March is coming to an end, and Xbox Game Pass is going indie. Disco Elysium, Absolum and other indie game favorites are heading to the subscription service to close out the month and start off April. This batch of titles covers a variety of genres, and there are a few well-known games thrown in the mix.
Xbox Game Pass offers hundreds of games you can play on your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, Amazon Fire TV, smart TV, PC or mobile device, with prices starting at $10 a month. While all Game Pass tiers offer you a library of games, Game Pass Ultimate ($30 a month) gives you access to the most games, as well as Day 1 games, meaning they hit Game Pass the day they go on sale.
Here are all the latest games subscribers can play on Game Pass. You can also check out other games Microsoft added to the service in early March, including The Witcher 3.
