Microsoft revealed on Tuesday a list of eight games coming to the Xbox Game Pass catalog for console, PC, and cloud.

Coming this Thursday, April 8 is Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V for console and cloud platforms. The latest game in the successful franchise originally launched in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Also coming on April 8 is third-person co-op shooter Zombie Army 4: Dead War for PC, console, and cloud, while Disneyland Adventures and Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure will be available on the cloud.

Finally, the once-exclusive PlayStation franchise MLB The Show will be coming to the service as announced last week. MLB The Show 21 will be available for both consoles and cloud.
