Xbox is already shaping up to have one of the most powerful months of the year for Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft hasn’t officially announced the full selection for May yet, but there are already a good number of confirmed titles that will be arriving in the coming weeks to the service.
The calendar is especially loaded with new releases from the first day, with highly anticipated names like Forza Horizon 6, Subnautica 2, Mixtape, or Echo Generation 2. Additionally, almost all releases will be available on both Xbox Series and PC, as well as Xbox Cloud Gaming for subscribers of compatible plans.
