Microsoft has announced the next set of Xbox Game Pass games, which will be available in April, and there is a good mix for players on console, PC, and cloud.

Beginning April 21, subscribers can play Vampire Crawlers, a spin-off of Vampire Survivors. In the coming days, more titles will be added, including Kiln and Final Fantasy 5.

Aphelion, one of the most anticipated upcoming releases, will be available as a Day One title on Xbox Game Pass next week. Don't Nod developed the game, which follows an astronaut trying to survive on a frozen planet while rescuing her injured partner. It focuses on emotional storytelling while also incorporating real science elements, and was developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency.
