Six games will be leaving the Xbox Game Pass in mid-April. If you want to continue playing the games after that, you can currently buy them at a significantly lower price thanks to Microsoft's member discount.

Until April 16, Microsoft is expanding the Xbox Game Pass with 8 new games - including two brand new releases. As is the case every month, some games will be thrown out. Gamers will have to say goodbye to six games on April 15. Until then, subscribers still have the opportunity to take advantage of the member discount and buy the games for 20 percent less.

Back 4 Blood - (PC, console and cloud)

Back 4 Blood is a cooperative first-person shooter inspired by Left 4 Dead and set in a post-apocalyptic world where a parasite has turned humanity into aggressive "Ridden". Players take on the role of a "Cleaner" - one of a few surviving heroes who fight back against the infected and try to save the world. The game places a strong focus on teamwork and offers a cooperative mode in which players can play the campaign in pairs. However, there is also a competitive multiplayer mode.

Amnesia Collection - (PC, console and cloud)

The Amnesia: Collection includes three survival horror games "The Dark Descent", "Justine" and "A Machine for Pigs", which are based on exploration, puzzle solving and avoiding confrontations with monsters. Each game in the collection tells its own story, with the theme of memory loss always playing a role. Players explore dark environments, collect items, solve puzzles and uncover dark secrets of the main protagonists while constantly trying to escape madness.

Amnesia: Rebirth - (PC, console and cloud)

Amnesia: Rebirth is the latest installment in the Amnesia series. The survival horror game puts players in the role of Tasi Trianon, who wakes up in the Algerian desert with no memories. Players must explore dark environments, solve puzzles and sneak around dangerous monsters in order to reconstruct Tasi's past and find her fellow travelers. A gameplay feature is that both physical and mental resources must be managed, as the main protagonist's sanity is constantly dwindling due to the constant threat of dangerous creatures.

Soma - (PC, console and cloud)

Soma is a science fiction horror adventure game from the creators of the survival horror series "Amnesia", set in a post-apocalyptic time in which the Earth's surface has become uninhabitable following a catastrophe. The center of the game is the underwater research station PATHOS-II. Players take on the role of Simon Jarrett, who has been in a coma for years because of a experimental brain scan and has now awoken in this dystopian future. Players explore the dark and claustrophobic environment of the research station, solve puzzles and try to avoid biomechanical creatures in order to uncover the secrets of PATHOS-II.

Research and Destroy - (PC, console and cloud)

Research and Destroy is a turn-based action game that can be played in single or co-op mode. Players control three genius scientists battling a global monster invasion in a post-apocalyptic world. The gameplay combines real-time action with pause functions for strategic planning, focusing on research and the development of new weapons and technologies.

Phantom Abyss - (PC, console and cloud)

Phantom Abyss is an action-adventure game that sends players into procedurally generated temples with the aim of recovering valuable relics before they are sealed away forever. Each temple is only played once. If a player fails, the temple is lost to them. As a little help, phantom images are visible that show which paths other players have taken. The temples are full of traps, puzzles and obstacles that must be cleverly avoided or solved. Phantom Abyss relies on parkour-like movement sequences, which demands a great deal of skill and timing from players.
