Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass has welcomed SpongeBob SquarePants: The Patrick Star Game to its ever-growing library, marking the ninth title added in April 2025. This open-world action-adventure game, developed by PHL Collective, joins 38 other new releases that have debuted on the subscription service since January.

Originally unveiled during Nintendo Direct on August 27, 2024, The Patrick Star Game launched for PC and consoles in early October. Now, six months later, it arrives on Xbox Game Pass (excluding the Core tier) with generally favorable player reviews—boasting a 4.4-star Xbox Store rating and "Very Positive" Steam feedback.

What's Next for Xbox Game Pass?

The service shows no signs of slowing down, with five more games slated before April ends. Highlights include:

• Tempopo (April 17): A day-one psychedelic platformer with puzzles.
• Far Cry 4 (April 30): The acclaimed open-world shooter returns.
• DOOM: The Dark Ages (May 15): A brutal day-one addition to the iconic franchise.

How Long Will The Patrick Star Game Stay?

PHL Collective's previous Xbox Game Pass titles had mixed tenures: DC League of Super-Pets left after a year, while Ben 10: Power Trip remains since 2021. Given this pattern, fans can likely enjoy The Patrick Star Game for at least 12 months.

April's Net Gain

Despite losing 13 games (including Sniper Elite 5), Xbox Game Pass will add 14 titles this month—its first net increase since January. Upcoming departures are set for April 30, so catch them while you can!
