Xbox Game Pass is offering another batch of impressive titles to finish off April, plus an exciting announcement with Redfall coming to the service on day one.

We’ve got a bunch of exciting additions starting today; Minecraft Legends is available now, kicking off the second half of April with its launch. Earlier this month, Steven Green reviewed the game, saying “We have now entered the strategy realm with Minecraft Legends.”.
