In the second half of April 2025, the lineup for new games on Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has been finalized, offering a mix of various genres, but an upcoming Role-Playing Game (RPG) stands out as particularly noteworthy due to its promising initial appearances.

Additionally, aside from the upcoming RPG on Game Pass, there’s another major game slated for release, although many gamers may have experienced it already.

Game Pass Lineup For The Second Wave Of April 2025 Brings One Of The Most Anticipated RPGs Of The Year

The RPG under discussion is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This marks the first endeavor of the French gaming studio, Sandfall Interactive. It appears to be a typical turn-based RPG, but there’s something more to it.

Apart from Clair Obscur, another highly anticipated game set to arrive on our service this month is Grand Theft Auto 5. Even though it’s likely that many gamers have already experienced this hit, if you are one of the few who haven’t, here’s your opportunity to give it a spin, completely free of charge.

As a dedicated Game Pass member, this month’s looking pretty sweet on Xbox or PC! If you believe the buzz, it’s about to get even more exciting. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, which dropped some tantalizing screenshots today, is rumored to be hitting the shelves sooner rather than later. And Can’t wait to dive back into Tamriel!
