As the next month nears our crosshairs, ripe arrivals for the Xbox Games with Gold program are also readying themselves to drop. Though acting as a sister companion to the Xbox Game Pass service, Microsoft has nonetheless continued its monthly allotment of free games to anyone with Xbox Live Gold membership or the all-in-one Game Pass Ultimate subscription. As April rears its head, so too do the latest freebies of the Games with Gold promotion.

A set of four games are currently confirmed for April, divided into the usual two-week intervals. First up, surreal steampunk mystery Another Sight leads the pack on April 1st alongside color-based platform-puzzler Hue. In addition, interstellar city sim Outpost Kaloki X and offroad racer MX vs ATV Alive will also be brought to Xbox Games with Gold subscribers on April 16th. A breakdown of each new Games with Gold title can be seen below.

Xbox Games With Gold for April 2022

• Another Sight (April 1st – April 30th)
  • Switch between two characters – the intrepid teen Kit, and the mysterious red-furred cat Hodge, as you explore the late Victorian era London in this steampunk fantasy platform adventure. With an emphasis on culture and character and packed with historical cameos, Another Sight focuses on the emotional development of the relationship between its two protagonists as they rely on each other to traverse the cleverly designed levels.
• Hue (April 16th – May 15th)
  • Unlock a world of colors in this beautiful platform puzzler. Search through a gray world for your mother who has turned an impossible color due to the fracturing of the Annular Spectrum. Find the shards and make obstacles disappear to reveal new pathways and more puzzles. The further you go, the more colors you unlock and the tougher it gets.
• Outpost Kaloki X (April 1st – April 15th)
  • Build your intergalactic tycoon empire. When life gives you lemons, blast into space and start selling lemonade. And while you’re at it, why not add on an arcade, singles bar, or whatever your entrepreneurial big tycoon brain can cook up? Keep the aliens happy and rake in the cash.
• MX vs ATV Alive (April 16th – April 30th)
  • Gear up for some aggressive racing across a wide variety of tracks. Feel total control of your customizable rider and bike with the Rider Reflex. Have fun ripping thru the mud, sand, and snow as you own the competition.

The next big freebie floodgates will officially open up on the first of April, but March’s offerings for Xbox Games with Gold are still available to snag for a limited time. Craft-happy survival title The Flame In The Flood and animated platformer Spongebob’s Truth or Square will continue to be ‘ready’ for takeoff until March 31st, while tricky footballer Street Power Soccer will officially meet its goal through to April 15th.
