On Tuesday, Microsoft shared (viaXbox Wire) the latest batch of games headedXbox Game Passthrough the rest of April and into the start of May. One of the big highlights isRedfall, a first-person shooter developed by Arkane Austin and published by Bethesda Softworks, which tasks players with choosing one of four heroes and ridding the town of Redfall of a vampiric infestation.
Outside of this big first-party launch, players can look forward to an eldritch platforming adventure, The Last Case of Benedict Fox.

Windows Central’s take
There’s a great bunch of games coming up in the next couple of weeks. BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a big deal for fighting game fans, and I hope they enjoy it. For me, I’m looking forward to The Last Case of Benedict Fox and of course, Redfall.Hopefully we’ll hear something in the next couple of weeks about Microsoft gettingQuantum Break listed back on the service, after it had to briefly be removed due to needing some license renewals.
