Bugsnax leads late April Xbox Game Pass line-up

7 Days to Die! Unsouled! Turnip Boy! More.

Beasts-meets-brunch adventure Bugsnax headlines April's second wave of Xbox Game Pass additions.

After almost 18 months as a PlayStation console exclusive, Bugsnax arrives on 28th April for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S directly via Game Pass. (It launches for Switch on the same date, and is also when its Isle of Bigsnax DLC arrives for all platforms.)

It's joined by open-world zombie shooter 7 Days to Die, turn-based action title Research and Destroy, tough action RPG Unsouled, plus cute puzzle dungeon solver Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion.
