Grand Theft Auto V headlines Xbox Game Pass additions for April 2021

Coming-Soon_4.6.2021.jpg

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.

GTA V leaves, RDR2 takes it's place. Then that leaves and then GTA V comes back. Then it'll leave again and probably RDR2 will come back. Rinse and repeat. lol

^ this.

The Show 21 seems like the big one to me. It was exclusive up until now after all.

I don't play sports games but may try out the cloud version just to see what they have turned into since the N64.

It's the month of September in the year 2568

All of humanity has been extinguished from planet Earth

And XBOX once again announces that RDR2 is coming to Game Pass

When will GTA V return?

Only time will tell

This overhyped crap again. gamepass was so good without it.
You know, fun fact, you literally don't have to play it just cause it's on Game Pass. That's the beautiful thing about having options. I'm curious how it simply existing on the service makes it worse.

This is getting to skyrim levels at this point

How long can a game stay relevant
As long as it brings them profit.
Last year it sold around 20 million copies, and brought in almost if not over 1 billion in revenue. (last time I checked it was ~841 million by the end of Q3).

To be fair, GTA Online is still pretty much alive and is still receiving updates. My only wish is that they decouple it with the main game. I hate those pesky 10GB updates and I mostly only play the main game.

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.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
