Xbox Game Pass Misses a Golden Opportunity in April

Despite a strong lineup this month, Xbox Game Pass overlooks a significant chance to add a promising game to its service.
Xbox Game Pass Misses a Golden Opportunity in April

Highlights

  • Tales of Kenzera: ZAU brings a fresh Metroidvania experience to gamers.
  • PlayStation Plus subscribers get Tales of Kenzera on release day, while Xbox Game Pass users miss out.
  • Xbox Game Pass could have capitalized on adding Tales of Kenzera to attract more subscribers.

April has been a month of exciting additions for Xbox Game Pass, featuring popular releases like LEGO 2K Drive and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. However, as the month progresses, the service seems to be missing a key opportunity to enhance its offerings.

One standout title, Harold Halibut, is set to debut on Xbox Game Pass alongside Another Crab's Treasure and Manor Lords. While these additions are welcomed by fans, there's a notable absence of a highly anticipated game.

Launching on April 23, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU presents a captivating Metroidvania experience where players embark on a journey to revive lost souls. Developed by Surgent Studios, this game intertwines emotional storytelling with innovative gameplay mechanics, such as mask-swapping to alter abilities.

Despite the enthusiasm surrounding Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, Xbox Game Pass users will not have immediate access to this title, unlike PlayStation Plus members who can enjoy it on release day.

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Exclusively on PlayStation Plus

Unlike previous simultaneous releases on Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU will only be available on PlayStation Plus upon its launch. This decision creates a missed opportunity for Xbox Game Pass to attract a wider audience with this highly anticipated Metroidvania game.

Typically, indie releases like Tales of Kenzera play a vital role in retaining Xbox Game Pass subscribers, making its absence from the service a surprising choice.
