Xbox Game Pass is set to have a significant year ahead. Microsoft is working to enhance its competitive edge against PlayStation Plus, and with the recent announcement of a price reduction, there are many possibilities. This year is crucial for Microsoft to establish its presence, starting with Xbox Game Pass.
The upcoming lineup looks promising, as numerous Xbox Game Pass titles are scheduled for May. The Xbox team has recently unveiled the full list, featuring the highlight Forza Horizon 6, which will launch on May 19. Additionally, Call of the Elder Gods will be available from day one for those seeking new games this month.
On the Xbox Wire blog, Microsoft has announced six games that are now available on Xbox Game Pass. You can start playing them immediately, and there are a few titles you might want to try out right away.
With five games launching on Xbox Game Pass across various genres, there will be plenty to enjoy over the weekend. Here is the complete list of games available today on Xbox Game Pass:
- Ben 10 Power Trip
- Descenders Next
- Wheel World
- Wildgate
- Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
If you enjoy action-RPGs, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers comes highly recommended. Many bugs have been addressed through updates, and the game offers a rich experience for fans of Soulslike titles.
Wildgate is an intriguing PvPvE multiplayer shooter that currently holds a “very positive” rating on Steam. Its vibrant visual style is captivating, and since it’s available on Xbox Game Pass, it’s easy to invite friends to join in.
With “mostly positive” reviews, Descenders Next is worth checking out for sports enthusiasts, marketed as the “ultimate extreme sports game.” After spending about a year in Early Access, it recently introduced a career mode in a substantial update.
Wheel World, however, presents a more unconventional premise: “Dive into Wheel World as Kat, a rider chosen by ancient cycling spirits. Race elite teams, trick out your bike, and perform the long overdue Great Shift ritual to save a universe on the brink! Your bike is your destiny.”
The new titles released on May 6 also follow another major addition to Xbox Game Pass: Final Fantasy 5. This classic JRPG launched on May 5 and significantly influenced the franchise with its highly customizable job system.
Even if RPGs are not your favorite genre, Xbox Game Pass has something for everyone this month. The game Mixtape is set to release tomorrow, making May an exciting month for the service.
