Xbox Game Pass Confirms New Day One Game for April 9
Xbox Game Pass subscribers have yet another day one game to look forward to, as the upcoming Botany Manor has been confirmed for release on April 9. Botany Manor was first confirmed for Xbox Game Pass last December, with a handful of other 2024 Game Pass titles confirmed on the same day.
At the time of its Game Pass announcement, Botany Manor was pegged for a vague Spring 2024 release. Day of the Devs took place on the same day that Botany Manor was confirmed for the Xbox Game Pass lineup, and that event saw even more titles confirmed for Microsoft's gaming subscription service. On that day, Flock was given a spring 2024 release window, Open Roads was confirmed for February (though it has since been delayed to March), and Nirvana Noir was confirmed to be coming to Game Pass at some point this year, but didn't get a more specific release window.
While Xbox Game Pass subscribers are still waiting to learn the exact dates that they will get to play Flock and Nirvana Noir, they can now circle April 9 on their calendars. Botany Manor will release for PC, Switch, and Xbox that day, launching as a day one Xbox Game Pass game. Described as a «plant-puzzle game,» Botany Manor released a new trailer that confirmed its release date and showed off fresh gameplay.
Botany Manor is now the third day one Xbox Game Pass game confirmed for April 2024 so far. It was previously announced that Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes would be coming to Xbox Game Pass on April 24, while Manor Lords has locked in an April 26 release date. It's entirely possible that April 2024 will be home to even more brand-new Xbox Game Pass releases, but subscribers will have to hang tight for more information on that front. The most likely scenario is that the full Xbox Game Pass April 2024 lineup won't be revealed until April itself rolls around, but there are plenty new Game Pass games to look forward to in the more immediate future anyway.
