May is already underway and Xbox Game Pass is gaining momentum with several confirmed additions for the coming weeks. Although official announcements for the first half of the month are still pending, we already have a solid foundation of games that will be joining the service throughout the month.

The most exciting part is that the catalog combines independent proposals with major releases from day one, something that remains one of the service’s greatest strengths on Xbox Series and PC. Additionally, several titles are still awaiting confirmation of their exact release dates, so the list will continue to grow in the coming days.
