Xbox’s March 19, 2024 update, published on Xbox Wire under the headline “Coming to Xbox Game Pass,” scheduled 11 additions between March 19 and April 2, 2024. Eight of them were dated within March: two were available on March 19, and the rest were scheduled for March 20, 21, 26 and 28. Three more were dated April 1 and April 2. The same update listed three titles as leaving the Game Pass library on March 31: Hot Wheels Unleashed, Infinite Guitars and MLB The Show 23.
Everything below reflects what Xbox announced in March 2024. It is a record of that schedule, not a description of the Game Pass catalogue today.
Games scheduled for the second half of March 2024
The update is titled “Coming to Xbox Game Pass,” and its author was Megan Spurr, identified in the article as Community Lead, Xbox Game Pass. The “second half of March” framing is the reader’s shorthand for the update’s window rather than Xbox’s own wording. Because the schedule runs into April, the table keeps each date exactly as announced.
| Announced date | Game | Platforms as labeled in the announcement |
|---|---|---|
| March 19 (available that day) | Lightyear Frontier (Game Preview) | Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S |
| March 19 (available that day) | MLB The Show 24 | Cloud, Console |
| March 20 | The Quarry | Cloud, Console |
| March 21 | Evil West | Cloud, Console, PC |
| March 26 | Terra Invicta (Game Preview) | PC |
| March 28 | Diablo IV | Console, PC |
| March 28 | Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged | Cloud, Console, PC |
| March 28 | Open Roads | Cloud, Console, PC |
| April 1 | Ark: Survival Ascended | Cloud, PC, Xbox Series X|S |
| April 2 | F1 23 (via EA Play) | Cloud |
| April 2 | Superhot: Mind Control Delete | Cloud, Console, PC |
Three things to note from the table. The March 19 titles were available on the announcement date itself, while the others were scheduled. Ark: Survival Ascended, F1 23 and Superhot: Mind Control Delete fall outside March, so a reader looking only for titles arriving in March should stop at March 28. The platform labels are per title: Diablo IV, for example, is listed for Console and PC but not Cloud, so check the platform you actually play on before assuming access.

Games leaving the library on March 31
Xbox listed three titles as leaving the Game Pass library on March 31, 2024:
- Hot Wheels Unleashed (Cloud, Console, PC)
- Infinite Guitars (Cloud, Console, PC)
- MLB The Show 23 (Cloud, Console)
The announcement encouraged players to finish or buy these games before they left, and quoted the article’s wording directly: “The following games are leaving the Game Pass library soon, be sure to show them some love before they go or consider using your 20% membership discount on your purchase to keep them in your library!”
Rank #2
- Versatile compatibility: supports Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One X/S consoles and PC Win10 and above (including the game platform Steam).
- Precise control: features Hall joysticks and Hall triggers for a comfortable feeling, long service life and improved game accuracy.
- Plug and Play Convenience: Wired USB connection (removable) for easy setup and instant play without the need for additional drivers.
- Customizable experience: Includes 2 custom backbuttons that allow users to eliminate false triggers and improve their gaming experience.

That 20% membership discount was a member benefit described in the 2024 announcement. The article does not establish the discount’s terms, eligibility or whether it still applies, so treat it as a historical reference rather than a current offer. Hot Wheels Unleashed is the original title, and its sequel, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, was scheduled to arrive on March 28, three days before the original’s departure date.
