It’s an exciting time for Xbox Game Pass subscribers, especially after the launch of the highly praised Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in late April, along with the addition of Doom: The Dark Ages and several other popular titles. If you’re looking for a brief respite from battling through the legions of hell, a fresh wave of releases is on the horizon, set to arrive between now and early June.
Beginning with Monster Train 2, the sequel to the immensely popular deck-building roguelite from 2020, which is now available for download on console, PC, and cloud-compatible devices. Starting May 22, Game Pass Standard subscribers can add Creatures of Ava, Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, and Stalker 2 to their game libraries. Additionally, Tales of Kenzera: Zau will be accessible for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
On May 27, The Division 2 will join the Game Pass library for both Standard and Ultimate subscribers, along with the day-one release of To a T, the latest title from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi. May 29 is set to be significant, as you’ll be able to play Metaphor ReFantazio, recognized as one of the best games of 2024. This turn-based fantasy RPG has garnered numerous awards, including GameSpot’s Game of the Year for 2024, and is an essential adventure that celebrates storytelling.
Although it may be overshadowed by the Atlus gem, you can also experience Spray Paint Simulator, another day-one release that appears to draw heavy inspiration from PowerWash Simulator.
As we transition into the next month, you can enjoy a new metroidvania from the previous year, Crypt Custodian, alongside the poetic platformer Symphonia on June 3. Several games will be leaving Game Pass on May 31, so now is the time to explore remarkable titles such as Humanity and Cassette Beasts. If you own a cloud-compatible device, prepare for 15 brand-new games headed to the Xbox Cloud Gaming library, and don’t miss out on the Retro Classics app featuring dozens of notable games from the ’80s and ’90s.
