Xbox Game Pass is getting more Ubisoft games

By Billy Givens April 19, 2022

Microsoft today announced more Game Pass games for April and also offered a tease about Ubisoft’s future on the popular subscription service.

In a blog post, Microsoft revealed some fresh games coming to the platform throughout the rest of the month. While players can hop into games like F1 2021 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered starting today, some notable hits are coming later this month, including Bugsnax. The charming and vibrant title launched alongside the PlayStation 5 in 2020, but it’s now making its way over to Xbox platforms alongside its new (and free) DLC, The Isle of BIGsnax, which will add hours of new content to an already expansive experience.

The post also teases that Ubisoft will be making a bigger splash on the service in the next two months. Assassin’s Creed Origins will be added to the library for cloud, console, and PC. Meanwhile, For Honor: Marching Fire Edition will be added to PC, and cloud and console players will receive the upgraded version of the game as well. No other details were shared regarding which other Ubisoft titles will be coming in the future, but it’s heavily implied that Microsoft and Ubisoft are working to bring plenty more to players in the coming months.

All cross-platform games (PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)

Cross-platform support is becoming more important in the world of video games. Multiplayer hits like Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Fortnite have pushed crossplay into the limelight, and now most AAA multiplayer games release with at least partial cross-platform support. Finding every cross-platform game is no easy feat, though, so we did the hard work to bring you a comprehensive list of games that support crossplay.

Unfortunately, there aren't any rules when it comes to crossplay, so each game handles the feature a little differently. To make matters more confusing, certain backward-compatible games on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X still support crossplay on the most recent hardware, even if there isn't an official release for that hardware.

The best external hard drives for Xbox Series X

The Xbox Series X's 1TB sounds excellent on paper, but in reality, Microsoft's console only offers about 802GBs of storage due to updates and the operating system. You may find yourself filling up your space quickly, especially if you're looking to download every new title that becomes available on Xbox Game Pass. Let's face it, Call of Duty alone takes well over 100GBs of storage — and with the system targeting 4K resolution, games are only growing in size.

The Xbox Series X is compatible with any external hard drive up to 16TB of storage. Games optimized for the Xbox Series X can only be stored on, but not played from, an external drive due to the games being designed to take advantage of faster loading speeds and Xbox Velocity Architecture. However, when it comes to storage for your Xbox Series X, there are many options to choose from as your game library expands. We have compiled a list of external drives that will make your gaming experience seamless. Note that they will come with the proper cables needed to connect to your Xbox console.

April’s most anticipated RPG is coming to Xbox Game Pass

We've learned about the titles that will come to Xbox Game Pass throughout the back half of April, and several of them are games getting added to the catalog the day they launch. Of those, the most notable is Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

While that name is a mouthful, RPG fans will want to pay attention to Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes as it is a spiritual successor to the long-dormant Konami RPG series Suikoden. Many of the developers who worked on the original Suikoden games worked together to reimagine the concept for the modern era, creating an RPG with over 100 recruitable party members, engaging combat, and a gorgeous pixelated art style that gives Square Enix's HD-2D games a run for their money. Prequel game Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising is already on Xbox Game Pass too, so Microsoft seems all-in on backing this Suikoden successor as we wait for Konami to release remasters of those titles or a new game in the series.
