to Game Pass in April 2024. Highlights include Lego 2K Drive, EA Sports PGA Tour, and Harold Halibut.

Out today, April 2, is Superhot: Mind Control Delete (Cloud, Console, and PC), which returns to the Game Pass library. Tomorrow, April 3, Lego 2K Drive (Cloud and Console) hits Game Pass. IGN’s review returned an 8/10: We said: “LEGO 2K Drive is a wild and whimsical all-ages kart racer with an incredible custom vehicle creation tool that’s just about worth the price of admission alone.”

Two games hit Game Pass on April 4: Lil Gator Game (Cloud, Console, and PC), and EA Sports PGA Tour (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S) via EA Play. Moving on, two games launch on Game Pass on April 9: Kona (Cloud and Console), which makes a return to the Game Pass library, and Botany Manor (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S), which is a day-one Game Pass release.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass on April 11. This is the final chapter of Lara’s origin trilogy, and includes all seven DLC challenge tombs, as well as all downloadable weapons, outfits, and skills. IGN’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider review returned a 9/10.

Wave 1 ends with the day-one Game Pass release of Harold Halibut (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) on April 16. Harold Halibut is a handmade narrative game about friendship and life on a city-sized spaceship submerged in an alien ocean.
