Xbox Game Pass March 2024 Wave 2 Lineup Announced

ign.com:

Microsoft has confirmed the second wave of games coming to Xbox Game Pass during March 2024.

Out today, March 19, is open-world farming adventure Lightyear Frontier (Game Preview) (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) as a day-one release. IGN’s Lightyear Frontier Early Access Review returned a 7/10. We said: “Cute and chill, homesteading in your giant mech on Lightyear Frontier’s alien world is already some good and simple fun, even if it currently stops a bit short.”

Also out today is MLB The Show 24 (Cloud and Console) as another day-one Game Pass launch. Coming soon, on March 20, is Supermassive’s The Quarry (Cloud and Console). IGN’s The Quarry Review returned a 7/10. We said: “The Quarry is a fun, bloody thrill ride on your first playthrough, but its lack of interactivity and a lot of little issues drag down the whole.”

A day later, on March 21, Old West adventure Evil West (Cloud, Console, and PC) hits Game Pass. “Evil West is far from the most complex or innovative action game around, but it nails the most important parts of its old-school, monster-killing campaign,” we said in IGN’s Evil West Review.

Sci-fi grand strategy game Terra Invicta hits PC Game Pass on March 26 as part of Game Preview. This one’s from Pavonis Interactive, maker of the popular Long War mod for 2012 game XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Here’s the big one: Blizzard’s action role-playing game Diablo 4 (Console and PC) launches on Game Pass on March 28. Diablo 4 is the first Blizzard game to hit the subscription service since Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. More are surely to come.

Also hitting Game Pass on March 28 is Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged (Cloud, Console, and PC), and Open Roads (Cloud, Console, and PC). Open Roads is a day-one Game Pass title.

We also have a few Game Pass games coming in early April. Ark: Survival Ascended (Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S) launches on Game Pass on April 1, F1 23 (Cloud) via EA Play on April 2, and Superhot: Mind Control Delete (Cloud,
