Xbox Game Pass is gearing up for a pretty significant week and not just because of the release of Forza Horizon 6. As is usually the case every month, Microsoft should be revealing the next batch of games coming to the service during the second half of May very soon.

Although Xbox hasn’t officially confirmed the date yet, everything points to the announcement happening on Tuesday, May 19th, following the usual pattern the company has maintained with Game Pass for quite some time.

New Xbox Game Pass games for May expected on Tuesday

Typically, Microsoft announces new additions to Xbox Game Pass every two weeks, often coinciding with the arrival of the last major game confirmed in the previous block. This time around, the clear headliner is Forza Horizon 6, which lands directly in Game Pass on its first day next week.

• For that reason, barring any last-minute changes, it’s logical to expect the new batch of announcements on Tuesday. Additionally, considering the massive weight of Forza Horizon 6‘s release, there’s a lot of anticipation about which other titles might join the service for the rest of the month.

So far, Xbox hasn’t dropped any official hints about the upcoming games, although, as is often the case before each announcement, rumors and leaks will likely start surfacing over the next few days.
