Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Adds 2 New Games, One With Amazing Reviews

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has added Lil Gator Game and EA Sports PGA Tour to its content library. Aside from this pair of arrivals, another Xbox Game Pass title is leaving the Game Preview program today, meaning it's about to receive a rather substantial 1.0 update.

EA Sports PGA Tour and Lil Gator Game bring the total number of April 2024 additions to Microsoft's subscription service up to six. Xbox Game Pass has already added LEGO 2K Drive, Superhot: Mind Control Delete, F1 23, and Ark: Survival Ascended since the turn of the month.

Of the new releases at hand, only Lil Gator Game is available across all tiers of the service bar Xbox Game Pass Core. Meanwhile, EA Sports PGA Tour requires the EA Play add-on, which is an exclusive perk of the Ultimate-tier subscription. That said, the more widely available of the two titles also happens to be the more critically acclaimed one, as Lil Gator Game presently boasts Metacritic Metascores ranging from 80 to 84, while EA Sports PGA Tour's ratings are in the mid-70s. Likewise, while EA's golf sim has «Mixed» user reviews on Steam, Lil Gator Game's player impressions on Valve's platform are in the «Overwhelmingly Positive» territory, with many fans proclaiming it to be one of the best open-world action platformers in recent memory.
