It’s a new month, which means lots of new stuff Xbox Game Pass the outings are on their way. The month of March saw a host of memorable RPGs are added to the service, including Like a dragon: infinite wealth And Cyberpunk 2077. If you’ve already managed to beat these massive games, don’t worry, because April has plenty to keep you busy. A new batch of games, including excellent RPGs, is on the way.
The announcement comes from the manager Xbox site, which shared the Wave 1 titles added to Game Pass in April 2026. This includes some very nice day one releases like Oven while also offering the Pixel Remaster version of Final Fantasy 4. In fact, there will be a little something for everyone arriving in April, but one RPG in particular will be offered to a wider range of subscribers starting April 16.
Oblivion Remastered is coming to more Game Pass tiers
Among the different titles confirmed for April 2026 on Xbox Game Pass, one of the most notable is The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Bethesda’s RPG was previously available with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, but it will be made available to Premium tier members starting April 16, 2026.
This is a nice win for Game Pass subscribers, although it means that Essential members unfortunately won’t be able to play it for free at the moment. The original RPG was named Game of the Year in 2006, and this remastered version includes graphical upgrades, quality of life improvements, and DLC for Shivering Islands And Knights of the Nine all in one package. It’s an amazing RPG that definitely deserves your attention if you haven’t played it yet.
If you’re looking for an RPG to really sink your teeth into, then Oblivion Remastered is perfect. While you can complete the main story fairly quickly (around 17 hours), it will take upwards of 50 hours if you create a lot of side content and play both DLCs.
How long to beat lists the time for completionists at 93.5 hours, which honestly seems a bit low, especially if you’re vying for all the achievements and going through the DLC. You can easily spend 100 hours in this game without even really trying.
If you’re on the fence, don’t be. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is fantastic, and even if you played the original game 20 years ago, now is the perfect time to try it again. Fortunately, even more Xbox Game Pass Subscribers will have the chance to play it at no extra cost once the RPG arrives in Premium next week.
