Also coming to Game Pass in April is the day-one new release Chinatown Detective Agency for console on April 7 for console, PC, and cloud. This is a "cybernoir" point-and-click adventure game with a retro aesthetic.

EA's Dragon Age 2, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, and Star Wars: Squadrons all add cloud support on April 7 as well.

Then on April 12, Life is Strange: True Colors--the latest entry in the series released in 2021--joins Xbox Game Pass across console, PC, and the cloud. April 12 also sees the launch of the strategy game Panzer Corps 2 on PC. What's more, the fantasy game The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk comes to PC Game Pass that day. It's already available on cloud and console for Game Pass.

Finally, the gothic fairytale action-adventure game Lost in Random comes to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and the cloud on April 14.

Microsoft typically announces new additions to the Game Pass catalog for a given month in two batches, so keep checking back for more on what's coming in the second half of the month. A new month also means another wave of Xbox Games With Gold titles--here's the April 2022 Games With Gold lineup.
