It’s the best time of the year: The Stanley Cup playoffs have begun! When you’re not watching hockey, you could also be playing hockey with NHL 24, which has just been confirmed as an Xbox Game Pass lineup addition. NHL 24 was made available to console subscribers on April 18, just two days before the playoffs began.
EA has also announced that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, its thoroughly enjoyable 2023 action-adventure sequel, is coming to the EA Play library — included in both PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate — on Thursday, April 25.
But if you’re not a Star Wars or hockey fan, that’s OK — there’s plenty more coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, like the anticipated medieval strategy game Manor Lords. Manor Lords launches into early access on April 26, and Xbox Game Pass PC subscribers will have access from the start. Intriguing indie game Harold Halibut is available, too.
Here’s the full lineup of games coming to Xbox Game Pass through the rest of April:
- Harold Halibut (cloud, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X) — April 16
- Orcs Must Die! 3 (cloud, console, and Windows PC) — April 17
- NHL 24 (console) — April 18
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (cloud, console, and Windows PC) — April 23
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (console and Windows PC) — April 25
- Another Crab’s Treasure (cloud, console, and Windows PC) — April 25
- Manor Lords (Windows PC) — April 26
- Have A Nice Death (cloud, console, and Windows PC) — April 30
Subscribers to Game Pass Core, which is basically the Xbox Live Gold replacement, will get access to Deep Rock Galactic, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, and Wreckfest.
Like any other month, Microsoft will pull a few games from the service. Six games are leaving on April 30:
- 7 Days to Die (cloud, console, and Windows PC)
- Besiege (cloud, console, and Windows PC)
- NHL 22 (console)
- Loot River (cloud, console, and Windows PC)

Xbox Game Pass costs $10.99 a month, while PC Game Pass costs $9.99 a month. PC Game Pass includes EA Play access, which offers another 70 games on PC. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, at $16.99 per month, gives subscribers access to everything — the PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass libraries, EA Play on both console and PC — as well as access to online multiplayer. Xbox Game Pass Core (formerly called Xbox Live Gold) costs $9.99 per month or $59.99 per year.
