Microsoft has released a list of games that will delight Xbox Game Pass subscribers in the first half of April.

Users of the service now have access to the iconic JRPG Final Fantasy IV, and the main novelty of the month will be Kiln — a fun multiplayer action game about combat clay pots, designed for noisy parties. It is a bright and unconventional game from Double Fine Productions, known for mega-conceptual titles, the most famous of which is Psychonauts.

In addition, in April, Hades II — one of the highest-rated games of 2025 — debuts on Xbox (and PS5).
