Microsoft confirm additions for late March and early April
Do seeMicrosoft’s blog postfor games coming to Game Pass on Xbox, but here’s the PC games for us:
Lightyear Frontier- March 19, today (day one)
An early access farming game on an alien world, with mechs. “A satisfying daily loop turns into a speedy momentum in this open world farming game, but its early access release raises questions that need answers,” said Jay Castello in ourLightyear Frontier early access review.
Evil West- March 21
A cowboy with wacky weapons fights vampires in the 2022 third-person studio from the studio behindHard Resetand the modernShadow Warriorgames.
Terra Invicta- March 26
The studio behindfamed XCOM mod Long Warblow the idea of alien invasion up into a grand strategy game where you jostle with factions on Earth, industrialise the solar system, and go years not even knowing what an alien is. “Terra Invicta is a fascinating, astonishingly ambitious game that nothing else can really compare to,” Sin Vegasaidin 2022 after playing the initial early access release. “But there is almost no chance I will ever have time for it all.”

Open Roads- March 28 (day one)
A mother-daughter road trip coming fromfragments of the studio behind Gone Home and Tacoma.
Ark: Survival Ascended- April 1
The remake of dinosaur-dodging craft-o-survival sandbox gameArk: Survival Evolved, launched into early access last September to a mixed reaction. The original still has more players on Steam than the remake. But it undeniably has dinosaurs.
Superhot: Mind Control Delete- April 2
Slow-motion first-person shooterSuperhotwent roguelikelike in 2020’s semi-sequel. Same as ever, you’re wildly outmanned and outgunned but can turn the tables through stylish violence as time slows to a crawl when you’re not moving.
Alas, all flesh is grass. The following games are due to depart this virtual coil soon:
