Final Fantasy 4 is now available with Xbox Game Pass on most subscription plans. It’s the second game added in April 2026, and the 54th game added to the service this year.
Throughout early 2026, Microsoft has been steadily adding Final Fantasy games to its subscription service, releasing a new one each month. This included the first three games from the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster collection, which originally launched in April 2023 to positive reviews. The latest addition, Final Fantasy 3 Pixel Remaster, became available on Xbox Game Pass on March 3rd.
Xbox Game Pass Adds Its 4th Final Fantasy Game in 4 Months
The great run of new games on Xbox Game Pass continues with Final Fantasy 4, which became available on April 7th. This updated version of the classic 1991 role-playing game is playable with all three Game Pass subscriptions: Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass. It’s the second game added this month, following Barbie Horse Trails which joined the service on April 2nd.
Many fans consider Final Fantasy 4 to be a significant improvement over the earlier games in the series. A big reason for this is how innovative it was – it introduced several things that became staples of Final Fantasy, like the Active Time Battle system, characters with detailed backstories, the ability to switch characters during battles to enhance the story, and a memorable love story. Final Fantasy 4 also solidified Nobuo Uematsu’s reputation as a top JRPG composer. The move to the more powerful SNES allowed him to create richer, more orchestral music using samples, a step up from the simpler chiptune sounds of previous games.
