0 Like our PlayStation Plus Games Catalogue update this month, April’s second Game Pass update includes 2 Day One releases. Alongside those, we have a few great indie titles, and the return of one of the best-selling video games of all time. As usual, there are a few titles leaving Game Pass, make sure to check those at the end of the article.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Genre: RPG

Tiers: Ultimate & PC
Each year, The Paintress paints a number, and each year everyone of the age turns to ash. Every year, an expedition sets off with the goal of killing The Paintress to end the cycle. In this stylish turn-based RPG, join voice actors Ben Starr and Jennifer English as their characters set off on Expedition 33. Clair Obscur looks amazing, and appears to have Persona inspired combat menus, which I adore. This brand-new IP is coming Day One to Xbox Game Pass on April 24th. Exciting!

What really needs to be said about Grand Theft Auto V at this point? The second-highest selling video game of all time returns to Game Pass in April to help fans bide their time until the much anticipated sequel launches later this year.
