According to a recent blog post on Xbox Wire, at least 11 new games are coming to the Game Pass, and eight are brand new games that will be available on the platform at launch. Here’s a complete list of all the games coming to Game Pass this May:
Loot River - May 3 Trek to Yomi - May 5 Citizen Sleeper - May 5 Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition - May 10 Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising - May 10 This War of Mine: Final Cut - May 10 NHL 22 - May 12 Floppy Knights - May 24 Hardspace Shipbreaker - May 24 Sniper Elite 5 - May 26 Pac-Man Museum+ - May 27
May’s Game Pass offering isn’t game-changing, by any means, but it’s not half-bad either. The day one releases like Loot River and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition as well as Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising and This War of Mine: Final Cut are all worthy additions. Furthermore, we can consider this the calm before the storm. Microsoft recently announced that it will hold an Xbox and Bethesda showcase next month. With only a few weeks to go until what’s likely going to be one of the biggest digital events this year, Microsoft might be holding its cards close to its chest before it starts making huge announcements. Speaking of Microsoft, the tech giant is one step closer to acquiring Activision Blizzard after the publisher’s shareholders approved the sale. Microsoft paid $70 billion to buy Activision Blizzard in January.
