Now that the calendars have clocked over to April, it's time to see what new games companies will be adding to their libraries. In the case of Xbox Game Pass, eight new games will be landing on Microsoft's service. The biggest addition this month will be Grand Theft Auto V, playable through console or cloud, on April 8th. You can also expect to see sports games, such as NHL 21 and MLB The Show 21--the latter of which is a Sony-published game on Game Pass, while two Disney titles also join the fray in the form of Disneyland Adventures, Rush: A DisneyPixar Adventure. Rain on Your Parade, Pathway, and Zombie Army 4: Dead War will be available as well.

It's really a kick in the teeth that PS5 subscription customers have buy MLB 21 full price and Xbox GP users get it included.

A major coup for Microsoft I think.

Yep. Totally agree. And the other thing bothering me is that you have to subscribe to both PS Plus and PS Now in case you want to play older games...and the Now service isn't even available in every region/country...which is a major letdown. It's much more convenient the way that Xbox offers it with gamepass. I know that PSNow is a laggy mess, but it's the only feasible way to play every generation (most of them at least) game on a single console and it would be more than enough for me, but nope....can't do it because of limitations and region exclusions/locks. I just hate it.
