Spring sports are in the air for Xbox Game Pass subscribers in the first half of April. MLB The Show 22 is available Tuesday April 5 for console and cloud gaming, the same day it launches for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. So is Big Ant Studios’ Cricket 22, which launched in December, for those who prefer wickets to bases.
Coming soon, on Thursday April 7, subscribers will get day-one cloud, console, and PC access to Chinatown Detective Agency, a “cybernoir point-and-click adventure” courtesy of General Interactive Co. and the ID@Xbox program. That will be joined by three EA Play games becoming available for cloud gaming on Android and iOS devices.
Then, on April 12, PC players get access to Life is Strange: True Colors, Panzer Corps 2, and The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk. Here are all the games and their platforms for the first two weeks of April:
- Cricket 22 (Cloud and Console) — April 5
- MLB The Show 22 (Cloud and Console) — April 5
- Chinatown Detective Agency (Cloud, Console, and PC) — April 7
