Xbox Series X|S is getting even more exciting this coming April 2025 with two brand-new first-party titles on the horizon.

For several months now, gamers have been eagerly anticipating Compulsion’s South of Midnight, a standout release already locked in for this spring. Now, Microsoft has sweetened the deal by adding another innovative title to its lineup.

After building buzz during its Steam Early Access run last year, Towerborne – a fresh take on the looter-brawler genre from Stoic, the creative force behind the Banner Saga series – is set to debut on consoles on April 29, 2025. However, don’t expect a finished product just yet. Towerborne will launch as part of the Xbox Game Preview program, meaning players will have the unique opportunity to shape the game’s development even after its console debut.

On launch day, Xbox Series X|S players, along with Windows PC gamers via the Xbox app, will also gain access to Towerborne through Game Pass Ultimate. This move ensures that anyone interested in diving into Stoic’s inventive approach to looter-brawler action can jump in without any extra cost. Alongside its release, the game is slated to receive a major update—the Class Mastery Update—that promises significant changes and enhancements to gameplay features.

Whether you’re a newcomer or someone who’s followed Towerborne through its early access days on Steam, there’s a lot to look forward to. With both titles offering fresh, engaging experiences, Microsoft is clearly focused on delivering quality and innovation to the Xbox community this April.

Keep an eye out for more updates on these titles as the release date approaches—April is shaping up to be a memorable month for Xbox fans.
