Xbox has announced the next April 2026 Game Pass wave, with Hades II and Replaced coming in as the headliners in the lineup.
Both games will become available on April 14, with Hades II joining Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass, while Replaced will be in the same tiers except for the Premium.
Hades II was only available on PC before and is coming as a day-one Game Pass release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, and Xbox Cloud upon its console release. The Xbox version includes all the post-launch patches already released elsewhere, along with additional quality-of-life improvements and bonus content.
Replaced is also finally coming out after numerous delays and setbacks. Made by Belarusian Sad Cat Studios, this transhumanist dark cyberpunk thriller is set in an alternate America of the 80s, with the narrative focused on an AI trapped in a human body.
As always, Xbox Game Pass waves have additional games other than the obvious headliners. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered gets expanded access, while Kiln and The Thaumaturge will try to find the Xbox audience. Here’s the list of the games that are coming to Xbox Game Pass in April:
