We're having a busy end to March 2021 with the release of It Takes Two and Balan Wonderworld, followed by Outriders launching on Xbox Game Pass this Thursday, but after that, it's a little bit quiet on Xbox in April 2021.
Nevertheless, we've still got some major releases on the way, including Judgment, Second Extinction and NieR: Replicant, and PlayStation Studios is publishing its first ever game on Xbox in the form of MLB The Show 21!

I'm probably going to play Judgment, because it reminds me of Sleeping Dogs (one of my all time favourite games). I'm only concerned it might get stale like most Yakuza games in terms of gameplay, but since it'll be on Game Pass it would be criminal not to try at least. Before you tell me how awesome Yakuza is: I loved Zero, enjoyed Kiwami and got to the midway point of Kiwami 2 at which point I was bored and tired of this series. I see why people like it, but the gameplay gets so repetetive that I find it hard to justify forcing myself to keep playing.
How many of you just click on the what's new to gamepass link asides from me? I honestly find it hard to justify buying a game when I have so many games to play still in gamepass. I'm sure at some point I'll be to a point where I'll have a lot of the games behind me and will start looking at non gamepass titles...but that's likely 2-3 years away.
Outriders & MLB The Show 21 for me cant believe we finally have The Show on Xbox
@Krzzystuff We never used to include the Game Pass section at the bottom until we got people saying, "that's literally the only part I care about." So it's not just you!
I'll probably just play Outriders from all these games and only because I can get it as part of my Game Pass Ultimate subscription. I wasn't planning on buying - certainly not at launch anyway but for 'free', it looks like it will be enough fun to warrant the download.
Really excited for Outriders. Going to be a great Spring Grind with that MHR.
MLB the Show can’t wait!
@gollumb82 Judgment isn't coming to gamepass though?
@KamSung
Oops! You're right! I do expect it to hit GP sooner rather than later.
@gollumb82 Same, I've heard great things Judgement. I think it'll come to XBGP to "complete" the Yakuza games, since it's kinda still a Yakuza game.
I won’t double dip but judgement is great. Forgot about Nier. Will have to get that.
Really looking forward to outriders
Judgment, Nier and R-Type for me.
@gollumb82 you got my hopes up there for a second.
Everything in April is terrible apart from one game..that's my Judgement on the article!
Il give outriders a second try on gamepass, wasn't too keen on the demo on ps4 but i might aswell give it a go if it's free
It'll be Judgement and NiER Replicant for me this month
Outriders, MLB the Show and NieR!
Quiet April? Bois I'm buying mlb the show, rtype, NieR, and judgement lmao it's gonna be nuts for a little while!
Nier for sure.
Maybe Judgement later
Left 4 Dead with Dinos instead of zombies? I'm In!
