Disco Elysium, Absolum and More Indie Darlings Head to Xbox Game Pass

It’s definitely a good month to reup your subscription.

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.

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.

Disco Elysium — The Final Cut

Available now for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Disco Elysium — The Final Cut is a narrative-driven roleplaying game where you’re a troubled detective investigating a murder in a richly detailed city. Its deep skill system shapes dialogue, choices and outcomes, focusing on decision-making rather than combat. Interact with memorable characters, uncover secrets and influence the case as your personality develops. The game blends storytelling and player choice, letting you become either a sharp investigator or a complete mess.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

Available on March 24 for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Spanning Japan and Hawaii, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth brings together Ichiban Kasuga and Kazuma Kiryu in a story driven by fate and deeper forces at play. The game features unique turn-based combat that incorporates the environment, turning everyday objects into weapons. Beyond its main story, players can dive into a wide range of side activities and character interactions, blending humor, drama and over-the-top action in a large, vibrant world.

Absolum

Available on March 25 for Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Premium Game Pass subscribers.

In the fantasy land of Talamh, Absolum casts players as rebel heroes fighting to overthrow the rule of Sun King Azra. The game centers on side-scrolling combat that channels classic arcade beat ’em ups, enhanced by roguelite mechanics that change each run with new characters, upgrades and paths. Players battle through waves of enemies using a mix of melee attacks, abilities and movement-based tactics, with each attempt offering different challenges and rewards. Its handcrafted world and replayable structure combine fast action with a modern progression system.

The Long Dark

Available on March 30 for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

The Long Dark is a survival experience set in a frozen wilderness after a geomagnetic disaster. Playing alone, you must manage resources, endure harsh weather and navigate the dangers of nature without outside help. The game strips away traditional enemies to focus on exploration and realism, leaving only you, the cold and the environment to overcome.

Resident Evil 7

Available on March 31 for Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Resident Evil 7 has been called the game that revived the franchise. Featuring a new hero and a focus on horror, the seventh mainline game in the survival horror series made some big changes to be one of the best yet.

Barbie Horse Trails

Available on April 2 for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Barbie Horse Trails is an open-world adventure game where players explore scenic environments on horseback while completing quests and caring for their horse. Focused on exploration and light gameplay, it blends riding challenges with simple tasks like grooming and bonding with your horse. Set across forests, beaches and countryside paths, the game emphasizes a relaxed pace and accessible mechanics aimed at a younger audience.

Final Fantasy 4

Available on April 7 for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Microsoft continues to bring back classic Final Fantasy games to Xbox Game Pass. Final Fantasy 4, originally released on the SNES as Final Fantasy 2, marked a major shift in RPGs. The game’s story of a Dark Knight finding redemption after a life of nefarious deeds takes players through a roller coaster of emotions that only a series like Final Fantasy can do.

Games leaving Game Pass in March

For March, Microsoft is removing only two games. If you’re still playing them, now’s a good time to finish up what you can before they’re gone for good on March 31.
