With April now in full swing, and with NBA 2K26 having been randomly announced for Game Pass earlier this week, we wanted to issue a reminder that the first three Xbox Game Pass additions of the month have now begun rolling out!
The first two technically arrived yesterday (April 2nd) in the form of Barbie Horse Trails and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — the latter being a new addition for just the Premium tier of Xbox Game Pass. Barbie Horse Trails is for Ultimate, Premium and PC, and while you might laugh at the idea of it, this is a game that has 8/10 review scores from the likes of GameSpew and ImpulseGamer, so it actually sounds worth a try!
Today's new addition for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC is the aforementioned NBA 2K26, and that one will be rolling out at some point over the next few hours. Keep an eye on it - it shouldn't be too long before it's playable.
We'll leave you with more details on each of these new Xbox Game Pass additions down below:
