Xbox Game Pass Adds 4 Day-One Games to Close Out April 2026

by

Okay, so Xbox Game Pass just got a whole lot better! They added Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, which I’m super excited about, plus three other brand new games you can play right away, depending on which Game Pass membership you have. It’s a pretty big drop this month – they’ve added a total of 18 games in April already!

Xbox Game Pass added a new game roughly every two days throughout April 2026. The latest addition, the first-person shooter Trepang2 (similar to FEAR), arrived on April 29th. This brings the total number of new games added this month to fourteen, which is significantly higher than usual, with four more games joining to finish out the month.

Inkonbini, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, and 2 More Day-One Titles Join Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass is adding four new games on April 30th: Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, TerraTech Legion, Sledding Game, and InKonbini. All are available to play on day one, with the exception of Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, which is currently only on PC. Because it’s an early-access game, Olden Era isn’t available on Xbox Cloud Gaming, as that service requires Xbox Series X hardware.

On April 30th, Xbox Game Pass added a charming new game called Inkonbini. Developed by a team in Tokyo, Inkonbini lets you run a convenience store in a small Japanese town. It’s a relaxing game that mixes simple store management with getting to know the local characters. The game has a unique visual style inspired by 1990s Japan, aiming to bring a nostalgic feel to players.

If you’re looking for something new, TerraTech Legion blends fast-paced bullet-hell action with the fun of building and upgrading vehicles. Instead of leveling up a character, you create and improve a vehicle to fight off waves of enemies. It’s a unique game that might appeal to anyone who enjoys LEGO or Vampire Survivors. Also releasing on April 30th is Sledding Game, a relaxing experience where you play as frogs going sledding. In between runs down the slopes, you can play mini-games like darts, snowball fights, curling, making s’mores, and even avoiding a yeti!
